Paolo Rossi’s birth chart
Born 23 September 1956, in Prato, Italy. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Virgo or Libra · Taurus Moon
Paolo Rossi’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Paolo Rossi was born in Prato, Italy, on 23 September 1956, a Sunday. The Sun moved from Virgo into Libra at about 02:35 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Virgo for a birth before then, Libra after. The Moon was in Taurus all day. Paolo died on 9 December 2020, aged 64. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, two in earth, two in air and two in water. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs two and mutable signs two. Venus, Uranus and Pluto all fall in Leo. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune and Pluto, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury and Mars were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 23 September, among them Bruce Springsteen, Ray Charles and Julio Iglesias.

Paolo Rossi’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 02:35, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:35: Sun in Virgo
A Virgo Sun refines. Paolo Rossi is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Born after about 02:35: Sun in Libra
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Paolo'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
Taurus
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Paolo, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Prato, Italy, at each hour of the day.
Paolo Rossi’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Paolo 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 23 September 1956, computed for Prato, Italy.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 23 September 1956, 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 Virgo into Libra at about 02:35, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Paolo Rossi’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Paolo Rossi’s private life.
Sun in Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 02:35, then Libra
purpose and vitality
Born before about 02:35: Sun in Virgo
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Paolo Rossi's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
Born after about 02:35: Sun in Libra
With the Sun in Libra, Paolo'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.
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Paolo more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Paolo 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 Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Paolo, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
With Mars in Pisces, Paolo is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Jupiter in Virgo
16° Virgo 08' 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 Paolo, 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 Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Paolo letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Leo
5° Leo 53' at midday
freedom, generational
Paolo 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 Libra
29° Libra 03' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Paolo 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
29° Leo 19' 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 Paolo, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Paolo Rossi’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.
Saturn square Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Paolo Rossi 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.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Paolo, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 1.1° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Paolo's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Paolo's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Paolo rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 5.5° at midday
There is room for Paolo to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 6.4° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Paolo's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
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?
