Keith Richards’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Keith Richards was born in Dartford, England, on 18 December 1943, a Saturday. The Sun was in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Virgo. Keith turns 83 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Keith; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

Of the ten planets, four are in air signs, three in fire, two in earth and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, three and five. Mars, Saturn and Uranus all fall in Gemini. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mars and Pluto, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Five planets were retrograde: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning gibbous to last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 18 December, among them Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera.

Keith Richards’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Sagittarius

about 25° Sagittarius at midday

A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Keith Richards forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.

All Sagittarius Suns

Moon sign

Virgo

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Keith 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.

Keith Richards’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Keith Richards’s private life.

  1. Sun in Sagittarius

    25° Sagittarius 39' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Keith Richards's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

  2. Moon in Virgo

    Virgo, all day

    needs and habits

    The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Keith's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Keith's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn

    14° Capricorn 51' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Keith tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Keith will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.

  4. Venus in Scorpio

    11° Scorpio 32' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Keith is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.

  5. Mars in Gemini

    8° Gemini 19' at midday ℞

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Gemini, Keith 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.

  6. Jupiter in Leo

    27° Leo 01' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Keith the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.

  7. Saturn in Gemini

    22° Gemini 56' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Keith that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.

  8. Uranus in Gemini

    6° Gemini 03' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Gemini is shared by Keith and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    4° Libra 08' at midday

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Keith 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    8° Leo 26' 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 Keith, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Keith Richards’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.

  1. Mars sextile Pluto

    about 0.1° at midday

    This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Keith Richards without constant conflict. Keith is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.

  2. Sun trine Jupiter

    about 1.4° at midday

    With the Sun trine Jupiter, Keith'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.

  3. Mars conjunction Uranus

    about 2.3° at midday

    Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Keith 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.

  4. Sun opposition Saturn

    about 2.7° at midday

    With the Sun opposite Saturn, Keith is likely to find that asserting who they are brings them up against the caution, rules or authority figures that seem to stand in the way. Working through that tension builds a confidence that does not need everyone's approval to hold steady.

  5. Venus square Pluto

    about 3.1° at midday

    Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Keith chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.

  6. Mercury sextile Venus

    about 3.3° at midday

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Keith's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.

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.
