Gary Speed’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Gary Speed was born in Mancot, Wales, on 8 September 1969, a Monday. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Leo. Gary died on 27 November 2011, aged 42. 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 fire, three earth, three air and one water. By modality the count is four fixed, three cardinal and three mutable. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus all fall in Libra. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Venus: a sextile, about 0.4° 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 a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 8 September, among them Peter Sellers, Avicii and Pink.

Gary Speed’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 15° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Gary Speed is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Gary up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Mancot, Wales, at each hour of the day.
Gary Speed’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 8 September 1969, computed for Mancot, Wales.

Gary Speed’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gary Speed’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Gary Speed's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Gary faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Gary did.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Gary 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 Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Gary, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Gary may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Libra
9° Libra 42' at midday
growth and excess
In Gary's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Gary 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
3° Libra 12' at midday
freedom, generational
Gary 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 Scorpio
26° Scorpio 12' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Gary shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
24° Virgo 34' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Gary 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 Gary Speed’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 sextile Venus
about 0.4° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Gary Speed'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.
Mars square Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Gary's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 2.2° at midday
Gary's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Venus sextile Jupiter
about 2.6° at midday
Warmth and generosity come naturally to Gary and stop short of overextending, because affection and optimism work together in this sextile. Call it comfortable, unforced goodwill, the kind that makes people feel welcome without any performance being needed.
Venus square Saturn
about 3.6° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Gary that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 6.5° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Gary is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
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?
