Matthew Bingley’s birth chart

Leo Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Matthew Bingley’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 August 1971 was a Monday: the day Matthew Bingley was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Their zodiac sign is Leo. The Moon was in Gemini until about 19:50 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Matthew turns 55 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, two earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, four mutable and one cardinal. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Jupiter and Pluto, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Mercury and Mars. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 16 August, among them Madonna, James Cameron and Charles Bukowski.

Matthew Bingley’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 22° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Matthew Bingley 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.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 19:50, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 19:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Matthew, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 19:50: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Matthew 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.
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 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, at each hour of the day.
Matthew Bingley’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Matthew 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 16 August 1971, computed for Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

Matthew Bingley’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Matthew Bingley’s private life.
Purpose for Matthew Bingley 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.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 19:50, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 19:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Matthew is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 19:50: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Matthew'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.
For Matthew, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Matthew, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Matthew can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 20' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Matthew, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
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 Matthew 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 Libra
10° Libra 54' at midday
freedom, generational
Matthew holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
0° Sagittarius 18' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Matthew in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
28° Virgo 11' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Matthew and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Matthew Bingley’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.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 0.8° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Matthew Bingley's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune
about 3.0° at midday
For Matthew, growth is likely to be idealistic and compassionate, a matter of causes, beliefs or visions bigger than daily concerns. Jupiter conjunct Neptune supplies the inspiration and leaves them the job of checking a beautiful idea against what can be achieved.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 3.2° at midday
Who Matthew is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Venus opposition Mars
about 3.9° at midday
Venus opposite Mars sets what Matthew wants for themselves against what keeps a relationship harmonious, most of all around desire and assertiveness. Naming a want plainly, instead of swallowing it or forcing it, tends to serve both sides.
Mercury square Saturn
about 4.6° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Matthew is willing to say out loud.
Mars trine Uranus
about 4.6° at midday
Matthew's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
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.
