DMX’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
DMX was born on Friday, 18 December 1970, in Mount Vernon, New York. Their zodiac sign was Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 06:05, from Leo to Virgo; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. DMX died on 9 April 2021, aged 50. StarMap has no verified birth time for DMX, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three earth, three water, two fire and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, four and three. Venus, Mars and Jupiter all fall in Scorpio. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Uranus: a square, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 18 December, among them Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera.

DMX’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 26° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull DMX 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
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 06:05, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 06:05: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill DMX up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 06:05: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, DMX is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Mount Vernon, New York, at each hour of the day.
DMX’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for DMX 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 18 December 1970, computed for Mount Vernon, New York.

DMX’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about DMX’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where DMX'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.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 06:05, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 06:05: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain DMX faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small DMX did.
Born after about 06:05: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle DMX's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when DMX's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and DMX tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. DMX will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and DMX 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 DMX'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 Scorpio
24° Scorpio 57' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for DMX, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and DMX 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 Libra
13° Libra 07' at midday
freedom, generational
DMX holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 32' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to DMX in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
29° Virgo 38' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by DMX and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in DMX’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 square Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or DMX may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Venus opposition Saturn
about 1.2° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For DMX, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 1.3° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in DMX's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
DMX's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Sun square Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
With this aspect, DMX's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever DMX chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 4.7° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with DMX's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
