Peter Tosh’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Peter Tosh was born in Grange Hill, Jamaica, on 19 October 1944, a Thursday. That made Peter a Libra. The Moon changed sign at about 23:50, from Scorpio to Sagittarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Peter died on 11 September 1987, aged 42. 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 four air, three water, one fire and one earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Neptune. The tightest aspect is Sun conjunction Mercury, about 0.8° 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: Uranus. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 19 October, among them John le Carré, Philip Pullman and Michael Gambon.

Peter Tosh’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Libra

about 26° Libra at midday

A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Peter Tosh's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.

Moon sign

Scorpio or Sagittarius

Scorpio until about 23:50, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 23:50: Moon in Scorpio

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Peter that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.

Born after about 23:50: Moon in Sagittarius

A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Peter, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.

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 Grange Hill, Jamaica, at each hour of the day.

Peter Tosh’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 October 1944, computed for Grange Hill, Jamaica.

Peter Tosh’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peter Tosh’s private life.

  1. Sun in Libra

    26° Libra 11' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Libra, Peter Tosh's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.

  2. Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius

    Scorpio until about 23:50, then Sagittarius

    needs and habits

    Born before about 23:50: Moon in Scorpio

    For Peter, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.

    Born after about 23:50: Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Peter edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.

  3. Mercury in Libra

    25° Libra 21' at midday

    mind and voice

    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.

  4. Venus in Scorpio

    26° Scorpio 19' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Peter is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.

  5. Mars in Scorpio

    4° Scorpio 12' at midday

    drive and anger

    In Peter's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo

    18° Virgo 02' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Peter, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.

  7. Saturn in Cancer

    10° Cancer 46' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Emotional security is where Peter's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.

  8. Uranus in Gemini

    12° Gemini 44' 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.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    4° Libra 48' 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    10° Leo 09' 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 Tosh’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.

  1. Sun conjunction Mercury

    about 0.8° at midday

    With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Peter Tosh'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.

  2. Jupiter square Uranus

    about 5.3° at midday

    An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives Peter is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.

  3. Mars square Pluto

    about 5.9° 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.

  4. Saturn square Neptune

    about 6.0° 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.

  5. Mars trine Saturn

    about 6.6° at midday

    Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Peter is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.

  6. Sun conjunction Mars

    about 8.0° at midday

    With the Sun conjunct Mars, Peter's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.

One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.
