Ratan Tata’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Ratan Tata was born on Tuesday, 28 December 1937, in Fort, India. That made Ratan a Capricorn, with the Moon in Scorpio. Ratan died on 9 October 2024, aged 86. StarMap has no verified birth time for Ratan, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

By element the count is four earth, four water, one fire and one air. By modality the count is four mutable, three cardinal and three fixed. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Pluto: a trine, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 21 other people born on 28 December, among them Linus Torvalds, Denzel Washington and Stan Lee.

Ratan Tata’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Capricorn

about 6° Capricorn at midday

A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Ratan Tata up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.

All Capricorn Suns

Moon sign

Scorpio

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Ratan 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.

Ratan Tata’s rising sign, by birth time

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 28 December 1937, computed for Fort, India.

Ratan Tata’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Capricorn

    6° Capricorn 07' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Capricorn, Ratan Tata is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

  2. Moon in Scorpio

    Scorpio, all day

    needs and habits

    For Ratan, 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.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn

    10° Capricorn 28' at midday ℞

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Ratan 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. Ratan will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.

  4. Venus in Sagittarius

    27° Sagittarius 03' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Ratan probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    4° Pisces 56' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Pisces, Ratan 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.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    1° Aquarius 47' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Ratan may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.

  7. Saturn in Pisces

    28° Pisces 58' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Ratan, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.

  8. Uranus in Taurus

    9° Taurus 54' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Ratan shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    21° Virgo 08' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune moves slowly, so Ratan shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    29° Cancer 29' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Ratan to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects in Ratan Tata’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. Saturn trine Pluto

    about 0.5° at midday

    Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Ratan Tata can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.

  2. Mercury trine Uranus

    about 0.6° at midday

    Insight is likely to come to Ratan fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.

  3. Sun sextile Mars

    about 1.2° at midday

    Ratan'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.

  4. Venus square Saturn

    about 1.9° at midday

    Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Ratan that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.

  5. Jupiter opposition Pluto

    about 2.3° at midday

    In this opposition, the urge to expand outward meets a need to control the process so tightly that it limits the very growth being sought. When Ratan loosens their grip on the outcome, the opportunity itself tends to get through.

  6. Jupiter sextile Saturn

    about 2.8° at midday

    A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Ratan'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.
