Stevie Ray Vaughan’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
3 October 1954 was a Sunday: the day Stevie Ray Vaughan was born in Dallas, Texas. Their zodiac sign was Libra, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Stevie died on 27 August 1990, aged 35. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is five water, two fire, two air and one earth. By modality the count is five cardinal, four fixed and one mutable. Scorpio holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mercury, Venus and Saturn. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Uranus: a conjunction, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 24 other people born on 3 October, among them Zlatan Ibrahimović, Gore Vidal and Gwen Stefani.
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 9° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Stevie Ray Vaughan's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Stevie, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Dallas, Texas, at each hour of the day.
Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Stevie 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 3 October 1954, computed for Dallas, Texas.

Stevie Ray Vaughan’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Stevie Ray Vaughan’s private life.
Sun in Libra
9° Libra 59' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Stevie Ray Vaughan's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Sagittarius
Sagittarius, all day
needs and habits
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Stevie edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Scorpio
5° Scorpio 16' at midday
mind and voice
With Mercury in Scorpio, Stevie tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio
22° Scorpio 10' at midday
love and values
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Stevie is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Capricorn
19° Capricorn 01' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Stevie's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Cancer
26° Cancer 55' at midday
growth and excess
For Stevie, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Scorpio
8° Scorpio 18' at midday
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Stevie letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Cancer
27° Cancer 16' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Stevie 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.
Neptune in Libra
25° Libra 12' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Stevie 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.
Pluto in Leo
26° Leo 03' at midday
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 Stevie, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Stevie Ray Vaughan’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 conjunction Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Stevie Ray Vaughan 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.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 1.7° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Stevie the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Stevie's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.
Venus sextile Mars
about 3.1° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Stevie 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.
Venus square Pluto
about 3.9° 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 Stevie chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 4.8° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Stevie'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.
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. 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?
