Closest of the aspects is the square between Jupiter and Pluto, about 1.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.

Sean Bean’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 26° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Sean Bean that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Sean up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Handsworth, England, at each hour of the day.

Sean Bean’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Sean Bean’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Sean Bean's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Sean faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Sean did.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Sean thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Sean probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
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 Sean, 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.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
0° Sagittarius 40' at midday ℞
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Sean is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Sean, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Leo
12° Leo 13' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Sean shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
5° Scorpio 50' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Sean 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
1° Virgo 50' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Sean 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 Sean Bean’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.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Sean Bean's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 1.2° at midday
Sean'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 Neptune
about 1.2° at midday
Sean's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 1.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Sean's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Venus square Pluto
about 1.3° 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 Sean chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Mars trine Neptune
about 1.8° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Sean's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
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.

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?
