Peter Mayhew’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
19 May 1944 was a Friday: the day Peter Mayhew was born in Barnes, England. Their zodiac sign was Taurus, with the Moon in Aries. Peter died on 30 April 2019, aged 74. StarMap has no verified birth time for Peter, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three fire, three earth, three air and one water. By modality the count is five fixed, three cardinal and two mutable. Taurus holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Venus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Mars: a sextile, about 0.1° 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: Neptune. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 19 May, among them Natalia Oreiro, Diego Forlán and Andrea Pirlo.

Peter Mayhew’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 28° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Peter Mayhew than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Peter is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Barnes, England, at each hour of the day.
Peter Mayhew’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 19 May 1944, computed for Barnes, England.

Peter Mayhew’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peter Mayhew’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Peter Mayhew's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Peter, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
With Mercury in Taurus, Peter is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Peter'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.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Peter, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Leo
18° Leo 59' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Peter 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.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Peter that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Gemini
8° Gemini 16' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Peter and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
1° Libra 36' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Peter among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
6° Leo 36' 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 Mayhew’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 0.1° at midday
Peter Mayhew'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 square Pluto
about 0.7° at midday
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Peter looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Venus square Jupiter
about 1.2° at midday
Under this square, Peter's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Sun trine Neptune
about 3.3° at midday
Peter's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 3.4° at midday
In Peter's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Saturn square Neptune
about 5.7° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Peter that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
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?
