Roald Dahl’s birth chart

Roald Dahl's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Virgo

   ♍ 20° Virgo 18'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and their energy is steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. The tension is feeling like they have not earned rest until everything is fixed. It shows up in the way they keep tweaking something long after everyone else would call it finished.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 11° Aries 36'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Libra

   ♎ 16° Libra 42'

   mind and voice

   They think by weighing both sides, and they communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. The tension is taking so long to land on an opinion that the moment for it passes. It shows up as genuinely changing their mind mid conversation because the other point had merit.

4. ♀Venus in Leo

   ♌ 4° Leo 20'

   love and values

   They love generously and openly, and they value being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else they could offer they. The tension is needing steady reassurance that Roald is still adored. It shows up as grand, thoughtful gestures and a genuine hurt when they go unnoticed.

5. ♂Mars in Scorpio

   ♏ 3° Scorpio 08'

   drive and anger

   They act with focus and intensity, and their anger, when it surfaces, is controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The tension is holding onto a grievance well past its useful life. It shows up as a calm exterior that gives little warning before a genuinely sharp response.

6. ♃Jupiter in Taurus

   ♉ 4° Taurus 48' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through patience, and their luck tends to show up in steady accumulation rather than a single windfall. The overreach is excess, holding onto more comfort or more stuff than actually serves they. It shows up as a generosity with food, gifts and shared pleasures that occasionally tips into indulgence.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 27° Cancer 31'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Aquarius

   ♒ 16° Aquarius 28' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Uranus is at home here, and shared by everyone born in this multi-year span, this placement marks a generation defined by rapid technological and social change happening within a single lifetime. Personally, it can show up as an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.

9. ♆Neptune in Leo

   ♌ 4° Leo 04'

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. Personally, it can show up as a pull toward performance as a way of feeling real.

10. ♇Pluto in Cancer

    ♋ 4° Cancer 19'

    power, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects

How the planets in Roald Dahl's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mercury trine Uranus

   0.2° separating

   Their thinking and their originality flow together easily, giving they fast, inventive insight without much effort. New ideas tend to arrive when they need them, often faster than they have time to properly write them down.

2. Venus conjunction Neptune

   0.3° separating

   Their capacity for love is romantic and idealistic, and Roald is drawn to a kind of connection that feels almost transcendent. This gives they real tenderness and imagination, and the edge is seeing a partner clearly rather than only through the ideal they have built around them.

3. Venus square Jupiter

   0.5° 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. Jupiter sextile Pluto

   0.5° applying

   Their sense of possibility and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to meaningful growth without constant upheaval. Opportunities that matter tend to find they at a manageable pace, rather than arriving all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
