Om Puri’s birth chart
Born 18 October 1949, in Ambala, India. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Libra Sun · Moon in Leo or Virgo
Om Puri’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Om Puri was born in Ambala, India, on 18 October 1949, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Libra, so Libra was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Leo until about 05:15 and in Virgo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Om died on 6 January 2017, aged 67. No verified birth time is on file for Om; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in air, two in earth and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, two and two. Three planets stand together in Libra: Sun, Mercury and Neptune. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Sun and Mars, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 18 October, among them Chuck Berry, Martina Navratilova and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
Om Puri’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 24° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Om Puri'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
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 05:15, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 05:15: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Om up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 05:15: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Om 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.
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 Ambala, India, at each hour of the day.
Om Puri’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Om 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 18 October 1949, computed for Ambala, India.

Om Puri’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Om Puri’s private life.
Sun in Libra
24° Libra 32' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Om Puri'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.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 05:15, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 05:15: 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 Om faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Om did.
Born after about 05:15: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Om's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Om's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Libra
6° Libra 27' at midday
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Om 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
8° Sagittarius 57' at midday
love and values
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Om 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 Leo
24° Leo 57' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Om its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Capricorn
23° Capricorn 42' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Om would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Virgo
15° Virgo 04' at midday
discipline and doubt
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Om 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.
Uranus in Cancer
4° Cancer 59' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Om 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.
Neptune in Libra
15° Libra 16' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Om 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.
Pluto in Leo
17° Leo 57' 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 Om, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Om Puri’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.
Sun sextile Mars
about 0.4° at midday
Om Puri's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Sun square Jupiter
about 0.8° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Om may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mercury square Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Om may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.5° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Om's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Venus square Saturn
about 6.1° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Om that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 7.0° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Om is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.
