David Letterman’s birth chart

David Letterman's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aries

   ♈ 21° Aries 59'

   purpose and vitality

   Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.

2. ☽Moon in Capricorn

   ♑ 12° Capricorn 44'

   needs and habits

   Their comfort comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave they oddly unsettled even on holiday. They keep their harder feelings for when David is alone. It shows up as tidying, organising or finishing one more task before they allow themselves to rest.

3. ☿Mercury in Pisces

   ♓ 25° Pisces 24'

   mind and voice

   They think in images and impressions more than straight lines, and they communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. The tension is struggling to explain a conclusion they nonetheles feel certain about. It shows up as knowing something is off before they can say why.

4. ♀Venus in Pisces

   ♓ 15° Pisces 12'

   love and values

   They love without much guard, and they value emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The tension is idealising a partner before they have really seen them. It shows up as giving generously to relationships and struggling to notice when David is giving more than David is getting.

5. ♂Mars in Aries

   ♈ 0° Aries 36'

   drive and anger

   They act immediately and decisively, and their anger flares fast, hot and honest before it clears. The tension is acting before they have thought a situation all the way through. It shows up as starting the argument or the project the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.

6. ♃Jupiter in Scorpio

   ♏ 26° Scorpio 15' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, which tends to pay off later even when it costs something now. The overreach is an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. It shows up as a resilience people notice only after they have already come through the hard part.

7. ♄Saturn in Leo

   ♌ 2° Leo 01'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around genuine self-expression, often held back early by a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt shows up as downplaying their own achievements before anyone else can. It shows up as a hard-won, unshowy confidence that arrives once they stop waiting for permission to be seen.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 18° Gemini 40'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 9° Libra 05' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 11° Leo 00' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

1. Mercury trine Jupiter

2. Mars trine Saturn

   1.4° applying

   Their drive and their discipline support each other, giving they real staying power on long, difficult goals. They get more done, more consistently, than the effort it visibly costs they, which is a real, if quiet, advantage over time.
