Margaret Court’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Margaret Court was born on Thursday, 16 July 1942, in Albury, New South Wales, Australia. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Leo. Margaret turns 84 in 2026. 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 fire, three air, three water and one earth. By modality the count is four mutable, three cardinal and three fixed. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Moon, Mars and Pluto all fall in Leo. Three planets stand together in Gemini: Venus, Saturn and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Mars: a sextile, about 1.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 16 July, among them Larry Sanger, Gareth Bale and Barbara Stanwyck.

Margaret Court’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 22° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Margaret Court, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Margaret 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 Albury, New South Wales, Australia, at each hour of the day.
Margaret Court’s rising sign, by birth time

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 16 July 1942, computed for Albury, New South Wales, Australia.

Margaret Court’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Margaret Court’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Margaret Court is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Margaret faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Margaret did.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Margaret probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Margaret probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Margaret 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 Cancer
8° Cancer 05' at midday
growth and excess
For Margaret, 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 Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Margaret that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Gemini
3° Gemini 19' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Margaret and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Virgo
27° Virgo 28' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Margaret shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
4° Leo 59' 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 Margaret, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Margaret Court’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 Mars
about 1.6° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Margaret Court 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 Jupiter
about 3.2° at midday
Margaret's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 3.4° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Margaret'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.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 4.6° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Margaret makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
about 5.1° at midday
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Margaret tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.
Venus square Neptune
about 6.0° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Margaret's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
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?
