Peggy Lee’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
26 May 1920 was a Wednesday: the day Peggy Lee was born in Jamestown, North Dakota. That made Peggy a Gemini. The Moon changed sign at about 15:50, from Virgo to Libra; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Peggy died on 21 January 2002, aged 81. StarMap has no verified birth time for Peggy, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: three of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, earth two and water two. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, three and four. Closest of the aspects is the square between Sun and Saturn, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mars was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 26 May, among them John Wayne, Miles Davis and Helena Bonham Carter.

Peggy Lee’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini
about 5° Gemini at midday
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Peggy Lee probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Moon sign
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 15:50, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:50: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Peggy is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Born after about 15:50: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Peggy, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Jamestown, North Dakota, at each hour of the day.
Peggy Lee’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Peggy 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 26 May 1920, computed for Jamestown, North Dakota.

Peggy Lee’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peggy Lee’s private life.
For Peggy Lee, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.

Virgo until about 15:50, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 15:50: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Peggy's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Peggy's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 15:50: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Peggy's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Peggy's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Peggy's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
In Peggy's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Leo
12° Leo 03' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Peggy the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Peggy may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Pisces
5° Pisces 35' at midday
freedom, generational
Peggy has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
9° Leo 07' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Peggy alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
6° Cancer 29' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Peggy to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Peggy Lee’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.
Sun square Saturn
about 0.0° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Peggy Lee pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Mercury square Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Peggy may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Saturn opposition Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
Saturn opposite Uranus wants stability, and wants enough freedom that the stability never starts to feel like a cage. For Peggy, building in room to change course from the start tends to work better than choosing one need and resenting the other later.
Sun square Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Peggy's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
Mercury square Saturn
about 0.8° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Peggy is willing to say out loud.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.8° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Peggy'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?
