Oscar Pistorius’s birth chart
Born 22 November 1986, in Sandton, South Africa. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Scorpio or Sagittarius · Moon in Cancer or Leo
Oscar Pistorius’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Oscar Pistorius was born in Sandton, South Africa, on 22 November 1986, a Saturday. The Sun moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at about 16:45 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Scorpio for a birth before then, Sagittarius after. The Moon was in Cancer until about 03:25 and in Leo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. They turn 40 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four water, two fire, one earth and one air, leaving out the Sun and the Moon, whose signs depend on the birth time. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs three and cardinal signs one. Three planets stand together in Scorpio: Mercury, Venus and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Jupiter: a trine, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Venus was retrograde. Mercury changed direction that day, turning direct, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 25 other people born on 22 November, among them Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Terry Gilliam.
Oscar Pistorius’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 16:45, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 16:45: Sun in Scorpio
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Oscar Pistorius, 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.
Born after about 16:45: Sun in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Oscar Pistorius forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 03:25, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 03:25: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Oscar Pistorius 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 03:25: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Oscar Pistorius 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 Sandton, South Africa, at each hour of the day.
Oscar Pistorius’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Oscar Pistorius 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 22 November 1986, computed for Sandton, South Africa.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 22 November 1986, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at about 16:45, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Oscar Pistorius’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Oscar Pistorius’s private life.
Sun in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 16:45, then Sagittarius
purpose and vitality
Born before about 16:45: Sun in Scorpio
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Oscar Pistorius'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.
Born after about 16:45: Sun in Sagittarius
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Oscar Pistorius's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
Moon in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 03:25, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 03:25: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Oscar Pistorius'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 03:25: 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 Oscar Pistorius faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Oscar Pistorius did.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Oscar Pistorius tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Oscar Pistorius is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Oscar Pistorius 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 Pisces
13° Pisces 18' at midday
growth and excess
For Oscar Pistorius, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
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, Oscar Pistorius 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 Sagittarius
21° Sagittarius 13' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Oscar Pistorius than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Capricorn
4° Capricorn 14' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Oscar Pistorius and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
8° Scorpio 11' at midday
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Oscar Pistorius's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Oscar Pistorius’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 trine Jupiter
about 0.2° at midday
Oscar Pistorius'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.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 0.9° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Oscar Pistorius, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Sun square Mars
about 2.3° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Oscar Pistorius's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 2.5° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Oscar Pistorius it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Oscar Pistorius is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Mercury conjunction Pluto
about 4.9° at midday
Oscar Pistorius's thinking is likely to be probing and intense, drawn to what lies underneath a surface explanation. With Mercury conjunct Pluto, getting to the bottom of things comes naturally, and the caution is not to assume a hidden motive where an ordinary one will do.
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.
