Rob Lowe’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
17 March 1964 was a Tuesday: the day Rob Lowe was born in Charlottesville, Virginia. That makes Rob a Pisces, with the Moon in Taurus. Rob turns 62 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Rob, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against water three, fire two and air one. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs four and cardinal signs two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Pluto: a trine, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 17 March, among them Nat King Cole, Kurt Russell and Rudolf Nureyev.

Rob Lowe’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 27° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Rob Lowe the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Taurus
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Rob, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Charlottesville, Virginia, at each hour of the day.
Rob Lowe’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Rob 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 17 March 1964, computed for Charlottesville, Virginia.

Rob Lowe’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Rob Lowe’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Rob Lowe's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Rob more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Rob thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Rob's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
With Mars in Pisces, Rob 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.
Jupiter in Aries
23° Aries 59' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Rob's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Rob's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Virgo
7° Virgo 12' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus takes about seven years to cross a sign, so in Rob's chart Uranus in Virgo describes an age group as much as a single person. It is a generation that changes how work and daily routine are done, through new methods and new technology. In one person it can be an instinct to question inherited routines.
Neptune in Scorpio
17° Scorpio 37' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Rob shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
12° Virgo 33' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Rob and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Rob Lowe’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.
Venus trine Pluto
about 1.1° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Rob Lowe's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Mars trine Neptune
about 3.2° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Rob's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
Venus trine Uranus
about 4.2° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Rob, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 4.3° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Rob's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Venus opposition Neptune
about 6.2° at midday
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For Rob, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 6.3° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Rob's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

- Saturn opposition Uranusabout 7.9°

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?
