Walt Disney’s birth chart
Born 5 December 1901, in Chicago, Illinois, at 00:35 (Rodden A).
Sagittarius Sun · Libra Moon · Virgo rising
Walt Disney’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Walt Disney was born in Chicago, Illinois, on 5 December 1901, a Thursday. The Sun was in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Libra and Virgo rising. Walt died on 15 December 1966, aged 65. The birth time, 00:35, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of A, which means it was given from memory by the person or someone close to them.
Earth carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against fire two, air two and water two. By modality the count is six cardinal, three mutable and one fixed. Four planets stand together in Capricorn: Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Saturn: a conjunction, 0.7° from exact. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 5 December, among them José Carreras, Little Richard and Ronnie O'Sullivan.
Walt Disney’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 26'
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Walt Disney forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Libra
9° Libra 10'
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Walt, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Rising sign
Virgo
25° Virgo 40'
Virgo rising gives Walt a first impression that is precise, observant and modest. People tend to trust the judgement of a Virgo rising and sometimes mistake that reserve for coolness, until they see how much help is on offer.

Walt Disney’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Walt Disney’s private life.
Sun in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 26' · third house
purpose and vitality
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Walt Disney's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
What energises Walt is talking, writing and swapping ideas with whoever happens to be around that day. With the Sun in the third house, curiosity is not a side interest but close to the core of who they are, and a good conversation can change their whole mood.
Moon in Libra
9° Libra 10' · first house
needs and habits
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Walt's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
The Moon in the first house tends to make Walt's moods visible almost immediately, so that how they feel colours how they come across before a single word has been said. Other people are apt to read that emotional weather quickly, sometimes before it has been named.
Mercury in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 25' · third house
mind and voice
With Mercury in Scorpio, Walt 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.
The third house is Mercury's natural home, and words, ideas and quick exchanges come more easily to Walt than to most people. Someone with this placement is often the fastest talker or the sharpest writer in the room.
Venus in Capricorn
29° Capricorn 42' · fifth house
love and values
For Walt, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
Venus in the fifth house can bring romance, creativity and pure enjoyment alive for Walt, and is associated with falling for people and projects with visible enthusiasm. Playfulness may well be one of Walt's most attractive qualities, drawing people in without much effort.
Mars in Capricorn
8° Capricorn 27' · fourth house
drive and anger
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Walt'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.
Mars in the fourth house puts a lot of energy into home and family, and in Walt's chart it points to a protective instinct towards the people close to them. The placement is also linked with an urge to build, repair and rearrange, so that home is rarely a place that stands still.
Jupiter in Capricorn
15° Capricorn 23' · fourth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Walt would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
With Jupiter in the fourth house, Walt probably likes a home with room in it, for more people, more projects and the warmth visitors feel on coming through the door. A generous, welcoming household may matter more to Walt than a tidy or impressive one.
Saturn in Capricorn
14° Capricorn 40' · fourth house
discipline and doubt
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 Walt, 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.
Saturn sits in the fourth house of Walt's chart, a placement linked with the weight of home and family responsibility on a person's shoulders, often from early on. With this placement, a stable home is apt to be built by sustained effort, and the security created there tends to mean more because of the work it takes.
Uranus in Sagittarius
16° Sagittarius 49' · third house
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Walt than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Uranus in the third house works in sudden leaps rather than tidy steps, and Walt often says the thing nobody expected, in exactly the way nobody expected. New ideas excite them far more than familiar ones, and hearing the same thought twice bores them fast.
Neptune in Cancer
0° Cancer 33' ℞ · tenth house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Walt and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Neptune in the tenth house can make Walt's public image harder to pin down than most, shifting as other people project hopes onto it. Creative or compassionate work is apt to suit this placement better than a rigid, conventional structure.
Pluto in Gemini
17° Gemini 47' ℞ · ninth house
power, generational
Walt shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
With Pluto in the ninth house, Walt's view of the world is apt to be overturned and rebuilt at some point, an old outlook giving way to one that has been personally tested. The placement is linked with questioning a philosophy thoroughly before taking it on.
Aspects in Walt Disney’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
0.7° separating
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Walt Disney'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.
Moon square Mars
0.7° separating
Feeling and the impulse to act can clash when the Moon is square Mars, and the result is quick reactions that Walt may later have to walk back. A breath between feeling and acting turns all that energy into something more useful.
Mercury sextile Venus
2.3° applying
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Walt's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Sun sextile Moon
3.3° applying
Goals and instincts get along under a Sun-Moon sextile, offering Walt a gentle opening to build confidence whenever they choose to use it. A little deliberate effort turns this ease into lasting self-assurance, the kind that holds up even when a day goes sideways.
Sun conjunction Uranus
4.4° applying
Independence is central to Walt's identity with the Sun conjunct Uranus, along with a resistance to being defined by anyone else's idea of them. It makes them original and hard to predict, and the catch is a restlessness with routines that could serve them well.
Sun opposition Pluto
5.3° applying
The Sun opposite Pluto sets plain self-assertion against the draw of power struggles with people who seem to threaten Walt's sense of control. Working through it leaves Walt with a strength that has no need to prove itself.
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.
