American stand-up comedian, actor, and writer known for Chappelle's Show.

Dave Chappelle's natal chart is anchored by a Virgo Sun — a precise, purposeful nature... someone who improves everything they touch, serves with quiet dedication, and finds identity through usefulness.

Beneath the surface, a Cancer Moon speaks to what Dave needs emotionally... deep emotional connection, home, and a sense of belonging. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.

Their drive is slow but relentless... once committed, they don't stop. With 3 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of Dave's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Libra gives Dave's chart a strong Libra emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations

Birth time unknown. Sign placements (Sun, Moon, planets) are accurate. House placements and Rising sign are estimated from noon and may not reflect the actual chart.

☉

Sun in VirgoHouse 10 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and the Sun here channels vitality through discernment, craft, and the drive to be genuinely useful. Earth roots your identity in the practical world; you feel most yourself when you are doing something that matters and doing it well. Mutable modality makes you analytically flexible rather than rigid, always adjusting your approach in pursuit of greater precision. The challenge is the inner critic: Virgo's exacting Earth nature can turn the same discernment that produces mastery into a relentless self-assessment that makes it hard to inhabit your own life with ease.

☽

Moon in CancerHouse 9 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign and the Moon's natural domicile ... the sign the Moon rules, giving this one of the most instinctively resonant lunar placements in the zodiac. Water makes feelings run deep and permeate every perception; Cardinal modality means your emotional instincts are proactive, moving toward those you love to nurture and protect before they even ask. Your home environment is as important to your wellbeing as food or sleep. A concrete tendency is absorbing the emotional atmosphere of any room you walk into ... a gift of profound attunement, but one that requires conscious boundaries to avoid carrying others' weight as your own.

☿

Mercury in LeoHouse 10 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and Mercury here communicates with flair, narrative confidence, and a natural instinct for holding an audience. Fire makes your expression enthusiastic and inherently dramatic; Fixed modality gives you a consistent, committed voice that stands behind what it says. You think in stories and images rather than data points, and your capacity for persuasion is genuine. A concrete tendency is an intellectual pride that makes you compelling as a communicator but occasionally resistant to revising your position once you have expressed it publicly ... the sophistication of this mind grows when the same confidence that delivers ideas is paired with genuine curiosity about whether they are right.

♀

Venus in LibraHouse 11 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Venus is in its domicile here ... the planet of love in its own sign, naturally expressive, elegantly relational, and aesthetically refined. Air makes your love nature social, communicative, and oriented toward genuine partnership and fairness; Cardinal modality means you pursue connection actively rather than waiting. You have a natural gift for making others feel genuinely valued and a strong aesthetic sensibility that shapes how you inhabit your relationships and your world. A concrete tendency is conflict avoidance that ultimately deepens the problems it was meant to dissolve ... the most important relational courage for this placement is learning to speak an uncomfortable truth before the silence has accumulated enough weight to collapse the peace entirely.

♂

Mars in TaurusHouse 6 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Mars is in its detriment here ... the planet of swift, impulsive action in the sign of patient, methodical accumulation. Earth grounds your drive in the material world; you pursue what you want steadily and with remarkable endurance. Fixed modality makes you almost impossible to stop once you have committed. A concrete tendency is the slow, thoroughly earned anger: this placement's temper is slow to rise but proportionally slow to dissipate, and when it finally surfaces it can surprise people who mistook your patience for indifference ... understanding your own activation threshold is some of the most practically useful self-knowledge this placement offers.

♃

Jupiter in AquariusHouse 3 (est.)

℞

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Jupiter here grows through collective vision, social innovation, and the pursuit of a more equitable future. Air directs your expansiveness toward ideas and community; Fixed modality means your commitments to those ideals run deep and endure through resistance. Your fortune flows through networks, groups, and collaborative efforts that are ahead of their time. A concrete tendency is the vision defended rather than explored: Jupiter amplifies Aquarius's intellectual certainty, and the most important growth practice is remaining genuinely open to revising the vision when reality offers something better ... because the collective future you are oriented toward has not been built yet and cannot be owned.

♄

Saturn in CancerHouse 8 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Saturn is in its detriment here ... the planet of structure and emotional restraint in the sign of vulnerability, belonging, and emotional nourishment. This tension often manifests as early experiences in which emotional needs felt unsafe, too costly, or unwelcome. Water means the lessons are felt in the body and the psyche as much as in circumstance; Cardinal modality means they arrive at formative, initiating moments. A concrete tendency is a caregiving that withholds the self: this placement often invites someone who gives nurturing more easily than they receive it ... the essential work is learning that your own emotional needs are as legitimate as the ones you tend in others.

♅

Uranus in LibraHouse 12 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Uranus here (1968–1975) disrupts through revolution in partnership structures, legal rights, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Uranus's disruption conceptual and relational; Cardinal modality means the upheaval breaks out at the point of commitment or formal agreement. Your generation was born into the redefinition of marriage, gender roles, and legal equality, and carries a genuine orientation toward relationships as voluntary agreements between free individuals rather than inherited social arrangements. A concrete tendency is difficulty with conventional commitment alongside a genuine desire for deep partnership ... the terms simply need to be honest rather than assumed.

♆

Neptune in SagittariusHouse 1 (est.)

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Neptune here (1970–1984) dissolves the boundaries around religion, philosophy, and the search for meaning across cultures. Fire makes Neptune's idealism expansive and drawn to the universal; Mutable modality keeps the dissolution wide-ranging and restlessly seeking. This generation is drawn to spiritual exploration across traditions and carries a genuine hunger for a truth that transcends any single faith. The shadow is spiritual bypassing ... the dilution of profound traditions into comfortable lifestyle choices, and a restlessness that mistakes perpetual seeking for having arrived at the wisdom it was looking for.

♇

Pluto in LibraHouse 11 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Pluto here (1971–1984) brought profound transformation to partnership, justice, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Pluto's transformation relational and conceptual; Cardinal modality means the destruction and rebuilding arrive at points of commitment and formal agreement. This generation came of age witnessing the collapse of conventional marriage, the rise of identity politics, and a wholesale reconsideration of what equality actually requires. The shadow is a power struggle at the heart of love ... the intimate relationship as the primary arena in which questions of domination and freedom are played out rather than resolved.

☊

North Node in CapricornHouse 2 (est.)

℞

Your North Node in Capricorn calls you toward discipline, long-term vision, and the patient construction of something with genuine endurance in the material world. Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward earned authority, mature responsibility, and the willingness to invest sustained effort in something that outlasts the moment. The corresponding South Node in Cancer suggests an ingrained ease with emotional attunement, the domestic sphere, and the care of immediate relationships. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the retreat into feeling and personal care as a way of avoiding the harder exposure of outer-world accountability. The medicine is learning to bring the warmth and attentiveness of the South Node into the demanding, structurally rigorous work of the North.

⚷

Chiron in AriesHouse 6 (est.)

℞

Your Chiron in Aries places your core wound in the realm of identity, self-assertion, and the right to simply exist as yourself without apology. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign ... the wound here lives at the point of initiation, in the moment of acting on your own behalf, beginning something, or asserting a need. You may carry a deep uncertainty about whether your desires are legitimate or whether it is safe to go first. A concrete tendency is self-suppression at the threshold of action ... the impulse and the hesitation arriving simultaneously, producing a paralysis that looks from the outside like caution but is actually a wound to the right of the self to be asserted. The gift, once tended, is an extraordinary capacity to help others claim their courage.

↑

Ascendant (Rising) in Scorpio(est.)

With Scorpio rising, you project intensity and depth before you say a word. People sense that there is more going on beneath the surface than you reveal. Your presence is magnetic and a little mysterious... you observe everything and give away very little until you decide someone has earned your trust.

↓

Descendant in Taurus(est.)

With your Descendant in Taurus, you're drawn to partners who are stable, sensual, and grounded. You seek relationships that provide security and consistency... someone who makes the world feel solid.

Midheaven in Leo(est.)

With your Midheaven in Leo, your career path demands creative self-expression and recognition. You thrive when your work is visible and your unique contribution is acknowledged. Your public reputation is built on confidence, generosity, and the ability to inspire others.

Imum Coeli in Aquarius(est.)

With your IC in Aquarius, your roots are shaped by unconventionality and intellectual independence. Your home life may have felt different from the norm. You recharge through freedom, technology, and spaces where you can think without rules.
