Otis Redding’s birth chart

Otis Redding's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Virgo

   ♍ 16° Virgo 33'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and their energy is steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. The tension is feeling like they have not earned rest until everything is fixed. It shows up in the way they keep tweaking something long after everyone else would call it finished.

2. ☽Moon in Taurus

   ♉ 1° Taurus 13'

   needs and habits

   They need routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. Sudden schedule changes unsettle they more than they let on. It shows up in how much a good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

3. ☿Mercury in Libra

   ♎ 4° Libra 14'

   mind and voice

   They think by weighing both sides, and they communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. The tension is taking so long to land on an opinion that the moment for it passes. It shows up as genuinely changing their mind mid conversation because the other point had merit.

4. ♀Venus in Libra

   ♎ 23° Libra 28'

   love and values

   They love with an instinct for balance and partnership, and they value harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The tension is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. It shows up as compromising on their own preference before anyone has even asked they to.

5. ♂Mars in Aries

   ♈ 23° Aries 39' ℞

   drive and anger

   They act immediately and decisively, and their anger flares fast, hot and honest before it clears. The tension is acting before they have thought a situation all the way through. It shows up as starting the argument or the project the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.

6. ♃Jupiter in Gemini

   ♊ 19° Gemini 56'

   growth and excess

   They grow through learning and exposure to as many ideas as they can gather, and their optimism is contagious in conversation. The overreach is knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. It shows up as being the most well-read person in the room on subjects they have never actually studied closely.

7. ♄Saturn in Taurus

   ♉ 28° Taurus 32'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around financial and material security, often after a period of real scarcity or instability that taught they to take nothing for granted. The doubt shows up as a fear that stability could disappear even once it clearly has not. It shows up as a caution around spending that outlasts the circumstances that first caused it.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 0° Gemini 20' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Virgo

   ♍ 27° Virgo 01'

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people whose collective imagination turns toward healing, service and idealised routines of self-improvement. Personally, it can show up as chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 5° Leo 04'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Otis Redding's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Venus opposition Mars

   0.2° applying

   They feel a pull between what they want for themselves and what keeps a relationship harmonious, especially around desire and assertiveness. Naming a want plainly, rather than either suppressing it or forcing it, tends to serve both sides.

2. Mercury sextile Pluto

   0.8° applying

   Their thinking and their depth cooperate, giving they useful access to insight without unnecessary intensity. They notice what others miss, without much extra effort, which makes they a genuinely useful person to have in a hard conversation.

3. Saturn trine Neptune

   1.5° applying

   Their discipline and their imagination support each other, letting they build something both beautiful and structurally sound. Vision and follow-through tend to arrive together for they, in a combination that is genuinely rare and worth trusting.

4. Saturn conjunction Uranus

   1.8° applying

   Their sense of discipline and their need for independence are fused, so they tend to build structure their own way rather than inheriting someone else's. This makes they a genuinely original builder, and the edge is letting a good structure stay flexible instead of hardening into another rule.
