Maureen O'Hara’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Maureen O'Hara was born in Ranelagh, Ireland, on 17 August 1920, a Tuesday. That made Maureen a Leo, with the Moon in Libra. Maureen died on 24 October 2015, aged 95. No verified birth time is on file for Maureen; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, three in water, two in earth and one in air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, five and three. Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune all fall in Leo. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Pluto: a sextile, about 1.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

Maureen O'Hara’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 24° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Maureen O'Hara 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
Libra
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Maureen, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Ranelagh, Ireland, at each hour of the day.

Maureen O'Hara’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Maureen O'Hara’s private life.
Purpose for Maureen O'Hara 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.
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Maureen's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Mercury in Leo gives Maureen 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 Maureen more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Venus in Virgo, Maureen is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
In Maureen's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Leo
27° Leo 52' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Maureen the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Maureen 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.
Uranus in Pisces
4° Pisces 04' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Maureen 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.
Neptune in Leo
11° Leo 46' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Maureen 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.
Pluto in Cancer
8° Cancer 23' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Maureen 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 Maureen O'Hara’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 Pluto
about 1.9° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Maureen O'Hara's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Venus opposition Uranus
about 2.4° at midday
Maureen may want intimacy and still feel a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things seem too certain; that is the tension of Venus opposite Uranus. Naming the need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
Maureen's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 3.9° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Maureen'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 square Mars
about 5.4° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Maureen's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 5.8° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Maureen is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
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?
