Peter Fonda’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
23 February 1940 was a Friday: the day Peter Fonda was born in New York City, New York. That made Peter a Pisces, with the Moon in Virgo. Peter died on 16 August 2019, aged 79. No verified birth time is on file for Peter; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, four in earth and two in water; none is in air. By modality the count is four mutable, three cardinal and three fixed. Aries holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. The tightest aspect is Sun sextile 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. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 23 February, among them Emily Blunt, Dakota Fanning and Casemiro.

Peter Fonda’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 3° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Peter Fonda the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Virgo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Peter 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.
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 Fonda’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 23 February 1940, computed for New York City, New York.

Peter Fonda’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peter Fonda’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Peter Fonda's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Peter's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Peter's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Peter is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Peter that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Peter may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Aries
10° Aries 34' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Peter's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Peter, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Taurus
18° Taurus 19' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Peter shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
24° Virgo 41' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Peter shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
1° Leo 06' 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 Peter, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Peter Fonda’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 sextile Mars
about 0.5° at midday
Peter Fonda's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 2.6° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Peter, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Venus conjunction Jupiter
about 3.1° at midday
Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Peter's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.
Mars square Pluto
about 3.4° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Peter'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.
Mercury opposition Neptune
about 3.8° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Neptune, clear thinking competes with the lure of an appealing story or a hopeful assumption. Checking conclusions against plain evidence keeps Peter on firm ground, without asking them to give up the imagination that makes their thinking interesting in the first place.
Saturn square Pluto
about 3.8° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Peter may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
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?
