Indian-American filmmaker known for The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Split.

M. Night Shyamalan's natal chart is anchored by a Leo Sun — a radiant, creative force... someone who needs to express, to be seen, and finds identity through the courage to shine.

Beneath the surface, a Virgo Moon speaks to what M. needs emotionally... order, usefulness, and a sense of control over their environment. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.

Their energy is dramatic and courageous... they pursue goals with flair and determination. A concentration of planets in Virgo gives M.'s chart a strong Virgo emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Birth time unknown. The Rising sign, house placements, and Midheaven shown below are estimated using noon. Only the Sun and Moon positions are reliable.

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 VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and the Moon here finds emotional security through practical usefulness, organized environments, and the care of attending to the small things. Earth makes your feelings tangible and action-oriented ... when something is wrong emotionally, your instinct is to fix it. Mutable modality keeps your inner life responsive and analytically flexible. You show love through doing rather than declaring. A concrete tendency is emotional anxiety that manifests as bodily symptoms or relentless mental chatter ... the productive response is recognizing that the same attentiveness that creates this inner noise can also be the thing that heals it, once redirected with compassion rather than criticism.

Mercury in VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Mercury is in both its domicile and exaltation here ... the most precise and analytically powerful placement for the planet of mind. Earth directs your intellect toward what is practical, accurate, and improvable; Mutable modality makes you analytically flexible, able to sift and adapt your thinking as new information arrives. You notice what others miss and communicate with an exactness that builds real trust. A concrete tendency is the inner editor that never quite stops: this placement can generate as much doubt as insight, and the discipline of trusting your own analysis enough to act on it ... rather than endlessly refining it ... is where this extraordinary mind produces its most valuable work.

Venus in VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Venus is in its fall here ... the planet of love in the sign of critical discernment, creating a placement that loves sincerely but often struggles to let love be imperfect. Earth makes your affections practical and demonstrated through service ... you show you care by doing, remembering, and attending to the details that make life better for the person you love. Mutable modality gives you flexibility and genuine attentiveness. A concrete tendency is the internal list of what is not quite right: the discernment that produces your devotion can also produce an ongoing assessment of the relationship's flaws, and the most meaningful relational work is learning to rest in appreciation rather than improvement.

Mars in LeoHouse 10 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and Mars here pursues its desires with passion, pride, and an instinct for the dramatic. Fire makes your drive vivid and expressive; Fixed modality gives you genuine staying power and the will to sustain your ambitions through difficulty rather than abandoning them when they stop feeling exciting. You are motivated by recognition and the desire to create something that bears your stamp. A concrete tendency is the disproportionate response to ego wounds: when effort goes unrecognized or authority is challenged, this placement can respond with an intensity that surprises others ... the maturation of this energy is learning to act from the love of the work itself rather than from the need for the work to be seen.

Jupiter in LibraHouse 12 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Jupiter here grows through relationship, collaboration, and the active pursuit of beauty, justice, and genuine partnership. Air expands your understanding through dialogue; Cardinal modality means growth arrives through the connections you initiate rather than those you wait for. Your fortune flows through partnerships ... professional, romantic, and social. A concrete tendency is agreeing rather than engaging: Jupiter amplifies Libra's preference for harmony, and the most important growth edge is learning to bring your full perspective into a collaboration honestly, including the parts that might create friction, because that is where genuine partnership ... and genuine expansion ... actually lives.

Saturn in TaurusHouse 7 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Saturn here works through the domain of material security, resources, and the relationship between effort and value. Earth is naturally compatible with Saturn's demand for substance; Fixed modality means the lessons are prolonged and the structures you build, once established, are genuinely durable. Your lessons around scarcity, worth, and the right to material comfort may have begun early. A concrete tendency is hoarding as anxiety management: the fear of lack that this placement can generate produces a relationship with resources defined more by what might be lost than by what is actually present ... the maturation is a hard-won trust in your own capacity to provide.

Uranus in LibraHouse 11 (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 ScorpioHouse 1 (est.)

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Neptune here (1956–1970) dissolves boundaries around power, sexuality, death, and the psychological underworld. Water amplifies Neptune's permeability and emotional depth; Fixed modality means what is dissolved tends to stay dissolved ... the transformations of this era are genuinely permanent. This generation has been shaped by psychedelic exploration, spiritual seeking, the AIDS crisis, and a profound confrontation with the shadow aspects of human nature. The shadow is an addiction to intensity and the glamorization of darkness ... the confusion of depth with difficulty and transcendence with dissolution.

Pluto in VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Pluto here (1958–1971) brought transformative energy to health, work, ecology, and the systems that maintain daily life. Earth makes Pluto's transformation practical and concrete; Mutable modality means it spreads through systems analytically, restructuring processes rather than overthrowing them. This generation drove environmental movements, healthcare reform, and the digital restructuring of the workplace. The shadow is a compulsive perfectionism and an identification with critique so deep that healing is perpetually deferred ... the transformation available is a genuine regeneration of the relationship between work, health, and service, not merely a more thorough analysis of their failures.

North Node in PiscesHouse 4 (est.)

Your North Node in Pisces calls you toward compassion, spiritual surrender, and the willingness to release control in favor of a larger flow. Pisces is a Mutable Water sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward empathy, imagination, and the trust that some things cannot be managed but only met with presence and mercy. The corresponding South Node in Virgo suggests an ingrained ease with analysis, practical service, and the habit of fixing what is broken. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the compulsion to solve and improve what would more wisely be accepted. The medicine is learning that some things cannot be perfected, only held ... and that the capacity to hold something without requiring it to be other than it is may be the most profound form of service available.

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.

MC

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.

IC

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.
