Dionne Warwick’s birth chart

Dionne Warwick’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
12 December 1940 was a Thursday: the day Dionne Warwick was born in East Orange, New Jersey. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon was in Taurus until about 19:10 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Dionne turns 86 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Dionne, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, water two and air none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is none, six and three. Three planets stand together in Taurus: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Pluto: a trine, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 12 December, among them Frank Sinatra, Chinghiz Aitmatov and Jennifer Connelly.

Dionne Warwick’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 20° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Dionne Warwick forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 19:10, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 19:10: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Dionne, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 19:10: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Dionne, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over East Orange, New Jersey, at each hour of the day.
Dionne Warwick’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Dionne yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 12 December 1940, computed for East Orange, New Jersey.

Dionne Warwick’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Dionne Warwick’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Dionne Warwick's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

Taurus until about 19:10, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 19:10: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Dionne more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 19:10: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Dionne is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Dionne's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Dionne is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
In Dionne's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Taurus
6° Taurus 15' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Dionne's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Dionne is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Taurus
23° Taurus 05' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Dionne shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
27° Virgo 36' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Dionne shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
4° Leo 02' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Dionne, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Dionne Warwick’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
Dionne Warwick's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Dionne can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 2.2° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Dionne's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 2.3° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Dionne's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Venus opposition Uranus
about 3.2° at midday
Dionne may want intimacy and still feel a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things seem too certain; that is the tension of Venus opposite Uranus. Naming the need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.
Saturn square Pluto
about 4.6° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Dionne may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 5.4° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Dionne, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

- Mars opposition Saturnabout 5.9°
