Pete Townshend’s birth chart

Pete Townshend's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Taurus

   ♉ 28° Taurus 02'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in building something that lasts, and their vitality runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The tension is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. It shows up in how long they stay at one job or one home before they will admit it is time to move.

2. ☽Moon in Virgo

   ♍ 3° Virgo 36'

   needs and habits

   Their habits run toward order, and a messy space or an unfinished list unsettles their mood more than most people would guess. Pete is calmed by small, useful tasks. The tension is turning self-care into another chore to get right instead of something they actually enjoy.

3. ☿Mercury in Taurus

   ♉ 3° Taurus 32'

   mind and voice

   They think slowly and thoroughly, and once they have reached a conclusion they rarely revisit it without good reason. Their communication is plain and practical rather than showy. The tension is taking a while to consider a new idea that clashes with what they already believe.

4. ♀Venus in Aries

   ♈ 19° Aries 59'

   love and values

   They love with immediacy and pursue what they want without much hesitation, and they value a partner who can keep up. The tension is losing interest once the chase is over. It shows up as falling for someone fast and needing the relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

5. ♂Mars in Aries

   ♈ 12° Aries 40'

   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 Virgo

   ♍ 17° Virgo 33'

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 8° Cancer 24'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 12° Gemini 18'

   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 Libra

   ♎ 3° Libra 50' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 8° Leo 05'

    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.
