Sugar Ray Robinson’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
3 May 1921 was a Tuesday: the day Sugar Ray Robinson was born in Ailey, Georgia. Their zodiac sign was Taurus, with the Moon in Pisces. They died on 12 April 1989, aged 67. StarMap has no verified birth time for them, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is five earth, three water, two fire and no air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, four and four. Three planets stand together in Taurus: Sun, Mercury and Mars. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Uranus: an opposition, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 3 May, among them Bing Crosby, James Brown and Pete Seeger.

Sugar Ray Robinson’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 12° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Sugar Ray Robinson than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Sugar Ray Robinson 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.

Sugar Ray Robinson’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Sugar Ray Robinson’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Sugar Ray Robinson's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
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 Sugar Ray Robinson more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
With Mercury in Taurus, Sugar Ray Robinson is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Sugar Ray Robinson that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Sugar Ray Robinson may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Virgo
8° Virgo 56' 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 Sugar Ray Robinson, 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.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Sugar Ray Robinson may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Pisces
8° Pisces 56' at midday
freedom, generational
Sugar Ray Robinson has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
11° Leo 00' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Sugar Ray Robinson alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
7° Cancer 09' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Sugar Ray Robinson to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Sugar Ray Robinson’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 opposition Uranus
about 0.0° at midday
One side of this opposition wants Sugar Ray Robinson to expand along a familiar path; the other wants them to leave it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win outright, and trying the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve them well.
Sun square Neptune
about 1.7° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Sugar Ray Robinson's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 1.8° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Sugar Ray Robinson's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Mercury sextile Pluto
about 2.4° at midday
Sugar Ray Robinson's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 3.7° at midday
There is room for Sugar Ray Robinson to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Sugar Ray Robinson's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
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?
