Dwyane Wade’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Dwyane Wade was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 17 January 1982, a Sunday. The Sun was in Capricorn, so Capricorn is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Libra for Scorpio at about 00:45 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Dwyane turns 44 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Air carries the most weight: five of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, earth one and water one. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mars, Saturn and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Uranus: a sextile, about 0.2° 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: Venus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 17 January, among them Muhammad Ali, Jim Carrey and Betty White. Wikidata links Dwyane with one person in the dataset: Gabrielle Union (married in 2014).

Dwyane Wade’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 27° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Dwyane Wade up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 00:45, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Dwyane, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 00:45: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Dwyane that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Chicago, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Dwyane Wade’s rising sign, by birth time

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 17 January 1982, computed for Chicago, Illinois.

Dwyane Wade’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Dwyane Wade’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, Dwyane Wade is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 00:45, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 00:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Dwyane's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 00:45: Moon in Scorpio
For Dwyane, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
In Dwyane's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Dwyane may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In Dwyane's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Scorpio
8° Scorpio 12' 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 Dwyane, 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.
For Dwyane, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Sagittarius
3° Sagittarius 29' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Dwyane than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Sagittarius
25° Sagittarius 44' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Dwyane in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
26° Libra 53' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Dwyane belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Dwyane Wade’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 Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Dwyane Wade's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Sun square Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
With this aspect, Dwyane's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Dwyane chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mercury trine Mars
about 2.9° at midday
Dwyane's thinking and drive support each other, and it shows in decisions communicated with clarity and confidence. Debate and quick thinking come easily with Mercury trine Mars, which makes Dwyane persuasive when the moment calls for it.
Saturn sextile Neptune
about 3.6° at midday
Dwyane's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
about 4.8° at midday
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Dwyane the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
Venus square Jupiter
about 4.9° at midday
Under this square, Dwyane's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
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?
