Robin Williams’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
21 July 1951 was a Saturday: the day Robin Williams was born in Chicago, Illinois. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Pisces and Scorpio rising. Robin died on 11 August 2014, aged 63. The birth time, 13:34, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was taken from a birth certificate or birth record.
Of the ten planets, four are in water signs, three in fire, two in earth and one in air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, two and three. Sun, Mars and Uranus all fall in Cancer. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Saturn: a sextile, 0.3° from exact. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

Robin Williams’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
28° Cancer 10'
A Cancer Sun protects. For Robin Williams, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Pisces
8° Pisces 56'
With the Moon in Pisces, Robin may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Rising sign
Scorpio
0° Scorpio 55'
Scorpio rising comes across as intense and self-contained. People tend to sense that there is more going on than Robin is saying; this rising sign keeps more back than it shows.

Robin Williams’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Robin Williams’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Robin Williams is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
The Sun in the ninth house lets travel, ideas and a bigger philosophy of life shape the person Robin is becoming, more than any single job or role could. They need room to explore new places and new questions, or they start to feel smaller and duller than they are.
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Robin more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
For Robin, the Moon in the fourth house can make home the place where emotions live, and the placement is associated with unusual sensitivity to the mood of a household. A settled home probably steadies almost everything else, while chaos there can unsettle them quickly.
Mercury in Leo gives Robin a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Robin more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Mercury in the tenth house, Robin is apt to think strategically about reputation and the next move at work, and to turn a plan over privately long before anyone else knows it exists. Clear, well-timed communication may be the skill this placement leans on most.
With Venus in Virgo, Robin 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.
Venus in the tenth house brings Robin's charm and diplomacy into public life, and is linked with being easy to work alongside. Work that lets them create, connect or beautify something is likely to suit them far better than work built on pure competition.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Robin, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
With Mars in the ninth house, Robin is likely to pursue new ideas, travel and beliefs with restless energy, and a good debate about philosophy or politics can fire them up for hours. They would rather go out and find the answer than sit and wait for it to arrive.
Jupiter in Aries
13° Aries 52' · sixth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Robin'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.
Robin finds meaning in routines that others would call dull, and brings optimism to work every day. With Jupiter in the sixth house, growth comes by steady, patient improvement rather than by one dramatic leap.
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.
With Saturn in the eleventh house, Robin may keep a smaller circle of friends, but holds on to those friends with loyalty over many years and without much fuss. Belonging to a group is likely to take longer to feel secure, and to be valued all the more for that.
Uranus in Cancer
10° Cancer 50' · ninth house
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.
With Uranus in the ninth house, Robin may be drawn to unusual places and ideas that question the usual view of how things work. A single fixed philosophy rarely holds the interest of someone with this placement, who would rather keep updating a view of the world than settle it once and for all.
Neptune in Libra
16° Libra 53' · twelfth house
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.
The twelfth house is Neptune's natural home, and Robin's inner life is likely to be rich with imagination, intuition and a sense of connection to something larger than themselves. Neptune here makes solitude less about being alone and more about tuning in to what is already there.
Pluto in Leo
18° Leo 48' · tenth house
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.
Influence may matter more to Robin than surface status, and with Pluto in the tenth house, a working life that stops meaning something may well be reinvented. Pluto here is associated with caring more about public power than public popularity, two things that are easy to confuse.
Aspects in Robin Williams’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun sextile Saturn
0.3° separating
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Robin Williams rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Venus sextile Uranus
0.7° applying
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Robin's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Mars conjunction Uranus
1.1° separating
Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Robin probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.
Moon opposition Venus
1.2° applying
What Robin needs and what keeps a relationship pleasant do not always match, and with the Moon opposite Venus the temptation is to soften a feeling to avoid friction. Naming a need plainly serves a relationship better than protecting it from that need.
Venus sextile Mars
1.7° separating
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Robin go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Moon trine Uranus
1.9° applying
Robin's feelings and independence are at ease with each other, so staying emotionally open need not feel like a trap. With this aspect, closeness and freedom coexist, where many people feel they have to pick one.
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.
