Note: Bradley Cooper's exact birth time isn't on record. Planetary signs are calculated for noon on his birth date and are likely accurate, but the rising sign and house placements are unknown... and the Moon sign should be treated as approximate if he was born near a sign change.

Academy Award-nominated actor and filmmaker known for Silver Linings Playbook, A Star Is Born, and Maestro.

The birth chart of Bradley Cooper is a portrait of the person behind the performance — revealing the drives, gifts, and inner world behind his art and creative life...

A Capricorn Sun is the foundation of Bradley Cooper's chart — a nature that carries more than it shows — responsibility, expectation, the weight of what it has decided it owes. The burden is chosen, mostly. But it is still a burden, and the task is knowing when to set it down.

The private register of the chart is a Libra Moon — The emotional world is organized around harmony — Libra Moon genuinely cannot thrive in an environment of sustained conflict. The need for peace is not avoidance; it is a real emotional requirement, and it shapes every close relationship.

Off stage, Bradley's Venus in Capricorn takes time to open in love — not because the feeling isn't there, but because Capricorn Venus does not expose what it feels until it is sure the exposure is safe. The reserve is protective, not withholding. What eventually becomes available is genuine and deep.

Mercury in Capricorn shapes his thinking and creative communication. The thinking builds methodically — Capricorn Mercury doesn't rush to conclusions. The argument is assembled, examined, revised, and presented only when it can hold weight. The confidence in the final position is earned.

In the realm of ambition and action, Bradley pursues freedom as one of its primary drives — not just personal freedom, but the freedom to explore, to expand, to move in the direction of the interesting thing. That need shapes everything.

Cardinal energy runs through the chart, and with it a specific restlessness with inertia. Bradley doesn't wait for the right conditions — Bradley creates them. A concentration of planets in Sagittarius gives the chart a distinct Sagittarius undertone... amplifying those themes alongside the core Capricorn energy.

What the Chart Reveals

Interpretations drawn from Bradley's natal placements.

☉ Sun in Capricorn

Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and the Sun shines through purpose ... identity is built on responsibility, mastery, and something real being constructed over years. Vitality comes from discipline and the slow accumulation of standing actually earned. The presence carries authority without asking for it, and others lean on it. The shadow is the self that becomes a structure ... a core identity so managed and load bearing it forgets it is allowed to be a person, warm and unfinished, and not only a thing that holds.

☽ Moon in Libra

Libra is Cardinal Air, and the Moon feels through harmony ... emotional safety depends on the peace between people being intact, on no one in the room at odds. The instinct is gracious, accommodating, finely attuned to the mood of others. Comfort comes through partnership and beauty and fairness genuinely kept. The shadow is the self that vanishes into the keeping of peace ... a heart so set on avoiding conflict it can lose track of its own feeling, agreeing its way out of knowing what it actually wants.

☿ Mercury in Capricorn

Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and Mercury thinks in structures ... ideas are organized, strategic, and aimed at something that will actually stand. Speech is economical, serious, slow to waste a word. The mind plans in long arcs and rarely loses the thread. The shadow is the imagination kept on a short leash ... a thinking so practical it can dismiss the idea that has not proven itself yet, learning that not every useful thought arrives already wearing a suit.

☉

☽

Moon in LibraHouse 7 (est.)

☿

Mercury in CapricornHouse 10 (est.)

♀

Venus in CapricornHouse 10 (est.)

Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and Venus loves seriously ... attraction is slow to kindle and built to endure, drawn to substance, reliability, and a person who is genuinely going somewhere. Affection is understated, loyal, expressed through showing up rather than through flourish. The shadow is the heart kept too guarded ... a way of loving that can treat the bond like a contract and withhold warmth until trust is fully proven, and grows by letting tenderness show before all the evidence is in.

♂

Mars in SagittariusHouse 8 (est.)

Sagittarius is Mutable Fire, and Mars acts on conviction ... drive is enthusiastic, restless, and aimed at the horizon, fighting for belief and the freedom to roam. Desire is adventurous and easily bored. Energy chases the next bigger thing. The shadow is the force that scatters toward every horizon ... an energy that can start grand campaigns and abandon them when the novelty fades, and grows by staying with one quest long enough to see it through.

♃

Jupiter in PiscesHouse 12 (est.)

Pisces is Mutable Water, and Jupiter rules its traditional home ... growth comes through compassion, faith, and a sense of the boundless larger than the self. Belief is oceanic, generous, intuitive. Luck flows through surrender and grace. The shadow is the faith that loses its footing ... an expansiveness that can dissolve into escapism and wishful drift, and grows by anchoring the boundless compassion in something real enough to act on.

♄

Saturn in CancerHouse 4 (est.)

℞

Cancer is Cardinal Water, and Saturn sits in its detriment here ... emotion meets a hard structure, and feeling gets guarded, managed, kept behind a wall built early. Security is sought through control rather than through trust. Warmth is real but slow to show. The shadow is the heart kept under lock ... a self that learned to armor its softness and call it strength, and grows by discovering that letting another in is not the danger it was taught to fear.

♅

Uranus in ScorpioHouse 7 (est.)

Uranus moves through Scorpio slowly, and some moderns note a fierce strength here ... the disruptive current dives into sex, power, death, and the hidden, dragging the buried into the open. This cohort breaks taboos. The shadow is the intensity that destabilizes ... a generation drawn to upheaval in the deep places, learning that real transformation asks for more than the thrill of breaking what was hidden.

♆

Neptune in SagittariusHouse 8 (est.)

Neptune moves through Sagittarius slowly, marking a generation ... the dreaming current reaches belief, travel, and the search for meaning, idealizing faith and the far horizon. This cohort romances the quest. The shadow is the faith that floats free of the ground ... a generational drift toward belief without examination, finding its edge when the spiritual longing is anchored in something lived.

♇

Pluto in LibraHouse 6 (est.)

Pluto crosses Libra over a generation ... the transformative power reaches relationship, marriage, and justice, remaking the contracts between people. This cohort transforms partnership itself. The shadow is the power struggle inside the bond ... a generational pull toward control in the name of fairness, finding its redemption when equality is built rather than merely demanded.

☊

North Node in SagittariusHouse 8 (est.)

The growth here runs toward meaning ... toward faith, the big picture, and the courage to trust intuition over the endless gathering of data. The South Node in Gemini holds the old ease of cleverness, second guessing, and scattered detail. The pull is toward conviction, which can feel like a leap. The work is committing to a direction and a belief, letting understanding grow past mere information.

⚷

Chiron in AriesHouse 12 (est.)

The wound here gathers around the right to exist boldly ... an early sense that asserting the self, taking up space, simply being first was somehow not allowed. It can show as held back courage or as overcompensating force. The gift is the other side of the same nerve ... a hard won understanding of what it costs to claim oneself, and an uncanny ability to help others find the courage to step forward that was once so hard to feel.

↑

Ascendant (Rising) in Aries(est.)

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and on the Ascendant it puts initiative right on the surface ... the first thing the world meets is your forward motion. You come across as direct, energetic, a little impatient, someone who walks into a room already half a step toward the next thing. People read confidence before they read anything else, and the read is usually accurate. The mask here barely is one ... what you project and what you are run close together, which is its own kind of honesty. The work is remembering that not everyone moves at your speed, and that arriving first is not the same as arriving well.

↓

Descendant in Libra(est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and on the Descendant it is doubly itself, because this is the angle Libra rules ... you are drawn to partners who are fair, graceful, oriented toward partnership. You seek balance and a genuine meeting of equals, someone who values harmony as much as you do. What you are looking for in another is often the fair exchange you most want a relationship to be.

Midheaven in Capricorn(est.)

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and on the Midheaven it is most at home, because this is the angle Capricorn rules ... the career becomes the arena where the whole self organizes. You are drawn to authority, structure, the long disciplined climb toward mastery. The reputation grows through demonstrated competence and the willingness to keep showing up. You are known for building things that last. The risk is becoming the title ... the work is remembering there is a person under the achievement.

Imum Coeli in Cancer(est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and at the IC it is most at home, because this is the angle Cancer rules ... the roots run deep into family, memory, and feeling. Home is sacred, the place you need to feel emotionally safe above all. You recharge through solitude and through tending the private world that holds you. The foundation here is feeling itself.
