Rachel McAdams’s birth chart

Born November 17, 1978 in London, birth time not public.

Scorpio Sun · Gemini Moon · Water · Fixed

Sun

Scorpio

24° Scorpio 59'

You go deep. Surface answers do not satisfy you, and loyalty, once given, is total. A Scorpio Sun is built for transformation: you end chapters fully so the next one can begin.

Moon

Gemini

28° Gemini 19'

You process feeling by naming it. Talking, writing and switching perspective are how you settle, and silence can make small worries loud. You need people who let you think out loud.

Cast for noon; the Moon may be up to 6° off without a birth time.

Rachel McAdams's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

  1. Sun in Scorpio

    24° Scorpio 59'

    purpose and vitality

    They find purpose in going past the surface of things, and their vitality is fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The tension is needing a crisis or a deep dive to feel truly engaged. It shows up as boredom with small talk and total absorption once a subject actually interests they.

  2. Moon in Gemini

    28° Gemini 19'

    needs and habits

    Their daily habits run on conversation and mental stimulation, and they settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. The tension is restlessness when a day has no one to talk to. It shows up as texting a friend the moment something is on their mind, before they have even decided what they think about it.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    17° Sagittarius 21'

    mind and voice

    They think in big, connective leaps and communicate with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The tension is generalising past what the details actually support. It shows up as answering a specific question with a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

  4. Venus in Scorpio

    9° Scorpio 44'

    love and values

    They love intensely and privately, and they value depth and total honesty over ease. The tension is testing loyalty in ways that can create the very distance Rachel is afraid of. It shows up as an all-or-nothing quality to how they commit, with little interest in anything in between.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius

    11° Sagittarius 21'

    drive and anger

    They act boldly and want room to move while Rachel is doing it, and their anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on their freedom. The tension is speaking bluntly in the heat of the moment and smoothing it over later. It shows up as walking away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

  6. Jupiter in Leo

    8° Leo 56'

    growth and excess

    They grow through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. The overreach is overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. It shows up as a natural showmanship that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.

  7. Saturn in Virgo

    12° Virgo 41'

    discipline and doubt

    They build discipline around competence, often driven by a fear that they have not yet done enough to deserve rest. The doubt shows up as feeling like a fraud even when their actual track record says otherwise. It shows up as becoming genuinely, quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.

  8. Uranus in Scorpio

    17° Scorpio 13'

    freedom, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms power, secrecy and shared resources, often living through major upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. Personally, it can show up as a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    17° Sagittarius 11'

    imagination, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of grand belief systems and utopian journeys. Personally, it can show up as a hopeful faith that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    18° Libra 02'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of partnership, justice and social contracts. Personally, it can show up as an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects

How the planets in Rachel McAdams's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

  1. Mercury conjunction Neptune

    0.2° separating

    Their thinking is imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. This gives they real creative and intuitive strength, and the edge is checking a compelling idea against the facts before they fully commit to it.

  2. Mercury sextile Pluto

    0.7° applying

    Their thinking and their depth cooperate, giving they useful access to insight without unnecessary intensity. They notice what others miss, without much extra effort, which makes they a genuinely useful person to have in a hard conversation.

  3. Venus square Jupiter

    0.8° applying

    Their generosity can run past what is actually sustainable, whether in spending, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The lesson is matching real warmth to a scale they can actually keep up over the months that follow the excitement, not just the first one.

  4. Neptune sextile Pluto

    0.9° applying

    Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.
