Marcus Berg’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

17 August 1986 was a Sunday: the day Marcus Berg was born in Torsby, Sweden. That makes Marcus a Leo, with the Moon in Capricorn. Marcus turns 40 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Marcus, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against earth three, water two and air one. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Moon, Mars and Neptune. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 1.6° 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: Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.

StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 17 August, among them Robert De Niro, Thierry Henry and Sean Penn.

Marcus Berg’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

about 24° Leo at midday

A Leo Sun shines. For Marcus Berg 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.

All Leo Suns

Moon sign

Capricorn

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Marcus may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.

Marcus Berg’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Leo

    24° Leo 12' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Marcus Berg 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.

  2. Moon in Capricorn

    Capricorn, all day

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Capricorn, Marcus's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    6° Leo 50' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Leo gives Marcus a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Marcus more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.

  4. Venus in Libra

    9° Libra 57' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Marcus 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. Marcus may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.

  5. Mars in Capricorn

    11° Capricorn 35' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Marcus'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.

  6. Jupiter in Pisces

    20° Pisces 52' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    For Marcus, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.

  7. Saturn in Sagittarius

    3° Sagittarius 08' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Marcus is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.

  8. Uranus in Sagittarius

    18° Sagittarius 24' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Marcus than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    3° Capricorn 14' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Marcus and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio

    4° Scorpio 50' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Marcus's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.

Aspects in Marcus Berg’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. Venus square Mars

    about 1.6° at midday

    Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and Marcus Berg may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.

  2. Mercury square Pluto

    about 2.0° at midday

    A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Marcus looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.

  3. Jupiter square Uranus

    about 2.5° at midday

    An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives Marcus is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.

  4. Mercury sextile Venus

    about 3.1° at midday

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Marcus'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.

  5. Mercury trine Saturn

    about 3.7° at midday

    Marcus's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.

  6. Sun trine Uranus

    about 5.8° at midday

    Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Marcus's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.

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.

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?
