Osama bin Laden’s birth chart
Born 10 March 1957, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Pisces Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Osama bin Laden’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Osama bin Laden was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 10 March 1957, a Sunday. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Gemini until about 10:45 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. They died on 2 May 2011, aged 54. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Water carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, earth two and air none. By modality the count is five mutable, four fixed and no cardinal. Sun, Mercury and Venus all fall in Pisces. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Venus: a conjunction, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 10 March, among them Chuck Norris, Sharon Stone and Sepp Blatter.
Osama bin Laden’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 19° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Osama bin Laden the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 10:45, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Osama bin Laden, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 10:45: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Osama bin Laden 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.
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 Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, at each hour of the day.
Osama bin Laden’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Osama bin Laden 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 10 March 1957, computed for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Osama bin Laden’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Osama bin Laden’s private life.
Sun in Pisces
19° Pisces 32' at midday
purpose and vitality
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Osama bin Laden's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 10:45, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 10:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Osama bin Laden is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 10:45: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Osama bin Laden'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.
Mercury in Pisces
10° Pisces 14' at midday
mind and voice
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Osama bin Laden is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Venus in Pisces
10° Pisces 37' at midday
love and values
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Osama bin Laden probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
Mars in Taurus
25° Taurus 16' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Osama bin Laden may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Virgo
27° Virgo 50' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Osama bin Laden, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Saturn in Sagittarius
14° Sagittarius 09' at midday
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Osama bin Laden is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
3° Leo 16' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Osama bin Laden shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
2° Scorpio 15' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Osama bin Laden shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Leo
28° Leo 43' 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 Osama bin Laden, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Osama bin Laden’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.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 0.4° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Osama bin Laden's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 2.6° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Osama bin Laden's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
Mars square Pluto
about 3.4° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Osama bin Laden's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Venus square Saturn
about 3.5° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Osama bin Laden 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.
Mercury square Saturn
about 3.9° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Osama bin Laden is willing to say out loud.
Sun square Saturn
about 5.4° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Osama bin Laden pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
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?
