Irene Cara’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
18 March 1959 was a Wednesday: the day Irene Cara was born in New York City, New York. That made Irene a Pisces, with the Moon in Cancer. Irene died on 25 November 2022, aged 63. No verified birth time is on file for Irene; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against water three, earth two and air one. By modality the count is four cardinal, four mutable and two fixed. 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. Three planets were retrograde all day: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Jupiter changed direction that day, turning retrograde, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 18 March, among them Luc Besson, Lily Collins and Adam Levine. Luc Besson was born on the very same day.

Irene Cara’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 27° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Irene Cara the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Irene that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 New York City, New York, at each hour of the day.
Irene Cara’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Irene 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 18 March 1959, computed for New York City, New York.

Irene Cara’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Irene Cara’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Irene Cara's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
With the Moon in Cancer, Irene's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Irene thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Irene that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
With Mars in Gemini, Irene 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 Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 59' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Irene is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Irene, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Leo
12° Leo 41' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Irene shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
6° Scorpio 33' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Irene 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
2° Virgo 22' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Irene 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 Irene Cara’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
Irene Cara'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 trine Uranus
about 0.3° at midday
Insight is likely to come to Irene fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Irene's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 4.0° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Irene can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 4.6° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Irene's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 4.7° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Irene, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
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?
