1998-07-08 · New York, New York, USA· birth time unknown
Maya Hawke's birth time is not publicly verified, so this chart reading skips rising sign and house placements.
A Cancer Sun is the spine. Cancer Suns are emotionally porous, family-loyal, and built for the inhabited interior work her best roles all rest on. Robin Buckley on Stranger Things, the Tarantino casting in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the indie folk-music career parallel to her acting — every project pulls on the Cancer-Sun emotional accessibility. She is the rare second-generation actress (Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke as parents) whose career hasn't been read primarily through her parentage; the Cancer Sun's emotional self-possession explains why.
Mercury in Leo gives the speaking voice its theatrical-and-warm quality. Leo Mercury speaks with scale, performs its own register, and is comfortable being heard. Her interviews have the unusual quality of someone who actually enjoys being interviewed — that's Leo Mercury at work.
Venus in Gemini is the love-of-verbal-and-creative-play. Gemini Venus loves through conversation and shared creative output; her romantic life has been notably literary-and-musical, the public partnerships built around shared creative work rather than industry strategy.
Mars in Cancer is the protective-family-drive engine. Cancer Mars fights for home and family; the publicly-close relationship with both parents, the production-company work centered on stories about family, the songwriting that returns to themes of childhood and inheritance — all read from Cancer Mars working as designed.
The Capricorn Moon, sitting at early degrees and subject to small-degree shift without verified time, gives the emotional life its disciplined-and-structural register. Cap Moons regulate through routine and ambition; she has been famously productive across acting + music + writing while still in her twenties.
Pisces Jupiter gives the chart's dreamy-creative expansion signature — the willingness to follow projects emotionally rather than strategically.
Aquarius Uranus-Neptune in retrograde is the generational dual signature defining her millennial-Gen-Z creative cohort.
Pulled together: a Cancer Sun making the work emotionally inhabited, a Leo Mercury performing the voice warmly, a Gemini Venus loving creatively, a Cancer Mars protecting the family ties, and a Capricorn Moon doing the disciplined-output work behind the scenes.
What the Chart Reveals
Interpretations drawn from Maya's natal placements.
☉ Sun in Cancer
Cancer is Cardinal Water, and the Sun shines through feeling ... identity is built around care, memory, and the people and places that count as home. Vitality rises and falls with the emotional tide, drawing strength from belonging and giving it back as warmth. The presence is gentle but quietly protective. The shadow is the shell ... a self that guards the soft center so carefully it can confuse being needed with being known, and retreats inward when it most needs contact.
☽ Moon in Capricorn
Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and the Moon is in its detriment here ... emotion is held under tight management, kept private, handled rather than felt out loud. Safety comes through competence, control, and a self that does not need anyone. The instinct is reserved, dutiful, slow to show the soft side. The shadow is the guard that never comes down ... a heart that learned early to armor up and call it strength, and has to discover that being held is not the same as being weak.
☿ Mercury in Leo
Leo is Fixed Fire, and Mercury thinks with flair ... ideas come out warm, confident, and meant to be heard, delivered with the whole personality behind them. Speech is expressive, persuasive, a little theatrical. The mind enjoys an audience and usually wins one. The shadow is the ego in the argument ... a thinking that can defend a position because it is theirs rather than because it is right, learning that the strongest mind can change itself in public without losing any standing.

Moon in CapricornHouse 4 (est.)
Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and the Moon is in its detriment here ... emotion is held under tight management, kept private, handled rather than felt out loud. Safety comes through competence, control, and a self that does not need anyone. The instinct is reserved, dutiful, slow to show the soft side.

Mercury in LeoHouse 11 (est.)
Leo is Fixed Fire, and Mercury thinks with flair ... ideas come out warm, confident, and meant to be heard, delivered with the whole personality behind them. Speech is expressive, persuasive, a little theatrical. The mind enjoys an audience and usually wins one. The shadow is the ego in the argument ... a thinking that can defend a position because it is theirs rather than because it is right, learning that the strongest mind can change itself in public without losing any standing.
Venus in GeminiHouse 9 (est.)
Gemini is Mutable Air, and Venus loves through the mind ... attraction runs on wit, conversation, and the spark of a quick exchange, charmed by anyone genuinely interesting to talk to. Affection is playful, light, curious. Variety keeps the feeling alive. The shadow is the flirtation that never lands ... a way of loving that can stay at the clever surface, sampling connections, and grows by letting one of them go deep enough to become more than a good conversation.
Mars in CancerHouse 9 (est.)
Cancer is Cardinal Water, and Mars sits in its fall here ... drive is indirect, tidal, and bound up with feeling, asserting sideways rather than straight on. Desire protects rather than conquers. The fight is defensive, fierce only when home or family is threatened. The shadow is the anger that leaks instead of speaks ... a force that can go passive and moody rather than name what it wants, and grows by learning to assert openly instead of withdrawing and seething.
Jupiter in PiscesHouse 6 (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 TaurusHouse 8 (est.)
Taurus is Fixed Earth, and Saturn builds to last ... discipline expresses through patience and the slow construction of real, durable security. Mastery comes from steady work and the refusal to be hurried. There is a deep need for the ground to be solid. The shadow is the security that turns to fear of loss ... a caution that can grip what it has and refuse all risk, and grows by trusting that some things must be ventured before they can be kept.
Uranus moves through Aquarius slowly, ruling its own ground ... the disruptive, collective impulse is fully itself, driving a generation toward technology, ideals, and reinvention of the social whole. The future arrives early here. The shadow is the cool that forgets the person ... a cohort so devoted to the system and the cause it can overlook the individual, finding its edge when the revolution stays human.
Neptune moves through Aquarius slowly, marking a generation ... the dreaming current reaches technology, the collective, and the dream of a connected utopia. This cohort idealizes the network. The shadow is the utopia that dissolves the person ... a generational faith in the system that can blur the individual, finding its edge when the dream of the many keeps the human in view.
Pluto crosses Sagittarius over a generation ... the transformative power reaches belief, religion, and the global reach of ideas, remaking what whole cultures hold true. This cohort transforms faith and its institutions. The shadow is the conviction that turns coercive ... a generational pull toward zealotry and the export of dogma, finding its redemption when the search for truth stays genuinely open.
The growth here runs toward order ... toward discernment, useful work, and the dignity of showing up for the practical and the particular. The South Node in Pisces holds the old ease of drift, escape, and the formless. The pull is toward the grounded and the exact, which can feel small after the boundless. The work is bringing form to the fog, tending the daily and the concrete rather than dissolving away from it.
The wound here gathers around power and trust ... an early experience of betrayal, loss, or powerlessness that cut to the bone. It can show as a guardedness around intimacy or a struggle with control. The gift is the depth that the wound opened ... a fearless capacity to walk with others through their darkest passages, having survived a descent of one's own.
Ascendant (Rising) in Libra(est.)
Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and on the Ascendant it leads with grace ... the world meets your charm and your fairness before anything else. You come across as poised, diplomatic, easy to be around, someone who instinctively smooths a room and makes everyone in it feel met. There is real aesthetic care in how you present, a sense that harmony is something you actually offer. The surface is genuinely pleasant ... so pleasant that your trouble is the opposite of most rising signs. The work is letting people see the one who disagrees, who wants something, who has edges the diplomacy has been carefully sanding down.
Descendant in Aries(est.)
Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and on the Descendant it draws you toward partners with fire ... bold, direct, alive, people who move first and say the thing. You seek a relationship with some heat and some friction in it, someone who challenges you to be more assertive than you are on your own. What you are looking for in another is often the directness you have not fully claimed in yourself.
Midheaven in Cancer(est.)
Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and on the Midheaven it ties the career to care ... you are drawn to work that protects, nurtures, or makes people feel safe, work that builds a kind of home for others. The reputation grows on warmth and the sense that you genuinely look after the people in your charge. You are known for holding things together. The risk is taking the whole weight personally ... the work is caring without carrying all of it alone.
Imum Coeli in Capricorn(est.)
Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and at the IC it shapes roots of responsibility and reserve ... the early home likely asked you to grow up a little early, to be steady, to manage. The private life is more structured than people guess. You recharge through quiet accomplishment, through building something lasting in your own small world.
