Sidney Poitier’s birth chart

Sidney Poitier's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Pisces

   ♓ 1° Pisces 26' · fifth house

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and their vitality ebbs and flows with their surroundings. The tension is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. It shows up as the days they feel unstoppable and the days they need to disappear for a while.

   Self-expression, romance and creative play are where they feel most alive, and holding that part of themselves back tends to leave they flat. They need a stage of some kind, even a small and informal one, or their natural warmth has nowhere real to go.

2. ☽Moon in Libra

   ♎ 19° Libra 31' · first house

   needs and habits

   They need harmony in their immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off their whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The tension is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they actually want.

   Their moods are visible almost immediately, and how they feel tends to color how they come across before they have said a single word. People read their emotional weather faster than they expect, sometimes faster than they have named it to themselves.

3. ☿Mercury in Pisces

   ♓ 18° Pisces 28' · sixth house

   mind and voice

   They think in images and impressions more than straight lines, and they communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. The tension is struggling to explain a conclusion they nonetheles feel certain about. It shows up as knowing something is off before they can say why.

   They think in terms of systems, checklists and how to make an everyday process work a little better than it did before. Analyzing the small details of their daily routine is genuinely satisfying to they, not just a necessary chore they tolerate.

4. ♀Venus in Pisces

   ♓ 23° Pisces 13' · sixth house

   love and values

   They love without much guard, and they value emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The tension is idealising a partner before they have really seen them. It shows up as giving generously to relationships and struggling to notice when Sidney is giving more than Sidney is getting.

   They bring genuine grace to their daily routine and often make ordinary tasks noticeably more pleasant for the people working alongside they. A harmonious workplace matters more to they than an impressive one, and tension there drains they faster than the actual workload does.

5. ♂Mars in Taurus

   ♉ 29° Taurus 30' · eighth house

   drive and anger

   They act deliberately and stick with a course once they have chosen it, and their anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. The tension is digging in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It shows up as needing real provocation to snap, and staying rattled for a while after they do.

   Sidney is drawn to intensity in their closest bonds, and Sidney is not afraid of the harder conversations about trust, power and vulnerability that most people dodge. Facing difficult truths head on comes more naturally to they than it does to nearly everyone else around they.

6. ♃Jupiter in Pisces

   ♓ 7° Pisces 50' · fifth house

   growth and excess

   They grow through compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things they cannot fully explain. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. It shows up as a generosity of spirit that others lean on more than they let they know.

   Creativity, romance and play come with a real sense of abundance for they, and they tend to enjoy these parts of life fully rather than cautiously holding back. Good fortune often shows up around the things they genuinely love doing, almost without they chasing it directly.

7. ♄Saturn in Sagittarius

   ♐ 7° Sagittarius 08' · second house

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

   They take a serious, disciplined approach to money and values, sometimes worrying more about them than the actual situation strictly calls for. Financial security, for they, tends to come through steady, patient effort over years rather than through any single lucky break.

8. ♅Uranus in Pisces

   ♓ 27° Pisces 50' · sixth house

   freedom, generational

   Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people who transform spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries earlier generations kept firm. Personally, it can show up as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.

   They bring an inventive streak to their daily work, often finding unconventional shortcuts or better systems that other people around they simply miss. A rigid, unchanging routine tends to wear on they faster than it does most people, no matter how sensible it looks.

9. ♆Neptune in Leo

   ♌ 25° Leo 27' ℞ · eleventh house

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. Personally, it can show up as a pull toward performance as a way of feeling real.

   Sidney is drawn to friendships and causes with an idealistic edge, and they may hold a vision for their community that reaches well beyond the merely practical. Disappointment can follow when a group falls short of that vision, even when their effort was genuinely sincere.

10. ♇Pluto in Cancer

    ♋ 14° Cancer 01' ℞ · tenth house

    power, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.

    Their career may involve real reinvention at some point along the way, and Sidney is drawn to positions of genuine influence rather than mere surface status. Public power interests they considerably more than public popularity, even though the two often get confused by others.

Aspects

How the planets in Sidney Poitier's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Jupiter square Saturn

   0.7° separating

   Their enthusiasm for growth can meet real limits, whether practical, financial or self-imposed, and it can feel like their ambitions keep outrunning their resources. The lesson is treating the limit as a pace-setter rather than a wall.

2. Mars sextile Uranus

   1.7° separating

   Their drive and their independence cooperate, giving they easy access to bold, original action without much friction. This is useful, low-drama initiative, the sort that lets they try something new without making a big production of it.

3. Sun square Mars

   1.9° separating

   Their sense of self and their drive to act can clash, producing impatience or a habit of picking fights they did not need to pick. Learning to pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into real, usable determination.

4. Mars square Neptune

   4.1° separating

   Their drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. The lesson is separating the actual plan from the feeling of overwhelm around it.
