Rufus Wainwright’s birth chart

Rufus Wainwright's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Cancer

   ♋ 29° Cancer 41'

   purpose and vitality

   They feel most alive when Rufus is caring for people and places that matter to they, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. The tension is taking things personally when they feel unneeded. It shows up in how much better their whole day goes after they have checked in on someone they love.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 23° Aries 22'

   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 Cancer

   ♋ 25° Cancer 47' ℞

   mind and voice

   They think in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and they communicate best when there is emotional trust in the room. The tension is letting mood colour how a fact gets delivered or received. It shows up as remembering exactly how a conversation felt years after the details have faded.

4. ♀Venus in Leo

   ♌ 27° Leo 04'

   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 Rufus is still adored. It shows up as grand, thoughtful gestures and a genuine hurt when they go unnoticed.

5. ♂Mars in Aries

   ♈ 19° Aries 30'

   drive and anger

   They act immediately and decisively, and their anger flares fast, hot and honest before it clears. The tension is acting before they have thought a situation all the way through. It shows up as starting the argument or the project the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.

6. ♃Jupiter in Aquarius

   ♒ 8° Aquarius 13' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through community, ideas and causes bigger than their own life. The overreach is so much faith in a theory or a group that they overlook its practical flaws. It shows up as an optimism about the future that makes they a natural organiser of other people's efforts.

7. ♄Saturn in Gemini

   ♊ 28° Gemini 49'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around expressing themselves clearly, often after early doubt about whether their ideas were good enough to say out loud. The doubt shows up as overpreparing before they will speak or write anything. It shows up as becoming, later in life, unusually precise and credible with words, once the early self-consciousness eases.

8. ♅Uranus in Libra

   ♎ 19° Libra 13'

   freedom, generational

   Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people who reshape ideas of partnership, fairness and relationship structure. Personally, it can show up as questioning traditional relationship roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.

9. ♆Neptune in Sagittarius

   ♐ 4° Sagittarius 49' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of grand belief systems and utopian journeys. Personally, it can show up as a hopeful faith that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

10. ♇Pluto in Libra

    ♎ 2° Libra 07'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of partnership, justice and social contracts. Personally, it can show up as an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects

How the planets in Rufus Wainwright's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mars opposition Uranus

   0.3° separating

   They feel a pull between acting on their own terms and clashing with people or systems that expect they to follow the usual process. Choosing their moments of rebellion deliberately tends to serve they better than reacting to every restriction.

2. Venus sextile Saturn

   1.8° applying

   Their affections and their sense of structure cooperate, giving their relationships a workable, grounded steadiness. Commitment tends to come naturally once they decide it is right, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.

3. Moon square Mercury

   2.4° applying

   Their instincts and their logic sometimes pull in different directions, which can show up as overthinking a feeling or dismissing a good instinct because it is not fully rational. Learning to let both weigh in improves their judgment.

4. Sun sextile Pluto

   2.4° applying

   Their identity and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to real resilience without constant upheaval. They handle intensity better than most people, and it costs they les than it might look like from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
