Mike Leigh’s birth chart

Mike Leigh's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Pisces

   ♓ 0° Pisces 56'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and their vitality ebbs and flows with their surroundings. The tension is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. It shows up as the days they feel unstoppable and the days they need to disappear for a while.

2. ☽Moon in Virgo

   ♍ 3° Virgo 23'

   needs and habits

   Their habits run toward order, and a messy space or an unfinished list unsettles their mood more than most people would guess. Mike is calmed by small, useful tasks. The tension is turning self-care into another chore to get right instead of something they actually enjoy.

3. ☿Mercury in Aquarius

   ♒ 4° Aquarius 37'

   mind and voice

   Their thinking is original and a step removed from convention, and they communicate best through ideas rather than small talk. The tension is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has actually moved on. It shows up as being the person in the group who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.

4. ♀Venus in Pisces

   ♓ 23° Pisces 45'

   love and values

   They love without much guard, and they value emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The tension is idealising a partner before they have really seen them. It shows up as giving generously to relationships and struggling to notice when Mike is giving more than Mike is getting.

5. ♂Mars in Capricorn

   ♑ 18° Capricorn 03'

   drive and anger

   They act with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most people around they, and their anger is controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tension is going quiet and distant instead of saying what is actually wrong. It shows up as outworking a frustration rather than voicing it.

6. ♃Jupiter in Cancer

   ♋ 15° Cancer 48' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The overreach is overprotecting the people they love past the point they need it. It shows up as generosity that shows up as home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

7. ♄Saturn in Gemini

   ♊ 5° Gemini 46'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around expressing themselves clearly, often after early doubt about whether their ideas were good enough to say out loud. The doubt shows up as overpreparing before they will speak or write anything. It shows up as becoming, later in life, unusually precise and credible with words, once the early self-consciousness eases.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 0° Gemini 38'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 1° Libra 28' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 5° Leo 33' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Mike Leigh's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Saturn sextile Pluto

   0.2° separating

   Their discipline and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to real resilience without needing a crisis to earn it. Long, steady effort tends to pay off for they, in ways that compound quietly rather than arriving all at once.

2. Sun square Uranus

   0.3° separating

   Their identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people around they. The lesson is choosing their disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them for they.

3. Uranus trine Neptune

   0.8° applying

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation for whom innovation and imagination move easily together. Personally, it can show up as ideas that combine new technology with real inspiration.

4. Mercury opposition Pluto

   0.9° applying

   They feel a pull between their own conclusions and other people's attempts to control the narrative, which can turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the actual argument, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
