Douglas Adams’s birth chart

Douglas Adams's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Pisces

   ♓ 20° Pisces 49' · tenth house

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and their vitality ebbs and flows with their surroundings. The tension is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. It shows up as the days they feel unstoppable and the days they need to disappear for a while.

   Career and public standing matter to their sense of self more than almost anything else in their life, whether they admit that plainly or not. They want their name attached to something visible and worth being proud of, and they tend to work accordingly for years.

2. ☽Moon in Virgo

   ♍ 17° Virgo 28' · fourth house

   needs and habits

   Their habits run toward order, and a messy space or an unfinished list unsettles their mood more than most people would guess. Douglas is calmed by small, useful tasks. The tension is turning self-care into another chore to get right instead of something they actually enjoy.

   Home is where their emotions live, and Douglas is unusually sensitive to the mood of the household they grew up in or the one they keep now. A settled, calm home life steadies almost everything else about they, while chaos there unsettles they fast.

3. ☿Mercury in Aries

   ♈ 6° Aries 34' · tenth house

   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.

   They think strategically about their reputation and their next career move, often turning plans over quietly in their head long before anyone else knows they exist. Clear, well-timed communication tends to serve their ambitions better than almost any other single skill they have.

4. ♀Venus in Aquarius

   ♒ 23° Aquarius 41' · ninth house

   love and values

   They love as a friend first, and they value independence, shared ideas and a partner who does not crowd they. The tension is keeping just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach even to they. It shows up as valuing a partner's individuality sometimes more than the intimacy between they.

   Douglas is drawn to beauty in other cultures, in travel and in big, sweeping ideas about how the world works. A shared love of exploring somewhere new can genuinely be part of what draws they to a person, and learning together appeals to they deeply.

5. ♂Mars in Scorpio

   ♏ 17° Scorpio 20' · fifth house

   drive and anger

   They act with focus and intensity, and their anger, when it surfaces, is controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The tension is holding onto a grievance well past its useful life. It shows up as a calm exterior that gives little warning before a genuinely sharp response.

   Their creative and romantic pursuits carry real intensity, and they go after what genuinely excites they without much hesitation or overthinking. Competition and passion both come alive in this part of their life, and half-hearted effort here rarely satisfies they for long.

6. ♃Jupiter in Aries

   ♈ 18° Aries 30' · eleventh house

   growth and excess

   They grow through bold, direct action and taking the first step before they feel fully ready. The overreach is starting more than they can realistically finish. It shows up as a burst of confidence that gets a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is fully in place.

   Their circle of friends tends to be wide and varied, and they bring genuine enthusiasm to group causes and community projects that catch their interest. People are drawn to their optimism when working toward a shared goal, and it tends to be contagious in a group.

7. ♄Saturn in Libra

   ♎ 13° Libra 11' ℞ · fifth house

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around relationships, often after early experiences that made fairness and commitment feel harder to trust than they should have been. The doubt shows up as overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. It shows up as becoming, with time, someone people rely on to negotiate and hold agreements fairly.

   Self-expression and romance may have felt risky or quietly judged early in life, making playfulness something they had to practice rather than something that came free and easy. Creative confidence tends to deepen with age for they, arriving later than it does for most people.

8. ♅Uranus in Cancer

   ♋ 9° Cancer 55' ℞ · first house

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures their own parents grew up inside. Personally, it can show up as a pull to build family life differently.

   They come across as unconventional, and their presence tends to shift the energy of a room simply by being unpredictable in a way people cannot quite place. They resist being easily defined, even by themselves, and labels tend to fit they only loosely at best.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 21° Libra 06' ℞ · fifth house

   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.

   Romance and creativity carry a dreamlike, sometimes idealized quality for they, and they may fall for a fantasy just as easily as for an actual person. Artistic expression, in whatever form they choose, gives their imagination somewhere genuinely real and grounded to go.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 19° Leo 38' ℞ · third house

    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.

    Their mind is drawn to what lies underneath a conversation, and they rarely settle for the tidy, surface version of an explanation. Words, for they, can be a way of exposing what other people would honestly rather leave hidden, even when that makes things briefly uncomfortable.

How the planets in Douglas Adams's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Moon sextile Mars

   0.1° separating

2. Jupiter trine Pluto

   1.1° applying

   Their optimism and their capacity for transformation support each other, giving they real power to turn a big vision into lasting change. Growth for they tend to be deep as well as broad, which is why their bigger changes tend to actually stick.

3. Neptune sextile Pluto

   1.5° 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. Mars square Pluto

   2.3° applying

   Their drive can turn into a fight for control, whether with themselves or with people who resist they. Each time they choose to redirect that intensity into the actual work, this friction turns into real, lasting strength.
