Nico’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

16 October 1938 was a Sunday: the day Nico was born in Cologne, Germany. Their zodiac sign was Libra. The Moon changed sign at about 23:20, from Cancer to Leo; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Nico died on 18 July 1988, aged 49. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

By element the count is three fire, three earth, three air and no water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, three and three. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Jupiter: a trine, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. The Moon was at its last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 16 October, among them Günter Grass, Naomi Osaka and Loreen. Wikidata links Nico with two people in the dataset: Alain Delon (listed as partners in 1961) and Brian Jones (listed as partners in 1965).

Nico’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Libra

about 22° Libra at midday

A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Nico's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.

Moon sign

Cancer or Leo

Cancer until about 23:20, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 23:20: Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Nico 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.

Born after about 23:20: Moon in Leo

A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Nico up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.

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 Cologne, Germany, at each hour of the day.

Nico’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Nico 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 16 October 1938, computed for Cologne, Germany.

Nico’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Nico’s private life.

  1. Sun in Libra

    22° Libra 25' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Libra, Nico's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.

  2. Moon in Cancer or Leo

    Cancer until about 23:20, then Leo

    needs and habits

    Born before about 23:20: Moon in Cancer

    With the Moon in Cancer, Nico'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.

    Born after about 23:20: Moon in Leo

    A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Nico faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Nico did.

  3. Mercury in Libra

    26° Libra 35' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Nico tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius

    1° Sagittarius 20' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Nico probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    24° Virgo 26' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Nico is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    22° Aquarius 24' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Nico 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.

  7. Saturn in Aries

    13° Aries 58' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Nico, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.

  8. Uranus in Taurus

    16° Taurus 44' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Nico shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    22° Virgo 01' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune moves slowly, so Nico shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    1° Leo 26' 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 Nico, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Nico’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.

  1. Sun trine Jupiter

    about 0.0° at midday

    With the Sun trine Jupiter, Nico's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.

  2. Venus trine Pluto

    about 0.1° at midday

    With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Nico's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.

  3. Mars conjunction Neptune

    about 2.4° at midday

    Drive is idealistic and imaginative where Mars meets Neptune, and Nico is likely to act most powerfully in the service of something they believe in. The energy is inspired. What it wants is a big vision grounded in a plan specific enough to carry out.

  4. Sun conjunction Mercury

    about 4.2° at midday

    With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Nico's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.

  5. Mercury trine Jupiter

    about 4.2° at midday

    Nico's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.

  6. Mercury square Pluto

    about 4.9° at midday

    A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Nico looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.

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.

  • Jupiter square Uranusabout 5.7°
  • Sun opposition Saturnabout 8.4°

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?
