Phil Collins’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
9° Aquarius 17'
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Phil Collins's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Scorpio
1° Scorpio 09'
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Phil 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.
Rising sign
Libra
27° Libra 47'
With Libra rising, the first impression Phil gives is graceful, fair and easy to like. People tend to feel considered in Phil's company, and a Libra rising is often the one asked to settle a disagreement.

Phil Collins’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Phil Collins’s private life.
Sun in Aquarius
9° Aquarius 17' · fourth house
purpose and vitality
Phil Collins's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.
The Sun in the fourth house places home and family at the centre of a person's sense of self, and for Phil it points to roots that may matter more than any job title or public reputation. People with this placement tend to think best within four walls they have made their own.
Moon in Scorpio
1° Scorpio 09' · first house
needs and habits
For Phil, 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.
The Moon in the first house tends to make Phil's moods visible almost immediately, so that how they feel colours how they come across before a single word has been said. Other people are apt to read that emotional weather quickly, sometimes before it has been named.
Mercury in Capricorn
15° Capricorn 29' · third house
mind and voice
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Phil tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Phil will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
The third house is Mercury's natural home, and words, ideas and quick exchanges come more easily to Phil than to most people. Someone with this placement is often the fastest talker or the sharpest writer in the room.
Venus in Aquarius
27° Aquarius 42' · fourth house
love and values
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Phil may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Venus in the fourth house wants a home that feels beautiful and welcoming, and Phil probably puts steady care into making it that way for themselves and for guests. The placement puts a high value on harmony at home, so discord there is apt to be felt quickly.
Mars in Pisces
5° Pisces 52' · fourth house
drive and anger
With Mars in Pisces, Phil is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Mars in the fourth house puts a lot of energy into home and family, and in Phil's chart it points to a protective instinct towards the people close to them. The placement is also linked with an urge to build, repair and rearrange, so that home is rarely a place that stands still.
Jupiter in Pisces
10° Pisces 42' · fourth house
growth and excess
For Phil, 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.
With Jupiter in the fourth house, Phil probably likes a home with room in it, for more people, more projects and the warmth visitors feel on coming through the door. A generous, welcoming household may matter more to Phil than a tidy or impressive one.
Saturn in Libra
2° Libra 04' ℞ · eleventh house
discipline and doubt
For Phil, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
With Saturn in the eleventh house, Phil may keep a smaller circle of friends, but holds on to those friends with loyalty over many years and without much fuss. Belonging to a group is likely to take longer to feel secure, and to be valued all the more for that.
Uranus in Cancer
6° Cancer 11' ℞ · ninth house
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Phil alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
With Uranus in the ninth house, Phil may be drawn to unusual places and ideas that question the usual view of how things work. A single fixed philosophy rarely holds the interest of someone with this placement, who would rather keep updating a view of the world than settle it once and for all.
Neptune in Libra
19° Libra 30' ℞ · twelfth house
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Phil 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.
The twelfth house is Neptune's natural home, and Phil's inner life is likely to be rich with imagination, intuition and a sense of connection to something larger than themselves. Neptune here makes solitude less about being alone and more about tuning in to what is already there.
Pluto in Leo
18° Leo 52' ℞ · tenth house
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 Phil, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Influence may matter more to Phil than surface status, and with Pluto in the tenth house, a working life that stops meaning something may well be reinvented. Pluto here is associated with caring more about public power than public popularity, two things that are easy to confuse.
