Robin Gibb’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Robin Gibb was born on Thursday, 22 December 1949, in Douglas, Isle of Man. The Sun moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at about 04:25 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Sagittarius for a birth before then, Capricorn after. The Moon left Capricorn for Aquarius at about 02:25 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Robin died on 20 May 2012, aged 62. No verified birth time is on file for Robin; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

By element the count is three earth, three air, one fire and one water, leaving out the Sun and the Moon, whose signs depend on the birth time. By modality the count is three cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Closest of the aspects is the square 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. Two planets were retrograde: Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 22 December, among them Basshunter, Joshua Bassett and Ralph Fiennes.

Robin Gibb’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Sagittarius or Capricorn

Sagittarius until about 04:25, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 04:25: Sun in Sagittarius

A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Robin Gibb forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.

Born after about 04:25: Sun in Capricorn

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

Moon sign

Capricorn or Aquarius

Capricorn until about 02:25, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 02:25: Moon in Capricorn

A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Robin may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.

Born after about 02:25: Moon in Aquarius

An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Robin is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.

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 Douglas, Isle of Man, at each hour of the day.

Robin Gibb’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Robin 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 22 December 1949, computed for Douglas, Isle of Man.

Robin Gibb’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Sagittarius or Capricorn

    Sagittarius until about 04:25, then Capricorn

    purpose and vitality

    Born before about 04:25: Sun in Sagittarius

    Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Robin Gibb's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

    Born after about 04:25: Sun in Capricorn

    With the Sun in Capricorn, Robin 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 Capricorn or Aquarius

    Capricorn until about 02:25, then Aquarius

    needs and habits

    Born before about 02:25: Moon in Capricorn

    With the Moon in Capricorn, Robin's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.

    Born after about 02:25: Moon in Aquarius

    An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Robin is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.

  3. Mercury in Capricorn

    16° Capricorn 47' at midday

    mind and voice

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

  4. Venus in Aquarius

    12° Aquarius 18' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Robin may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    28° Virgo 29' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Robin is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    4° Aquarius 24' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Robin 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 Virgo

    19° Virgo 23' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Robin may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    3° Cancer 05' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Robin alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    17° Libra 08' at midday

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Robin among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    17° Leo 57' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Robin, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Robin Gibb’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. Mercury square Neptune

    about 0.4° at midday

    Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Robin Gibb is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.

  2. Sun square Mars

    about 1.8° at midday

    Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Robin's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.

  3. Mercury trine Saturn

    about 2.6° at midday

    Robin's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.

  4. Sun opposition Uranus

    about 2.8° at midday

    With the Sun opposite Uranus, Robin's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.

  5. Mars square Uranus

    about 4.6° at midday

    This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Robin as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.

  6. Venus trine Neptune

    about 4.8° at midday

    Robin is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.

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.

  • Venus opposition Plutoabout 5.6°
  • Mars trine Jupiterabout 5.9°
