Matthew Perry’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

26° Leo 11'

A Leo Sun shines. For Matthew Perry 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

Scorpio

7° Scorpio 39'

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Matthew 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

Leo

10° Leo 37'

Leo rising comes across as warm and impossible to miss. People assume confidence whether or not it is felt, and Matthew's presence can change the temperature of a room.

Matthew Perry’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Matthew Perry’s private life.

  1. Sun in Leo

    26° Leo 11' · first house

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Matthew Perry 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.

    The Sun in the first house puts Matthew's identity centre stage, and being seen probably matters more to them than they let on. In a new setting they lead with personality and let people discover the rest later.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    7° Scorpio 39' · fourth house

    needs and habits

    For Matthew, 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.

    For Matthew, the Moon in the fourth house can make home the place where emotions live, and the placement is associated with unusual sensitivity to the mood of a household. A settled home probably steadies almost everything else, while chaos there can unsettle them quickly.

  3. Mercury in Virgo

    19° Virgo 27' · second house

    mind and voice

    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.

    With Mercury in the second house, Matthew weighs up what things are worth with care and holds clear, well-reasoned opinions about value that they can explain in detail. Talking a choice or a plan through out loud helps them settle on the right one.

  4. Venus in Cancer

    18° Cancer 33' · twelfth house

    love and values

    Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Matthew that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.

    Venus in the twelfth house keeps affections private and sometimes idealised, and Matthew may feel more deeply than they show to most people. The placement values quiet acts of devotion, done without an audience, over public displays or grand romantic gestures.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius

    12° Sagittarius 13' · fifth house

    drive and anger

    Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Matthew may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

    With Mars in the fifth house, Matthew is apt to go after what excites them without much hesitation, and creative and romantic pursuits can carry intensity. The placement brings competition and passion alive in this part of life, and is rarely satisfied by a half-hearted effort.

  6. Jupiter in Libra

    5° Libra 44' · third house

    growth and excess

    In Matthew's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

    With Jupiter in the third house, Matthew is curious by nature and enjoys learning new things, and their ideas spread easily, shared with contagious enthusiasm. Teaching suits them well, and they rarely hoard what they know for its own sake.

  7. Saturn in Taurus

    8° Taurus 56' · tenth house

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Matthew is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.

    Saturn in the tenth house is associated with taking the long road in working life, and Matthew is inclined to trust sustained effort over shortcuts. Saturn here goes with a reliability that shows long before any confidence in their own standing among their peers.

  8. Uranus in Libra

    2° Libra 02' · third house

    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.

    Uranus in the third house works in sudden leaps rather than tidy steps, and Matthew often says the thing nobody expected, in exactly the way nobody expected. New ideas excite them far more than familiar ones, and hearing the same thought twice bores them fast.

  9. Neptune in Scorpio

    25° Scorpio 58' · fourth house

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Matthew shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.

    Matthew is likely to be sensitive to the underlying mood of a household in ways that other people in the same room often miss. With Neptune in the fourth house, home can take on an idealised or slightly hazy quality, and the sense of family is apt to be more emotional than literal.

  10. Pluto in Virgo

    23° Virgo 52' · second house

    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.

    Pluto in the second house means Matthew holds their values with intensity; the placement is associated with rebuilding a sense of what matters from the ground up. Security comes from the inside for them and not from anything they own, and what they value they value completely.

Aspects in Matthew Perry’s chart

How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.

  1. Sun square Neptune

    0.2° separating

    A Sun-Neptune square can blur Matthew Perry's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.

  2. Mercury sextile Venus

    0.9° separating

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Matthew'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.

  3. Moon opposition Saturn

    1.3° applying

    Under the Moon opposite Saturn, the wish for emotional closeness comes with a wariness that can keep Matthew guarded, even with people who have shown they can be trusted. Letting the guard down gradually, rather than all at once, tends to work better than either extreme.

  4. Jupiter conjunction Uranus

    3.7° separating

    Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Matthew is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.

  5. Mercury conjunction Pluto

    4.4° applying

    Matthew's thinking is likely to be probing and intense, drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. With Mercury conjunct Pluto, getting to the bottom of things comes naturally, and the caution is not to assume a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.

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.
