RZA’s birth chart
Born 5 July 1969, in Brownsville, New York. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Cancer Sun · Moon in Pisces or Aries
RZA’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
RZA was born in Brownsville, New York, on 5 July 1969, a Saturday. Their zodiac sign is Cancer. The Moon left Pisces for Aries at about 07:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. RZA turns 57 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for RZA; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four earth, two air, two water and one fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four mutable, three fixed and two cardinal. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Jupiter: a trine, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mars and Neptune were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning gibbous to last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 5 July, among them Hernán Crespo, Amélie Mauresmo and Megan Rapinoe. Eduardo Riedel was born on the very same day.

RZA’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 13° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For RZA, 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 or Aries
Pisces until about 07:15, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, RZA 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.
Born after about 07:15: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, RZA is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Brownsville, New York, at each hour of the day.
RZA’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for RZA 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 5 July 1969, computed for Brownsville, New York.

RZA’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about RZA’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, RZA 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.

Pisces until about 07:15, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Pisces
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 RZA more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 07:15: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For RZA, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
RZA'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 Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in RZA'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.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. RZA may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Virgo
28° Virgo 45' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For RZA, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and RZA is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
0° Libra 13' at midday
freedom, generational
RZA holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 12' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that RZA 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
22° Virgo 41' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by RZA 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 RZA’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 Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in RZA's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and RZA is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Mars sextile Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
Bold, original action comes to RZA without much friction, because drive and independence are on good terms in this sextile. It is useful initiative with little drama attached, the sort that tries something new without making a big production of it.
Venus trine Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for RZA, 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.
Venus opposition Neptune
about 2.5° at midday
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For RZA, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 2.5° at midday
Inspired ideas are within RZA's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.

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?
