David Oyelowo’s birth chart

David Oyelowo'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

   ♈ 11° Aries 50'

   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 Taurus

   ♉ 0° Taurus 42'

   needs and habits

   They need routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. Sudden schedule changes unsettle they more than they let on. It shows up in how much a good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

3. ☿Mercury in Aries

   ♈ 11° Aries 32'

   mind and voice

   They think in quick, decisive strokes and say what they mean without much preamble. The tension is speaking before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It shows up as finishing other people's sentences and preferring a fast decision to a long meeting.

4. ♀Venus in Pisces

   ♓ 21° Pisces 28'

   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 Cancer

   ♋ 6° Cancer 23'

   drive and anger

   They act to protect the people and things they care about, and their anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The tension is going quiet or indirect instead of naming what upset they. It shows up as a mood shift that takes people a while to trace back to its actual cause.

6. ♃Jupiter in Taurus

   ♉ 1° Taurus 23'

   growth and excess

   They grow through patience, and their luck tends to show up in steady accumulation rather than a single windfall. The overreach is excess, holding onto more comfort or more stuff than actually serves they. It shows up as a generosity with food, gifts and shared pleasures that occasionally tips into indulgence.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 26° Cancer 02'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Scorpio

   ♏ 6° Scorpio 05' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms power, secrecy and shared resources, often living through major upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. Personally, it can show up as a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

9. ♆Neptune in Sagittarius

   ♐ 13° Sagittarius 53' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of grand belief systems and utopian journeys. Personally, it can show up as a hopeful faith that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

10. ♇Pluto in Libra

    ♎ 10° Libra 18' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of partnership, justice and social contracts. Personally, it can show up as an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects

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

1. Mars trine Uranus

   0.3° separating

   Their drive and their originality flow together easily, giving they fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Bold moves tend to work out for they, more often than the risk involved would seem to justify.

2. Sun conjunction Mercury

   0.3° applying

   Their sense of self and the way they think are fused, so their opinions feel like statements of who David is. They speak their mind readily, and separating a passing thought from their identity takes practice worth doing.

3. Moon conjunction Jupiter

   0.7° applying

   Their emotional life is generous and expansive, so their feelings tend to come with a built-in sense of hope. This makes they naturally warm and reassuring to be around, and the growth edge is not promising more comfort than they can actually deliver.

4. Mercury opposition Pluto

   1.2° separating

   They feel a pull between their own conclusions and other people's attempts to control the narrative, which can turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the actual argument, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
