Leo Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Kenny Rogers’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Kenny Rogers was born on Sunday, 21 August 1938, in Houston, Texas. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Gemini for Cancer at about 02:40 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Kenny died on 20 March 2020, aged 81. No verified birth time is on file for Kenny; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, three in earth and two in air; none is in water. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs two and mutable signs two. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mars and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Sun opposition Jupiter, about 0.8° 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: Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 21 August, among them Robert Lewandowski, Mohammed VI of Morocco and Sergey Brin.

Kenny Rogers’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 27° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Kenny Rogers that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 02:40, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:40: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Kenny, 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.
Born after about 02:40: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Kenny 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 Houston, Texas, at each hour of the day.
Kenny Rogers’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Kenny 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 21 August 1938, computed for Houston, Texas.

Kenny Rogers’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Kenny Rogers’s private life.
Purpose for Kenny Rogers is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 02:40, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 02:40: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Kenny 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.
Born after about 02:40: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Kenny'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.
For Kenny, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Kenny 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. Kenny may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Kenny its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aquarius
27° Aquarius 12' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Kenny may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Kenny, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Taurus
17° Taurus 48' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Kenny shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
20° Virgo 01' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Kenny shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
0° Leo 28' 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 Kenny, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Kenny Rogers’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.
Sun opposition Jupiter
about 0.8° at midday
The Sun opposite Jupiter can leave Kenny Rogers torn between their own direction and the draw of other people's philosophies, mentors and offers. Finding their own confidence rather than borrowing someone else's is what turns this pull into growth they can stand behind.
Mars square Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Kenny as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Mars trine Saturn
about 1.4° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Kenny is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Venus opposition Saturn
about 4.6° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Kenny, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
