Geezer Butler’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 24° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Geezer Butler, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Geezer 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 Birmingham, England, at each hour of the day.

Geezer Butler’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Geezer Butler’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Geezer Butler is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Geezer, 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 Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Geezer probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Geezer, 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Geezer is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Capricorn
27° Capricorn 37' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Geezer would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Geezer may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
2° Cancer 12' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Geezer alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
12° Libra 32' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Geezer among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
15° Leo 30' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Geezer, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Geezer Butler’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 square Neptune
about 1.2° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Geezer Butler is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Geezer a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Sun opposition Jupiter
about 3.1° at midday
The Sun opposite Jupiter can leave Geezer torn between their own direction and the draw of other people's philosophies, mentors and offers. Finding their own confidence rather than borrowing someone else's is what turns this pull into growth they can stand behind.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Geezer is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Mars conjunction Uranus
about 6.1° at midday
Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Geezer probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
