Mario Lanza’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Mario Lanza was born on Monday, 31 January 1921, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their zodiac sign was Aquarius, with the Moon in Scorpio. Mario died on 7 October 1959, aged 38. StarMap has no verified birth time for Mario, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Water carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against earth two, air two and fire one. Mutable signs hold five, fixed signs four and cardinal signs one. Venus, Mars and Uranus all fall in Pisces. The tightest aspect is Sun opposition Neptune, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 31 January, among them Justin Timberlake, Kenzaburō Ōe and Norman Mailer. Carol Channing was born on the very same day.

Mario Lanza’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Aquarius

about 11° Aquarius at midday

An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Mario Lanza's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.

All Aquarius Suns

Moon sign

Scorpio

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

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Mario that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.

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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.

Mario Lanza’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Mario 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 31 January 1921, computed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Mario Lanza’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Aquarius

    11° Aquarius 18' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Mario Lanza's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    Scorpio, all day

    needs and habits

    For Mario, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.

  3. Mercury in Aquarius

    21° Aquarius 49' at midday

    mind and voice

    In Mario's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.

  4. Venus in Pisces

    27° Pisces 48' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Mario 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

    20° Pisces 24' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Pisces, Mario 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 Virgo

    17° Virgo 41' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Mario, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.

  7. Saturn in Virgo

    24° Virgo 08' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Mario 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.

  8. Uranus in Pisces

    4° Pisces 16' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Mario has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.

  9. Neptune in Leo

    12° Leo 24' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Mario alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    7° Cancer 14' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Mario to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects in Mario Lanza’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 Neptune

    about 1.1° at midday

    For Mario Lanza, a clear, grounded sense of self sits on one side, and on the other a habit of idealising people or situations past what they can deliver. With this aspect, holding compassion and clear sight together resolves more than choosing one over the other.

  2. Mars opposition Jupiter

    about 2.7° at midday

    Mars opposite Jupiter pits Mario's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Mario's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.

  3. Venus opposition Saturn

    about 3.7° at midday

    The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Mario, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.

  4. Mars opposition Saturn

    about 3.7° at midday

    Mars opposite Saturn can set Mario's wish to act against a fear of being blocked or criticised for it, and the result may be frustration with anything that slows them down. Working steadily around an obstacle usually gets further than fighting it head on.

  5. Jupiter conjunction Saturn

    about 6.4° at midday

    Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Mario's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.

  6. Venus conjunction Mars

    about 7.4° at midday

    With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Mario, 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.

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.
