Gunnar Nordahl’s birth chart
Born 19 October 1921, in Hörnefors, Sweden. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Libra Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Gunnar Nordahl’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
19 October 1921 was a Wednesday: the day Gunnar Nordahl was born in Hörnefors, Sweden. That made Gunnar a Libra. The Moon left Taurus for Gemini at about 20:20 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Gunnar died on 15 September 1995, aged 73. No verified birth time is on file for Gunnar; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is three air, three water, two earth and one fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and three. Sun, Jupiter and Saturn all fall in Libra. Closest of the aspects is the square between Mercury and Neptune, about 0.6° 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: Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 19 October, among them John le Carré, Philip Pullman and Michael Gambon.
Gunnar Nordahl’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 25° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Gunnar Nordahl's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 20:20, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 20:20: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Gunnar, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 20:20: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Gunnar, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Hörnefors, Sweden, at each hour of the day.
Gunnar Nordahl’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Gunnar yet. 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 19 October 1921, computed for Hörnefors, Sweden.

Gunnar Nordahl’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gunnar Nordahl’s private life.
Sun in Libra
25° Libra 31' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Gunnar Nordahl's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 20:20, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 20:20: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Gunnar more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 20:20: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Gunnar is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Mercury in Scorpio
16° Scorpio 16' at midday
mind and voice
With Mercury in Scorpio, Gunnar tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Virgo
28° Virgo 25' at midday
love and values
With Venus in Virgo, Gunnar is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Virgo
18° Virgo 44' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Gunnar is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Libra
5° Libra 01' at midday
growth and excess
In Gunnar'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 Libra
1° Libra 24' at midday
discipline and doubt
For Gunnar, 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 Pisces
6° Pisces 00' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Gunnar has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
15° Leo 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Gunnar 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
10° Cancer 03' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Gunnar 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 Gunnar Nordahl’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 0.6° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Gunnar Nordahl is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 2.5° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Gunnar, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Gunnar is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 3.6° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Gunnar's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 5.0° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Gunnar'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 6.2° at midday
Gunnar'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 Gunnar can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
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.
