Gordie Howe’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
31 March 1928 was a Saturday: the day Gordie Howe was born in Floral, Saskatchewan, Canada. Their zodiac sign was Aries, with the Moon in Leo. Gordie died on 10 June 2016, aged 88. No verified birth time is on file for Gordie; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is six fire, three water, one air and no earth. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Sun, Jupiter and Uranus all fall in Aries. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Pluto: a square, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Saturn and Neptune. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 31 March, among them Al Gore, Ewan McGregor and Christopher Walken.

Gordie Howe’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 10° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Gordie Howe that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
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 Gordie 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 Floral, Saskatchewan, Canada, at each hour of the day.
Gordie Howe’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 31 March 1928, computed for Floral, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Gordie Howe’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gordie Howe’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Gordie Howe's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Gordie faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Gordie did.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Gordie is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Gordie probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Gordie can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Aries
15° Aries 08' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Gordie's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Gordie is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Aries
3° Aries 47' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Gordie shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Leo
26° Leo 44' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Gordie alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
14° Cancer 58' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Gordie 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 Gordie Howe’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.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Gordie Howe's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
Gordie's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Gordie can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Venus trine Pluto
about 1.8° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Gordie's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Mars opposition Neptune
about 2.0° at midday
Gordie may find direct action pulling one way and, the other way, a tendency to lose momentum in doubt or in an unclear picture of what is wanted. Getting specific about the goal, even roughly, tends to restore the energy that vagueness drains.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 2.0° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Gordie's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Venus square Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Gordie 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.

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?
