Whoopi Goldberg’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Whoopi Goldberg was born on Sunday, 13 November 1955, in New York City, New York. Their zodiac sign is Scorpio, with the Moon in Scorpio and Aquarius rising. Whoopi turns 71 in 2026. The birth time, 12:48, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was quoted from a birth certificate or birth record.
Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, four in water and two in air; none is in earth. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, seven and one. Scorpio holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn. Three planets stand together in Leo: Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, 0.3° from exact. Uranus was retrograde. The Moon was new.

Whoopi Goldberg’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
20° Scorpio 34'
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Whoopi Goldberg, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Scorpio
12° Scorpio 06'
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Whoopi 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
Aquarius
19° Aquarius 15'
With Aquarius rising, Whoopi tends to come across as friendly, unusual and slightly detached. People remember an Aquarius rising as the one who thought differently, and who kept the crowd at arm's length while liking it.

Whoopi Goldberg’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Whoopi Goldberg’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Whoopi Goldberg's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
The Sun in the ninth house lets travel, ideas and a bigger philosophy of life shape the person Whoopi is becoming, more than any single job or role could. They need room to explore new places and new questions, or they start to feel smaller and duller than they are.
For Whoopi, 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.
The Moon in the ninth house is restored by new places, new ideas and a wider view than the everyday routine offers, and staying still for too long makes Whoopi quietly restless. A change of scenery, even a small one, settles them again.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Whoopi 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.
Mercury in the eighth house can draw Whoopi's mind to what is hidden, complicated or left unsaid, and small talk may bore them within minutes. Someone with this placement is often the one who asks the question everyone else in the room was avoiding out of politeness.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Whoopi probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Venus in the tenth house brings Whoopi's charm and diplomacy into public life, and is linked with being easy to work alongside. Work that lets them create, connect or beautify something is likely to suit them far better than work built on pure competition.
In Whoopi's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Mars in the eighth house suggests close bonds with some heat in them, and Whoopi may find the harder conversations about trust, power and vulnerability less daunting than most. With Mars here, a difficult truth is apt to be faced head-on, not stepped around.
Jupiter in Leo
29° Leo 39' · seventh house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Whoopi the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
With Jupiter in the seventh house, Whoopi is apt to find that their relationships broaden their world, often through new people, places or ideas that a trusted partner brings. Generosity can flow easily in both directions with the people close to them, rarely forced or measured out.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Whoopi 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.
With Saturn in the ninth house, Whoopi takes a more serious, structured approach to ideas, education and travel than people who treat those things lightly. A rigorous education or a well-tested philosophy probably matters more with this placement than any quick, easy answer.
Uranus in Leo
2° Leo 19' ℞ · sixth house
freedom, generational
Whoopi 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.
With Uranus in the sixth house, Whoopi is often the inventive one at work, finding shortcuts or better systems that other people miss. A rigid, unchanging routine is apt to wear on Whoopi faster than on most, however sensible it looks.
Neptune in Libra
28° Libra 48' · eighth house
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Whoopi 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.
With Neptune in the eighth house, intimacy can feel like dissolving the usual boundaries with another person, for better and sometimes for worse, and Whoopi can be unusually sensitive to what goes unsaid. Trust may ask them to keep their feet on the ground rather than merge completely and lose their own outline.
Pluto in Leo
28° Leo 32' · seventh house
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 Whoopi, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Pluto in the seventh house is associated with bonds that run unusually deep once trust is built, and in Whoopi's chart it points to close partnerships that change a person. The placement is also linked with power struggles before that trust has had a chance to settle in.
Aspects in Whoopi Goldberg’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
0.9° separating
Inspired ideas are within Whoopi Goldberg's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
1.1° separating
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and Whoopi is likely to pursue opportunities that change their circumstances outright instead of merely improving them. Ambition comes with it, and the skill is pacing that intensity so that it builds and does not flare and fade.
Sun conjunction Saturn
2.8° applying
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make Whoopi reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.
Moon conjunction Mercury
3.5° separating
With the Moon conjunct Mercury, feelings and thoughts are closely linked, so Whoopi is likely to think out loud about how they feel and to feel strongly about what they think. It makes for quick emotional intelligence, and telling a passing mood from a considered opinion is the useful skill to build.
Saturn square Pluto
5.1° applying
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Whoopi may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Jupiter square Saturn
6.2° applying
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Whoopi it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
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.
