Patrick Swayze’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Patrick Swayze was born on Monday, 18 August 1952, in Houston, Texas. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Cancer until about 02:20 and in Leo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Patrick died on 14 September 2009, aged 57. 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 three and mutable signs one. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Mars: a square, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Mercury. The Moon was a waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 18 August, among them Roman Polanski, Robert Redford and Edward Norton.

Patrick Swayze’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

about 25° Leo at midday

A Leo Sun shines. For Patrick Swayze that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.

All Leo Suns

Moon sign

Cancer or Leo

Cancer until about 02:20, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 02:20: Moon in Cancer

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Patrick 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 02:20: Moon in Leo

A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Patrick 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 Houston, Texas, at each hour of the day.

Patrick Swayze’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Patrick 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 August 1952, computed for Houston, Texas.

Patrick Swayze’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Patrick Swayze’s private life.

  1. Sun in Leo

    25° Leo 39' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Patrick Swayze is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.

  2. Moon in Cancer or Leo

    Cancer until about 02:20, then Leo

    needs and habits

    Born before about 02:20: Moon in Cancer

    With the Moon in Cancer, Patrick'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 02:20: 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 Patrick faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Patrick did.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    15° Leo 51' at midday ℞

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Leo gives Patrick a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Patrick more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    10° Virgo 44' at midday

    love and values

    With Venus in Virgo, Patrick is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

    24° Scorpio 43' at midday

    drive and anger

    In Patrick's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus

    20° Taurus 11' at midday

    growth and excess

    In Patrick's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    11° Libra 51' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    For Patrick, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    16° Cancer 41' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Patrick 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.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    19° Libra 33' at midday

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Patrick 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    21° Leo 20' 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 Patrick, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Patrick Swayze’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.

  1. Sun square Mars

    about 0.9° at midday

    Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Patrick Swayze'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.

  2. Jupiter square Pluto

    about 1.1° at midday

    Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Patrick's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.

  3. Mars square Pluto

    about 3.4° at midday

    With Mars square Pluto, Patrick'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.

  4. Jupiter sextile Uranus

    about 3.5° at midday

    This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Patrick can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.

  5. Mercury sextile Neptune

    about 3.7° at midday

    Patrick's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.

  6. Mercury sextile Saturn

    about 4.0° at midday

    Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Patrick's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.

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?
