Note: Hannah Waddingham's exact birth time isn't on record. Planetary signs are calculated for noon on her 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 she was born near a sign change.

Emmy-winning actress who played Rebecca Welton in Ted Lasso.

Hannah Waddingham's birth chart reveals the inner architecture beneath the public persona — the planetary drives and patterns that quietly shape her work...

Hannah Waddingham's natal chart is anchored by a Leo Sun — a nature that gravitates toward the center of any room it enters — not by force, but by the specific gravity of genuine warmth and confidence. Leadership isn't something Leo performs. It's something that happens when Leo is simply being itself.

The Moon falls in Sagittarius, suggesting Meaning is the emotional anchor — Sagittarius Moon can endure difficulty, discomfort, even genuine loss, as long as the sense that it means something remains intact. Take the meaning away and the foundation goes with it.

In her personal life, Hannah's Venus in Cancer expresses love through anticipation — Cancer Venus knows what the person it loves needs before they ask for it, and has often already arranged for it. The attentiveness is the love, made concrete. Being known that specifically is the gift.

As a creative figure, Hannah's Mercury in Cancer leaves its mark on the way her mind takes in and expresses ideas. The listening is total — Cancer Mercury gives its full attention to what it hears, including what is not said, what is implied, what was careful not to be mentioned. The speaker often feels more heard than they were prepared to be.

Hannah's Mars is tireless in the service of things it believes are worth doing — no glamour or recognition required to sustain the effort. The work itself, done properly, is the reward. The stamina for unglamorous labor is extraordinary.

The chart is predominantly Fire — action, vision, and the refusal to wait are the threads connecting everything Hannah brings to the world. Cardinal energy is prominent throughout the chart, marking Hannah as someone who initiates, who starts things, who rarely waits for permission to begin. A concentration of planets in Sagittarius gives the chart a distinct Sagittarius undertone... amplifying those themes alongside the core Leo energy.

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 LeoHouse 10 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and the Sun is in its domicile here ... at full power, fully at home, expressing itself with natural warmth and creative authority. Fire makes your need to shine vivid and generative; Fixed modality gives that radiance staying power and genuine loyalty rather than mere performance. You feel most yourself when you are creating, leading, or celebrating others' gifts alongside your own. The productive tension is between generosity and the hunger for recognition: Leo's solar strength is real, but it deepens when the light you radiate is genuinely offered rather than traded for applause.

☽

Moon in SagittariusHouse 2 (est.)

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and the Moon here has an emotional life that is expansive, freedom-loving, and genuinely optimistic. Fire makes feelings enthusiastic and forward-moving rather than brooding; Mutable modality keeps your inner world restless, responsive to new input, and resistant to confinement. You feel emotionally safe when you have space ... physical, philosophical, or temporal ... and emotional claustrophobia can trigger a restlessness that looks like dissatisfaction when it is actually just the need to breathe. A concrete tendency is processing difficult emotions by moving rather than sitting: travel, study, or a change of scene rebalances your emotional state more reliably than introspection alone.

☿

Mercury in CancerHouse 9 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Mercury here thinks through feeling, memory, and emotional association more than through logical sequence. Water gives the mind an intuitive, imagistic quality ... you often know something before you can explain why, and your ideas arrive as impressions as much as arguments. Cardinal modality means your thinking naturally orients toward care, protection, and the people who matter to you. A concrete tendency is a long and vivid emotional memory: you retain the feeling of experiences with unusual clarity, which makes you a perceptive reader of people but can also make it difficult to separate what you remember from what is actually in front of you now.

♀

Venus in CancerHouse 9 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Venus here loves with a nurturing attentiveness and emotional depth that is difficult to match. Water makes your affections deeply feeling-based and profoundly sensitive; Cardinal modality means you move toward those you love proactively ... anticipating needs, creating warmth, tending the relationship before you are asked. Your home environment and the people who inhabit it are genuinely central to your experience of being loved. A concrete tendency is retreating inside your shell when hurt rather than communicating the wound ... a pattern that protects you but leaves the people who care about you genuinely unable to reach you at the moment when reaching you matters most.

♂

Mars in VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Mars here channels its drive through precision, craft, and the methodical improvement of what exists. Earth roots your energy in useful, practical work; you are most effective when you have a specific problem to solve or a system to refine. Mutable modality gives you analytical flexibility, adjusting your approach as new information arrives. A concrete tendency is the critical energy turned inward: when this placement is not directing its high standards productively outward, the same precision that produces mastery becomes an anxiety about the gap between where things are and where they should be ... the productive discipline is learning to distinguish productive critique from the kind that simply adds friction.

♃

Jupiter in PiscesHouse 5 (est.)

℞

Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and Jupiter is in its traditional domicile here ... the planet of abundance in the sign of boundless compassion and spiritual depth. Water expands your capacity for empathy, intuition, and the experience of grace; Mutable modality keeps your growth fluid and responsive to the deeper currents of life. Your fortune flows most readily when you act from compassion rather than strategy. A concrete tendency is the dissolution of discernment: Jupiter amplifies Pisces' permeability, and the essential practice is maintaining enough clarity about where your energy flows to ensure that the generosity and openness of this placement nourishes rather than depletes.

♄

Saturn in CancerHouse 9 (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 1 (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 2 (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 12 (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 SagittariusHouse 3 (est.)

Your North Node in Sagittarius calls you toward philosophical expansion, genuine faith in a larger meaning, and the willingness to trust the journey rather than requiring certainty about the destination. Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward adventure, synthesis, and the courage to commit to a worldview broad enough to live from. The corresponding South Node in Gemini suggests an ingrained ease with data, analysis, and the comfort of knowing many particular things without necessarily being asked to synthesize them into a coherent orientation. A concrete tendency from the South Node is perpetual research as an avoidance of conclusion. The medicine is the moment you stop gathering information and launch ... trusting that the accumulated understanding is enough to navigate from.

⚷

Chiron in AriesHouse 7 (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 Libra(est.)

With Libra rising, you project grace, diplomacy, and social intelligence. People experience you as balanced and fair... the person who sees both sides naturally. There's an aesthetic sensibility to how you present yourself, and your ability to create harmony in any situation is your defining trait.

↓

Descendant in Aries(est.)

With your Descendant in Aries, you're drawn to partners who are bold, direct, and action-oriented. You seek relationships that challenge you to be more assertive and independent... even if that energy feels uncomfortable at first.

Midheaven in Cancer(est.)

With your Midheaven in Cancer, your career is deeply connected to nurturing, protecting, and creating emotional safety. You're drawn to work that feels like home... where you can care for others or build something that provides comfort and belonging.

Imum Coeli in Capricorn(est.)

With your IC in Capricorn, your roots are shaped by responsibility, discipline, and emotional reserve. Your private life is more structured than people realize. You recharge through quiet achievement and building something lasting in your personal world.
