Robert Moog’s birth chart
Born 23 May 1934, in New York City, New York. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Gemini Sun · Moon in Virgo or Libra
Robert Moog’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
23 May 1934 was a Wednesday: the day Robert Moog was born in New York City, New York. The Sun was in Gemini, so Gemini was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Virgo until about 21:45 and in Libra afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Robert died on 21 August 2005, aged 71. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four air, two fire, two earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four cardinal, three mutable and two fixed. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mars and Pluto, about 0.2° 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: Jupiter. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 23 May, among them Anatoly Karpov, Lena Meyer-Landrut and Rubens Barrichello.

Robert Moog’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini
about 1° Gemini at midday
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Robert Moog probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Moon sign
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 21:45, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 21:45: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Robert is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Born after about 21:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Robert, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 New York City, New York, at each hour of the day.
Robert Moog’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Robert 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 23 May 1934, computed for New York City, New York.

Robert Moog’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Robert Moog’s private life.
For Robert Moog, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.

Virgo until about 21:45, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 21:45: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Robert's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Robert's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 21:45: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Robert's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Robert's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Robert that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Robert may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Libra
13° Libra 45' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Robert's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Robert'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 Aries
29° Aries 20' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Robert shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Virgo
9° Virgo 36' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Robert 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.
Pluto in Cancer
22° Cancer 59' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Robert 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 Robert Moog’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.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Robert Moog without constant conflict. Robert 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.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 0.3° at midday
Robert's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Robert a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Sun square Saturn
about 3.8° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Robert pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Venus square Pluto
about 4.0° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Robert chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Mercury square Neptune
about 4.5° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Robert is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
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.

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?
