M. Night Shyamalan’s birth chart
Born 6 August 1970, in Mahé, India. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Virgo or Libra
M. Night Shyamalan’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
M. Night Shyamalan was born in Mahé, India, on 6 August 1970, a Thursday. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 18:05, from Virgo to Libra; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. They turn 56 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in earth signs, two in fire, two in air and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, four and three. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mercury, Venus and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Venus sextile Neptune, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Neptune. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 6 August, among them Andy Warhol, Robin van Persie and Lucille Ball. Yutaka Akita was born on the very same day.

M. Night Shyamalan’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 13° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For M. Night Shyamalan 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
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 18:05, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 18:05: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, M. Night Shyamalan 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.
Born after about 18:05: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle M. Night Shyamalan, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Mahé, India, at each hour of the day.
M. Night Shyamalan’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for M. Night Shyamalan 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 6 August 1970, computed for Mahé, India.

M. Night Shyamalan’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about M. Night Shyamalan’s private life.
Purpose for M. Night Shyamalan 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 Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 18:05, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 18:05: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle M. Night Shyamalan's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when M. Night Shyamalan's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 18:05: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off M. Night Shyamalan's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
For M. Night Shyamalan, 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.
With Venus in Virgo, M. Night Shyamalan 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 Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for M. Night Shyamalan 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 Libra
28° Libra 47' at midday
growth and excess
In M. Night Shyamalan'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 Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and M. Night Shyamalan is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
5° Libra 55' at midday
freedom, generational
M. Night Shyamalan holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 07' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that M. Night Shyamalan 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
25° Virgo 39' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by M. Night Shyamalan 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 M. Night Shyamalan’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.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for M. Night Shyamalan, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 1.2° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, M. Night Shyamalan's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 2.0° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and M. Night Shyamalan is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 3.8° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so M. Night Shyamalan 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.
Venus trine Saturn
about 5.8° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives M. Night Shyamalan, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 6.3° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and M. Night Shyamalan is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
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.
