Ian Thorpe’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Ian Thorpe was born on Wednesday, 13 October 1982, in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Their zodiac sign is Libra. The Moon was in Leo until about 12:10 and in Virgo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Ian turns 44 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Air carries the most weight: five of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, water one and earth none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, one and three. Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Libra. Three planets stand together in Sagittarius: Mars, Uranus and Neptune. The tightest aspect is Saturn sextile Neptune, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 13 October, among them Sacha Baron Cohen, Nana Mouskouri and Paul Simon.

Ian Thorpe’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 19° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Ian Thorpe'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
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 12:10, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 12:10: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Ian up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 12:10: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Ian is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, at each hour of the day.
Ian Thorpe’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ian 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 13 October 1982, computed for Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Ian Thorpe’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ian Thorpe’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Ian Thorpe'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 Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 12:10, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 12:10: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Ian faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Ian did.
Born after about 12:10: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Ian's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Ian's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Ian 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 Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Ian probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Ian may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
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. Ian 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 Scorpio
14° Scorpio 02' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Ian, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
For Ian, 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 Sagittarius
2° Sagittarius 16' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Ian than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Sagittarius
24° Sagittarius 38' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Ian in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
26° Libra 33' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Ian belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Ian Thorpe’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.
Saturn sextile Neptune
about 0.2° at midday
Ian Thorpe's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Ian, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Ian the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
Venus sextile Mars
about 2.4° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Ian go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Sun sextile Mars
about 3.2° at midday
Ian's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Sun conjunction Saturn
about 5.1° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make Ian reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.
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?
