Duncan Edwards’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Duncan Edwards was born in Dudley, England, on 1 October 1936, a Thursday. Their zodiac sign was Libra, with the Moon in Aries. Duncan died on 21 February 1958, aged 21. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three earth, three water, two fire and two air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and four. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Mars: a sextile, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Mercury, Saturn and Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 October, among them Jimmy Carter, Julie Andrews and George Weah.

Duncan Edwards’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 8° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Duncan Edwards's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Duncan is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Dudley, England, at each hour of the day.
Duncan Edwards’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Duncan 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 1 October 1936, computed for Dudley, England.

Duncan Edwards’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Duncan Edwards’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Duncan Edwards's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Duncan, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Duncan tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Duncan 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.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Duncan is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
18° Sagittarius 19' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Duncan is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Duncan, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Taurus
8° Taurus 44' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Duncan 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
17° Virgo 19' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Duncan 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 Cancer
28° Cancer 35' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Duncan to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Duncan Edwards’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.
Venus sextile Mars
about 0.3° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Duncan Edwards go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Duncan is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 0.7° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Duncan it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.9° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Duncan's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 1.0° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Duncan the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
Venus square Pluto
about 4.7° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Duncan chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.

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?
