Thomas L. Friedman’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Thomas L. Friedman was born on Monday, 20 July 1953, in St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Scorpio. They turn 73 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in air signs, four in water and two in fire; none is in earth. By modality the count is five cardinal, three fixed and two mutable. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Sun, Mars and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Neptune: a conjunction, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 20 July, among them Carlos Alazraqui, Gisele Bündchen and Carlos Santana.

Thomas L. Friedman’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 27° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Thomas L. Friedman, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Scorpio
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Thomas L. Friedman that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 St. Louis Park, Minnesota, at each hour of the day.

Thomas L. Friedman’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Thomas L. Friedman’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Thomas L. Friedman is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
For Thomas L. Friedman, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Leo gives Thomas L. Friedman 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 Thomas L. Friedman more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
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. Thomas L. Friedman 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 Thomas L. Friedman, 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 Gemini
16° Gemini 17' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Thomas L. Friedman may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
For Thomas L. Friedman, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Cancer
19° Cancer 19' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Thomas L. Friedman 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
21° Libra 11' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Thomas L. Friedman 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
22° Leo 06' 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 Thomas L. Friedman, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Thomas L. Friedman’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.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 0.0° at midday
Thomas L. Friedman tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 1.0° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Thomas L. Friedman's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Saturn square Uranus
about 1.8° at midday
The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in Thomas L. Friedman's chart, producing either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments that were meant sincerely. Saturn square Uranus is best answered with structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.
Venus conjunction Jupiter
about 2.2° at midday
Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Thomas L. Friedman's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.
Mars square Neptune
about 2.9° at midday
Under this square, drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. It helps Thomas L. Friedman to separate the plan itself from the feeling of overwhelm that surrounds it.
Mars square Saturn
about 2.9° at midday
Thomas L. Friedman's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.

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?
