Meg Whitman’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Meg Whitman was born on Saturday, 4 August 1956, in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Cancer. Meg turns 70 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Meg; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, three in water, one in earth and one in air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, five and two. Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto all fall in Leo. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune and Pluto, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.

Sun sign
Leo
about 12° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Meg Whitman 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
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Meg 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.

Meg Whitman’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Meg Whitman’s private life.
Purpose for Meg Whitman 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.
With the Moon in Cancer, Meg'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.
Mercury in Leo gives Meg 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 Meg more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 05:50, then Cancer
love and values
Born before about 05:50: Venus in Gemini
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. Meg 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.
Born after about 05:50: Venus in Cancer
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Meg 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.
With Mars in Pisces, Meg 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.
Jupiter in Virgo
5° Virgo 27' 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 Meg, 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.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Meg letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Leo
3° Leo 14' at midday
freedom, generational
Meg shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Libra
27° Libra 49' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Meg among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
27° Leo 45' 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 Meg, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Meg Whitman’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.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 0.2° at midday
Meg Whitman's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Mercury conjunction Pluto
about 0.3° at midday
Meg'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.
Saturn square Pluto
about 1.6° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Meg may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Mercury square Saturn
about 1.9° 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 Meg is willing to say out loud.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.1° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Meg'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.
Venus trine Neptune
about 2.3° at midday
Meg is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
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.

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?
