Eric Clapton’s birth chart

Eric Clapton's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Aries

   ♈ 9° Aries 22'

   purpose and vitality

   Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.

2. ☽Moon in Libra

   ♎ 28° Libra 06'

   needs and habits

   They need harmony in their immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off their whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The tension is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they actually want.

3. ☿Mercury in Aries

   ♈ 26° Aries 56'

   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.

4. ♀Venus in Taurus

   ♉ 3° Taurus 04' ℞

   love and values

   They love steadily and show it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures. They value loyalty and things built to last. The tension is holding onto a relationship past its natural end because change feels like loss. It shows up as remembering exactly how someone takes their coffee, months in.

5. ♂Mars in Pisces

   ♓ 4° Pisces 07'

   drive and anger

   They act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and their anger can turn into sadness before they have even named it as anger. The tension is absorbing conflict rather than addressing it. It shows up as needing to physically leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

6. ♃Jupiter in Virgo

   ♍ 20° Virgo 26' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 4° Cancer 23'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 9° Gemini 52'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 4° Libra 56' ℞

   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.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 8° Leo 00' ℞

    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.

Aspects

How the planets in Eric Clapton's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mars trine Saturn

   0.3° applying

   Their drive and their discipline support each other, giving they real staying power on long, difficult goals. They get more done, more consistently, than the effort it visibly costs they, which is a real, if quiet, advantage over time.

2. Sun sextile Uranus

   0.5° applying

   Their identity and their originality get along well, giving they room to be a little unconventional without it costing they much. This is an easy, low-drama kind of independence that other people tend to find refreshing rather than alarming.

3. Saturn square Neptune

   0.6° applying

   Their practical sense and their idealism can pull against each other, showing up as either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The lesson is building the structure and protecting the dream at the same time, rather than sacrificing one for the other.

4. Venus sextile Mars

   1.1° separating

   Their affections and their drive cooperate, making it easy to pursue what they like without much internal conflict. This is a pleasant, workable kind of confidence that serves they especially well in the early stages of anything new.
