Ray Kroc’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Ray Kroc was born on Sunday, 5 October 1902, in Oak Park, Illinois. That made Ray a Libra. The Moon changed sign at about 15:40, from Scorpio to Sagittarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Ray died on 14 January 1984, aged 81. No verified birth time is on file for Ray; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Air carries the most weight: three of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, earth two and water two. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Mercury and Neptune, about 0.4° 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: Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 5 October, among them Václav Havel, Kate Winslet and Imran Khan.

Ray Kroc’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 11° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Ray Kroc'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 15:40, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:40: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Ray 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 15:40: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Ray, 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 Oak Park, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Ray Kroc’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ray 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 5 October 1902, computed for Oak Park, Illinois.

Ray Kroc’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ray Kroc’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Ray Kroc'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.
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 15:40, then Sagittarius
needs and habits
Born before about 15:40: Moon in Scorpio
For Ray, 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 15:40: 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 Ray edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Ray tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
With Venus in Virgo, Ray 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 Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Ray its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aquarius
7° Aquarius 24' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Ray 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.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Ray, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Sagittarius
17° Sagittarius 55' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Ray than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Cancer
3° Cancer 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Ray and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
19° Gemini 39' at midday ℞
power, generational
Ray shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Ray Kroc’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.
Mercury trine Neptune
about 0.4° at midday
Ray Kroc probably has a natural gift for metaphor, storytelling and intuitive leaps, the work of thinking and imagination in easy partnership. With Mercury trine Neptune, communicating something hard to put into words comes easily, in a way that other people often find memorable.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Ray without constant conflict. Ray is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.
Mars trine Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
Ray's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 3.3° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Ray can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 4.1° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Ray's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Venus square Neptune
about 5.9° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Ray's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
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?
