Peter Falk’s birth chart
Born 16 September 1927, in New York City, New York. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Virgo Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Peter Falk’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Peter Falk was born in New York City, New York, on 16 September 1927, a Friday. That made Peter a Virgo. The Moon left Taurus for Gemini at about 05:30 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Peter died on 23 June 2011, aged 83. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three fire, two earth, two air and two water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold four, mutable signs four and fixed signs one. The tightest aspect is Mercury conjunction Mars, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 16 September, among them Lauren Bacall, B. B. King and David Copperfield.

Peter Falk’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 22° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Peter Falk 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.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 05:30, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 05:30: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Peter, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 05:30: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Peter, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 New York City, New York, at each hour of the day.
Peter Falk’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Peter 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 September 1927, computed for New York City, New York.

Peter Falk’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peter Falk’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Peter Falk'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.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 05:30, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 05:30: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Peter more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 05:30: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Peter is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Peter 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.
With Venus in Virgo, Peter 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.
In Peter'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 Pisces
29° Pisces 17' at midday ℞
growth and excess
For Peter, 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.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Peter is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Aries
1° Aries 46' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Peter shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Leo
27° Leo 41' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Peter 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
16° Cancer 57' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Peter 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 Peter Falk’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.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 0.5° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Peter Falk quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.6° at midday
This trine lets Peter build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mars sextile Saturn
about 1.5° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Peter has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.
Mercury sextile Saturn
about 2.0° at midday
Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Peter's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.
Mars opposition Uranus
about 2.2° at midday
When Peter acts on their own terms, it can bring them up against people or systems that expect the usual process to be followed; this opposition lives in that clash. Rebellion chosen deliberately, moment by moment, tends to serve them better than a reaction to every restriction.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 2.5° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Peter is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
