MS Dhoni’s birth chart
Born 7 July 1981, in Ranchi, India. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Cancer Sun · Moon in Virgo or Libra
MS Dhoni’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
7 July 1981 was a Tuesday: the day MS Dhoni was born in Ranchi, India. Their zodiac sign is Cancer. The Moon was in Virgo until about 23:10 and in Libra afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. They turn 45 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Air carries the most weight: five of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, water two and earth none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and three. Three planets stand together in Libra: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Neptune: an opposition, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Uranus and Neptune. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 7 July, among them Robert A. Heinlein, Vittorio De Sica and Shelley Duvall.

MS Dhoni’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 15° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For MS Dhoni, 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
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 23:10, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 23:10: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, MS Dhoni is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Born after about 23:10: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle MS Dhoni, 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 Ranchi, India, at each hour of the day.
MS Dhoni’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for MS Dhoni yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 7 July 1981, computed for Ranchi, India.

MS Dhoni’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about MS Dhoni’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, MS Dhoni 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.

Virgo until about 23:10, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 23:10: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle MS Dhoni's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when MS Dhoni's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 23:10: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off MS Dhoni'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.
MS Dhoni'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.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For MS Dhoni, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
With Mars in Gemini, MS Dhoni 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.
Jupiter in Libra
2° Libra 46' at midday
growth and excess
In MS Dhoni'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.
For MS Dhoni, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 22' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Much of MS Dhoni's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
22° Sagittarius 53' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to MS Dhoni in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
21° Libra 32' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation MS Dhoni belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in MS Dhoni’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.
Mars opposition Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
MS Dhoni may find direct action pulling one way and, the other way, a tendency to lose momentum in doubt or in an unclear picture of what is wanted. Getting specific about the goal, even roughly, tends to restore the energy that vagueness drains.
Mars trine Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
Resilience under pressure, and the ability to come back stronger from a setback, are the marks of this trine between drive and the capacity for change. In MS Dhoni's chart the aspect points to a quiet, formidable strength, the kind other people notice mainly in how little it seems to cost.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so MS Dhoni's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Mercury opposition Neptune
about 4.0° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Neptune, clear thinking competes with the lure of an appealing story or a hopeful assumption. Checking conclusions against plain evidence keeps MS Dhoni on firm ground, without asking them to give up the imagination that makes their thinking interesting in the first place.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 4.5° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes MS Dhoni quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 5.4° at midday
MS Dhoni's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and MS Dhoni can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
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?
