Malcolm Young’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Malcolm Young was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on 6 January 1953, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Capricorn, so Capricorn was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Virgo for Libra at about 22:35 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Malcolm died on 18 November 2017, aged 64. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

By element the count is three water, two earth, two air and one fire, leaving out the Moon and Mercury, whose signs depend on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and two. The tightest aspect is Sun opposition Uranus, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 6 January, among them Rowan Atkinson, Adriano Celentano and Eddie Redmayne.

Malcolm Young’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Capricorn

about 15° Capricorn at midday

A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Malcolm Young up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.

All Capricorn Suns

Moon sign

Virgo or Libra

Virgo until about 22:35, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 22:35: 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 22:35: 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 Glasgow, Scotland, at each hour of the day.

Malcolm Young’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 6 January 1953, computed for Glasgow, Scotland.

Malcolm Young’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Capricorn

    15° Capricorn 53' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Capricorn, Malcolm Young is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

  2. Moon in Virgo or Libra

    Virgo until about 22:35, then Libra

    needs and habits

    Born before about 22:35: 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 22:35: 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.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius or Capricorn

    Sagittarius until about 13:25, then Capricorn

    mind and voice

    Born before about 13:25: Mercury in Sagittarius

    Malcolm's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

    Born after about 13:25: Mercury in Capricorn

    Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Malcolm 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. Malcolm will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.

  4. Venus in Pisces

    1° Pisces 10' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Malcolm probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    5° Pisces 05' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Pisces, Malcolm is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus

    10° Taurus 58' at midday

    growth and excess

    In Malcolm's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    26° Libra 32' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    For Malcolm, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    16° Cancer 31' 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.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    23° Libra 47' 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    22° Leo 51' 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 Young’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. Sun opposition Uranus

    about 0.6° at midday

    With the Sun opposite Uranus, Malcolm Young's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.

  2. Mercury sextile Venus

    about 1.3° at midday

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Malcolm'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.

  3. Saturn conjunction Neptune

    about 2.7° at midday

    Malcolm tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.

  4. Mercury sextile Saturn

    about 3.4° at midday

    Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Malcolm's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.

  5. Saturn sextile Pluto

    about 3.7° at midday

    No crisis is needed to bring out Malcolm's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.

  6. Venus conjunction Mars

    about 3.9° at midday

    With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Malcolm, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.

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.

  • Venus trine Saturnabout 4.6°
  • Sun trine Jupiterabout 4.9°
