The Edge’s birth chart
Born 8 August 1961, in London, England. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Cancer Moon
The Edge’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
The Edge was born in London, England, on 8 August 1961, a Tuesday. Their zodiac sign is Leo, with the Moon in Cancer. They turn 65 in 2026. 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 three fire, three earth, three water and one air. By modality the count is five fixed, three cardinal and two mutable. Leo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Uranus. Closest of the aspects is the square between Mercury and Neptune, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Jupiter and Saturn. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 8 August, among them Roger Federer, Dustin Hoffman and Jostein Gaarder.

The Edge’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 15° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For The Edge that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For The Edge that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 London, England, at each hour of the day.
The Edge’s rising sign, by birth time

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 8 August 1961, computed for London, England.

The Edge’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about The Edge’s private life.
Purpose for The Edge is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
With the Moon in Cancer, The Edge's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Mercury in Leo gives The Edge a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make The Edge more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for The Edge that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, The Edge is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Aquarius
0° Aquarius 27' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. The Edge may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
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 The Edge, 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
25° Leo 28' at midday
freedom, generational
The Edge 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
8° Scorpio 37' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that The Edge 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
7° Virgo 04' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by The Edge 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 The Edge’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.
Mercury square Neptune
about 0.3° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps The Edge is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Mars trine Saturn
about 0.5° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. The Edge is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Venus sextile Pluto
about 1.6° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with The Edge's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Venus trine Neptune
about 3.2° at midday
The Edge is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 5.4° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so The Edge's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 5.9° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in The Edge's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
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?
