Virgo holds a stellium, five planets in one sign: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter. Closest of the aspects is the square between Venus and Uranus, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

Peter Weir’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 27° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Peter Weir that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
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 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, at each hour of the day.

Peter Weir’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Peter Weir’s private life.
Purpose for Peter Weir is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
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.
For Peter, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
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.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Peter is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Virgo
5° Virgo 30' 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.
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.
Uranus in Gemini
12° Gemini 47' 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
2° Libra 40' 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
8° Leo 55' 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 Weir’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.
Venus square Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
In Peter Weir's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Peter's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 2.9° 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 quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Saturn square Neptune
about 4.7° 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.
Venus conjunction Jupiter
about 7.5° 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.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
about 7.6° at midday
Peter's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.
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.

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?
