Manny Pacquiao’s birth chart
Born 17 December 1978, in Kibawe, Philippines. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sagittarius Sun · Moon in Cancer or Leo
Manny Pacquiao’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
17 December 1978 was a Sunday: the day Manny Pacquiao was born in Kibawe, Philippines. That makes Manny a Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 23:35, from Cancer to Leo; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Manny turns 48 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Manny, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against earth two, water two and air one. By modality the count is four mutable, three fixed and two cardinal. Sun, Mercury and Neptune all fall in Sagittarius. The tightest aspect is Venus sextile Saturn, about 0.5° 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: Jupiter. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 17 December, among them Pope Francis, Milla Jovovich and Giovanni Ribisi.

Manny Pacquiao’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 24° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Manny Pacquiao forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 23:35, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 23:35: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Manny 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.
Born after about 23:35: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Manny up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Kibawe, Philippines, at each hour of the day.
Manny Pacquiao’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Manny 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 17 December 1978, computed for Kibawe, Philippines.

Manny Pacquiao’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Manny Pacquiao’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Manny Pacquiao'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.
Moon in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 23:35, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 23:35: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Manny'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.
Born after about 23:35: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Manny faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Manny did.
Manny'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.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Manny 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.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Manny's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Leo
8° Leo 18' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Manny 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.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Manny may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
18° Scorpio 57' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Manny's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
18° Sagittarius 16' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Manny in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
18° Libra 50' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Manny belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Manny Pacquiao’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 Saturn
about 0.5° at midday
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Manny Pacquiao's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Manny decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 2.8° at midday
Manny's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Saturn square Neptune
about 4.4° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Manny that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
Venus square Jupiter
about 5.1° at midday
Under this square, Manny's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Venus conjunction Uranus
about 5.5° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Manny is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from it.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 6.6° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Manny's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
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?
