Meryl Streep’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
22 June 1949 was a Wednesday: the day Meryl Streep was born in Summit, New Jersey. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Taurus and Leo rising. Meryl turns 77 in 2026. The birth time, 08:05, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was taken from a birth certificate or birth record.
By element the count is four air, three water, two earth and one fire. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. Sun, Venus and Uranus all fall in Cancer. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Uranus, exact to a tenth of a degree. Jupiter and Neptune were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.

Meryl Streep’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
0° Cancer 43'
A Cancer Sun protects. For Meryl Streep, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Taurus
14° Taurus 23'
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Meryl, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Rising sign
Leo
2° Leo 44'
Leo rising comes across as warm and impossible to miss. People assume confidence whether or not it is felt, and Meryl's presence can change the temperature of a room.

Meryl Streep’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Meryl Streep’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Meryl Streep is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
The Sun in the eleventh house means Meryl finds themselves through friendships and the causes they throw their weight behind, more than through solitary achievement. Meryl is at their best inside a group with a shared purpose, and being cut off from that kind of company can dim their spark.
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Meryl more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
With the Moon in the tenth house, Meryl's emotional security may be tangled up with how work is going and whether it is respected. A setback at work can land harder on someone with this placement than it appears to from the outside.
Meryl's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Mercury in the eleventh house means Meryl thinks in terms of the whole group, coming up with ideas for the causes and communities they care about rather than only for themselves. Brainstorming with friends, informally and without pressure, is probably where much of Meryl's best thinking happens.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Meryl 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 Meryl 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Meryl is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Mars in the eleventh house puts energy into friendships and causes, and Meryl is often the one who gets a whole group moving. Friction in a group probably does not scare them off, and they would rather push through a disagreement than step around it.
Jupiter in Aquarius
0° Aquarius 31' ℞ · sixth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Meryl may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Meryl finds meaning in routines that others would call dull, and brings optimism to work every day. With Jupiter in the sixth house, growth comes by steady, patient improvement rather than by one dramatic leap.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Meryl 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.
With Saturn in the second house, Meryl takes what they own and what they value seriously, and a person with this placement can be more anxious about having enough than the situation calls for. Security, for them, comes from building something slowly and seeing exactly what it rests on.
Uranus in Cancer
0° Cancer 44' · eleventh house
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Meryl alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Uranus in the eleventh house gathers an unusual, wide-ranging group of friends around Meryl, who feels most alive contributing to causes that set out to change something. Belonging matters to them, but strictly on their own terms, and they resist any group that asks them to blend in.
Neptune in Libra
12° Libra 23' ℞ · third house
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Meryl 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.
With Neptune in the third house, a poetic, sometimes imprecise quality runs through Meryl's thoughts and words, which carry as much through feeling and tone as through plain fact. Creative or intuitive expression suits this mind better than rigid logic, especially when the subject matters.
Pluto in Leo
14° Leo 51' · first house
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 Meryl, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Meryl probably carries an intensity that people sense even when very little is said, and Pluto in the first house suggests a sense of self that can be remade more than once. Meryl is not easily changed by outside pressure, and other people tend to notice that quickly.
Aspects in Meryl Streep’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun conjunction Uranus
0.0° separating
Independence is central to Meryl Streep's identity with the Sun conjunct Uranus, along with a resistance to being defined by anyone else's idea of them. It makes them original and hard to predict, and the catch is a restlessness with routines that could serve them well.
Moon square Pluto
0.5° applying
Control can creep into emotional life when the Moon is square Pluto, which may mean testing people's loyalty or holding on to old hurts longer than is useful. Whenever Meryl releases rather than grips, this intensity becomes a strength instead of a weight.
Saturn sextile Uranus
0.8° separating
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Meryl a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Sun sextile Saturn
0.9° applying
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Meryl rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Mercury conjunction Mars
1.5° applying
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Meryl quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Mercury trine Neptune
2.1° applying
Meryl probably has a natural gift for metaphor, storytelling and intuitive leaps, the work of thinking and imagination in easy partnership. With Mercury trine Neptune, communicating something hard to put into words comes easily, in a way that other people often find memorable.
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.
