Malcolm Turnbull’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Malcolm Turnbull was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, on 24 October 1954, a Sunday. The Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio at about 08:55 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Libra for a birth before then, Scorpio after. The Moon left Virgo for Libra at about 10:10 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Malcolm turns 72 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Malcolm; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the seven planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in water signs, two in air and one in fire; none is in earth. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, four and none. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune and Pluto, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 24 October, among them Wayne Rooney, Drake and PewDiePie.

Malcolm Turnbull’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 08:55, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 08:55: Sun in Libra
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Malcolm Turnbull'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.
Born after about 08:55: Sun in Scorpio
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Malcolm, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 10:10, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:10: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Malcolm 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 10:10: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Malcolm, 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 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, at each hour of the day.
Malcolm Turnbull’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Malcolm 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 24 October 1954, computed for Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 24 October 1954, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Libra into Scorpio at about 08:55, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Malcolm Turnbull’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Malcolm Turnbull’s private life.
Sun in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 08:55, then Scorpio
purpose and vitality
Born before about 08:55: Sun in Libra
With the Sun in Libra, Malcolm Turnbull'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.
Born after about 08:55: Sun in Scorpio
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Malcolm's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
Moon in Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 10:10, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 10:10: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Malcolm's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Malcolm's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 10:10: 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 Malcolm'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.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Malcolm tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 09:30, then Sagittarius
love and values
Born before about 09:30: Venus in Scorpio
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Malcolm 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.
Born after about 09:30: Venus in Sagittarius
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Malcolm probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Malcolm can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Cancer
29° Cancer 00' at midday
growth and excess
For Malcolm, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Malcolm letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Cancer
27° Cancer 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Malcolm alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
25° Libra 57' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Malcolm 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.
Pluto in Leo
26° Leo 29' 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 Malcolm, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Malcolm Turnbull’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 trine Jupiter
about 1.0° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Malcolm Turnbull's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Sun square Jupiter
about 1.1° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Malcolm may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Malcolm is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Sun square Mars
about 1.5° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Malcolm's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Venus sextile Mars
about 1.7° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Malcolm 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.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 1.8° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Malcolm's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.
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?
