Norodom Sihanouk’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
31 October 1922 was a Tuesday: the day Norodom Sihanouk was born in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Their zodiac sign was Scorpio, with the Moon in Pisces. They died on 15 October 2012, aged 89. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, five are in water signs, two in fire and two in air; none is in earth. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. The tightest aspect is Venus square Uranus, 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 Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 31 October, among them Peter Jackson, Marco van Basten and Michael Collins. Barbara Bel Geddes was born on the very same day.

Norodom Sihanouk’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
about 6° Scorpio at midday
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Norodom Sihanouk, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Norodom Sihanouk may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Phnom Penh, Cambodia, at each hour of the day.
Norodom Sihanouk’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Norodom Sihanouk 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 31 October 1922, computed for Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Norodom Sihanouk’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Norodom Sihanouk’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Norodom Sihanouk's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Norodom Sihanouk more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Norodom Sihanouk 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.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Norodom Sihanouk 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.
Mars in Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 01:55, then Aquarius
drive and anger
Born before about 01:55: Mars in Capricorn
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Norodom Sihanouk's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Born after about 01:55: Mars in Aquarius
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Norodom Sihanouk can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Scorpio
0° Scorpio 57' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Norodom Sihanouk, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
For Norodom Sihanouk, 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 Pisces
9° Pisces 50' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Norodom Sihanouk has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
18° Leo 03' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Norodom Sihanouk alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
11° Cancer 09' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Norodom Sihanouk to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Norodom Sihanouk’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.
Venus square Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
In Norodom Sihanouk's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
Norodom Sihanouk'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.
Mars square Jupiter
about 0.7° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Norodom Sihanouk may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Saturn square Pluto
about 2.7° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Norodom Sihanouk 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.
Sun trine Uranus
about 2.8° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Norodom Sihanouk's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Sun trine Pluto
about 4.2° at midday
Norodom Sihanouk's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
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?
