Paul Scholes’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Paul Scholes was born on Saturday, 16 November 1974, in Salford, England. That makes Paul a Scorpio, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Paul turns 52 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Paul, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Water carries the most weight: six of the ten planets, against fire two, air two and earth none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, four and three. Four planets stand together in Scorpio: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune and Pluto, about 0.4° 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: Saturn. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 16 November, among them José Saramago, Chinua Achebe and Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Paul Scholes’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
about 23° Scorpio at midday
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Paul Scholes, 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.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Paul, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Salford, England, at each hour of the day.
Paul Scholes’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Paul 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 16 November 1974, computed for Salford, England.

Paul Scholes’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Paul Scholes’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Paul Scholes'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.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Paul edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Paul 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 Paul 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.
In Paul'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.
Jupiter in Pisces
8° Pisces 16' at midday
growth and excess
For Paul, 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.
Emotional security is where Paul's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Libra
29° Libra 42' at midday
freedom, generational
Paul holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
8° Sagittarius 45' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Paul in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
8° Libra 22' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Paul belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Paul Scholes’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.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 0.5° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Paul Scholes the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 2.2° at midday
Paul'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.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 2.5° at midday
Who Paul is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 4.8° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Paul'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.
Sun trine Saturn
about 5.1° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Paul's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Mars trine Saturn
about 5.6° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Paul is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
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?
