David O. Russell’s birth chart

Born August 20, 1958 in Manhattan, birth time not public.

Leo Sun · Scorpio Moon · Fire · Fixed

Sun

Leo

27° Leo 07'

You shine. Warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who you really are run through everything you do. A Leo Sun grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.

Moon

Scorpio

11° Scorpio 59'

You feel everything and show little. Trust is slow, private and absolute, and betrayal is not forgotten. You are restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.

Cast for noon; the Moon may be up to 6° off without a birth time.

David O. Russell's full reading

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

  1. Sun in Leo

    27° Leo 07'

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for they i tied to creating and being genuinely seen doing it, and their vitality rises the moment they have an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. It shows up as the extra effort they put into something the moment someone notices they making it.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    11° Scorpio 59'

    needs and habits

    Their emotional needs run deep and private, and they would rather manage a hard feeling alone than explain it while it is still raw. Daily trust is earned slowly and rarely given back once broken. It shows up as needing real privacy, even in a home full of people they love.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    2° Virgo 34'

    mind and voice

    Their thinking is precise and detail oriented, and they communicate clearly because they have usually checked their facts first. The tension is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. It shows up as editing a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.

  4. Venus in Leo

    5° Leo 36'

    love and values

    They love generously and openly, and they value being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else they could offer they. The tension is needing steady reassurance that David is still adored. It shows up as grand, thoughtful gestures and a genuine hurt when they go unnoticed.

  5. Mars in Taurus

    17° Taurus 32'

    drive and anger

    They act deliberately and stick with a course once they have chosen it, and their anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. The tension is digging in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It shows up as needing real provocation to snap, and staying rattled for a while after they do.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    27° Libra 01'

    growth and excess

    They grow through partnership and a genuine gift for bringing people together. The overreach is people-pleasing so broadly that they end up overcommitted to everyone's expectations at once. It shows up as being the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    19° Sagittarius 06'

    discipline and doubt

    They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

  8. Uranus in Leo

    12° Leo 56'

    freedom, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who redefine self-expression and individuality, often through new forms of creativity and visibility unavailable to earlier generations. Personally, it can show up as comfort being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio

    2° Scorpio 22'

    imagination, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people whose collective imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, often through a wider cultural fascination with secrets and endings. Personally, it can show up as being pulled toward mystery for its own sake.

  10. Pluto in Virgo

    1° Virgo 51'

    power, generational

    Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of work, health systems and daily life itself. Personally, it can show up as intensity around control, order and what a body or a system can actually handle.

Aspects

How the planets in David O. Russell's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

  1. Sun sextile Jupiter

    0.1° separating

    Their identity and their sense of possibility work together nicely, opening doors when David is willing to walk through them. A little deliberate effort turns this natural optimism into real momentum that carries past the initial burst of enthusiasm.

  2. Mercury sextile Neptune

    0.2° applying

    Their thinking and their imagination cooperate gently, giving they easy access to creative and intuitive ideas. This is soft, pleasant inventiveness rather than hard analysis, useful for softening a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.

  3. Neptune sextile Pluto

    0.5° applying

    Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.

  4. Mercury conjunction Pluto

    0.7° applying

    Their thinking is probing and intense, and David is drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. This gives they real investigative strength, and the edge is not assuming a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.
