Born 1951-07-21 · Chicago, Illinois, USA · Actor
Note: Robin Williams's exact birth time isn't on record. Planetary signs are calculated for noon on their 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 they were born near a sign change.
Astrologically, Robin Williams's chart offers a window into the inner drives, emotional life, and outward expression that define this personality...
At the heart of Robin Williams's chart is a Cancer Sun — a nature that approaches indirectly when the direct route feels dangerous — not because it lacks conviction, but because vulnerability has a price, and Cancer has usually paid it before. The roundabout path is mapped by experience, not timidity.
Inwardly, a Pisces Moon speaks to Creativity is an emotional regulation tool — Pisces Moon processes feeling through art, through music, through making something of the interior world. The act of translation is itself the healing.
When it comes to relationships, Robin's Venus in Virgo is a quiet and devoted partner whose love is demonstrated through consistency — through the same quality of care showing up every day, through reliability that doesn't need to announce itself. The love is in the pattern, and the pattern holds.
Mercury in Leo shapes how Robin thinks and communicates — the lens through which the world gets to know them. The communication has a quality of generosity — Leo Mercury speaks to people as though what they have to say is worth hearing, which has the effect of making it so. The conversational warmth is not manufactured. It is simply how this mind moves through exchange.
In the realm of ambition and action, Robin pursues indirectly — Cancer Mars doesn't always move in a straight line toward what it wants, especially when the goal is emotionally charged. The approach is lateral, patient, and often more effective than it looks.
Water runs deep in this chart... emotional intelligence, intuition, and a capacity for genuine empathy are the threads running through everything Robin does.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in Cancer in House 9
Cancer's Cardinal Water register holds the Sun without formal dignity. Solar identity rooted in lived feeling rather than abstraction. The ninth house is philosophy, higher knowledge, the architecture of how the chart owner makes meaning. Sun in Cancer in the 9th links identity to the search for meaning through an emotionally and culturally rich lens, philosophy rooted in lived experience and inherited tradition rather than purely intellectual investigation. Lives with this placement seek wisdom that feels personally resonant and spiritually alive, kind of allergic to philosophical systems that don't land on something felt. Travel that deepens emotional understanding moves the placement profoundly. Learning that has no personal emotional charge fails to genuinely stay. The chart owner's philosophy of life is inseparable from their emotional history. Anyway. The maturation arrives through pursuing higher learning in environments that feel emotionally nourishing. The best insights arise from lived felt encounter rather than purely abstract study. The honest challenge is seeking philosophical comfort rather than philosophical challenge, gravitating toward traditions that affirm rather than expand. The worldview gets challenged. The roots stay.
Moon in Pisces in House 4
Pisces carries the Moon into the 4th house, the chart's private foundation. The fourth house is home, roots, the emotional base laid in childhood. In the 4th, the placement runs the permeable emotional register through domestic life. Lives with this placement need the home to be a sanctuary, a place to retreat from a world that comes in too loud. The home is also a sponge ... it takes on the emotional atmosphere of whoever lives in it, so a tense household soaks the chart owner through and a peaceful one restores them completely. Early roots often carried something unspoken, a sadness or a mystery in the family the chart owner felt without ever being told. It's not just sensitivity; it's structural identity expressed through having almost no barrier between the self and the emotional climate of home. The shadow is the placement that can't rest anywhere the atmosphere is troubled, and carries a family's mood as though personally responsible for it. What ripens across a lifetime is the recognition that the chart owner can love a home without dissolving into its weather, and tend the atmosphere without becoming it. A house that doubles as a refuge and a sponge, slowly learning to keep one room dry.
Mercury in Leo in House 10
Mercury in Leo runs Fixed Fire through the chart's house of career and public name. The tenth house is reputation, the public role, the version of a person the world keeps on file. In the 10th, the placement runs the performing mind through the work of being known. Lives with this placement build careers out of the way they say things ... they front the project, give the talk, become the name and the face, because a mind that speaks to be admired finds its natural climate at the top of the chart. Ambition is the easy read. The structural one is wanting the public self to be impressive. The shadow is the placement that confuses the reputation with the work, that polishes the image until being admired becomes the actual job, and won't hear that the audience can tell. The slow lesson is a public self with something real behind it. The shine stays. It just stops being the whole structure. The world admires the performance first. It keeps the people whose performance turned out to be true.
Venus in Virgo in House 10
Venus in Virgo runs Mutable Earth into the chart's house of career and public standing. The tenth house is the work shown to the world, the reputation, the arc of what gets built in public. In the 10th, the placement runs the careful, modest heart up into the career itself. Lives with this placement build a reputation on competence and care ... the public self is reliable, skilled, useful, the kind of standing earned quietly through good work done well, careers in craft, service, healing, and detail where precision and devotion are the whole point. It lets the work speak. It's not just being competent at work; it's structural identity expressed through a public self built on usefulness rather than flash. Turned shadow, it's the placement so modest and so hard on itself that it undersells its worth, waits to be noticed rather than claiming its place, and lets others less skilled take the credit it was too unsure to ask for. What the placement learns, over time, is that quiet excellence still has to be claimed to be seen, and that modesty taken too far becomes a kind of self erasure. The careful work earns the respect. Believing it deserves the credit is the harder half of the career.
Mars in Cancer in House 9
Mars in Cancer runs Cardinal Water into the chart's house of the big questions. The ninth house is philosophy, travel, meaning, the long view, the search for what life is for. In the 9th, the placement runs the emotional, protective drive through belief and distance. Lives with this placement fight for beliefs rooted in feeling and home ... the convictions emotional and protective, a philosophy built around family, tradition, and emotional truth, a drive to defend the beliefs that feel like home rather than argue abstract ideas, a faith held in the gut. It defends what it feels rather than what it reasons. It's not just being emotional about belief; it's structural identity expressed through a drive that protects the convictions tied to its emotional roots. Turned shadow, it's the placement that takes any challenge to its beliefs as a personal attack, that defends its worldview through emotion and grievance rather than reason, that retreats into the familiar faith rather than venture, and cannot separate an idea from the feeling attached to it. What the placement learns, over time, is that a belief defended only because it feels like home is not the same as one that is true, and that growth asks it to question the comfortable conviction. A faith defended like family, slowly learning to question the belief without feeling the home under attack.
Jupiter in Aries in House 6
Jupiter in Aries runs Cardinal Fire through the chart's sector of work and health. The sixth house is the job, the body, the daily routine, the texture of how the days get spent. In the 6th, the placement runs the bold, expansive drive through the daily grind. Lives with this placement bring big energy and optimism to the work ... they take on more than anyone, attack the daily tasks with enthusiasm, grow through bold professional moves, and bring a confident energy that lifts the whole operation. It works big and bets on itself. It's not just being energetic; it's structural identity expressed through a drive that expands and improves through bold, optimistic work. Turned shadow, it's the placement that takes on far more than it can finish, that overcommits on optimism, that neglects the small necessary detail in favor of the grand move, and overextends the body and the schedule trusting it will all work out. What the placement learns, over time, is the judgment to take on what it can actually carry, and the discipline that turns big energy into finished work. What was the appetite to take on everything becomes the wisdom to take on the right thing.
Saturn in Virgo in House 11
Saturn in Virgo isn't formally dignified, but Mutable Earth and Mercury's precision give the placement a deep working register. The eleventh house is friendship, group belonging, the wider social fabric the chart owner participates in. Saturn here in the 11th makes group membership selective and practical, the placement contributing organizational competence. Lives with this placement are selective about the organizations they join and the causes they champion. They prefer groups that operate with clarity, accountability, and practical effectiveness, kind of allergic to the ones that don't. Within any group, they tend to take on organizational or administrative roles, identifying inefficiencies and proposing practical improvements. Anyway. The maturation arrives when the chart owner resists over-analyzing social dynamics and just shows up reliably. Sometimes the contribution of presence is more valuable than the contribution of strategy. What was analysis becomes presence.
Uranus in Cancer in House 9
Uranus in Cancer runs Cardinal Water into the chart's house of the big questions, where the generational disruption meets a single person's search for meaning. The ninth house is philosophy, meaning, the long view, the search for what it all means. In the 9th, the placement runs the restless, intuitive force through belief itself. Lives with this placement build a worldview through feeling and unconventional intuition ... a philosophy arrived at through emotional truth rather than cold logic, a belief in following the heart and the gut toward meaning, an unconventional and deeply personal spirituality rooted in what feels true. It believes what its heart awakens to. It's not just being intuitive about meaning; it's structural identity expressed through a faith built on emotional truth and instinct. Turned shadow, it's the placement whose beliefs swing with its moods, that mistakes a strong feeling for a settled conviction, that adopts and discards philosophies as the emotional weather changes, and confuses the intensity of a feeling with the truth of a belief. What the placement learns, over time, is that a feeling can point toward truth without being the verdict, and that a worldview needs more than the mood of the moment to stand on. A faith that shifts with the heart's weather, slowly learning that feeling can guide a belief without being allowed to rewrite it daily.
Neptune in Libra in House 12
Neptune in Libra runs Cardinal Air into the chart's hidden house, where the generational dream meets a single person's unconscious. The twelfth house is the unconscious, the unspoken, the force that operates without the personality knowing about it. In the 12th, the dissolving, idealizing force runs underground. Lives with this placement carry a hidden longing for perfect union and harmony ... a buried dream of the ideal love and a world without conflict running below awareness, a private idealism about how people should be together, an unconscious wish to merge and please that the personality may not openly name. The longing for union runs in the deep. It's not just a hidden graciousness; it's structural identity expressed through a buried dissolving force that operates beneath awareness. Turned shadow, it's the placement whose unconscious need to please and merge quietly erases its own desires, that dissolves into relationships without knowing it has, that carries a buried fear of conflict it has never traced, and is run from beneath by a longing for perfect harmony it has not faced. What the placement learns, over time, is that the buried wish to merge is safer brought into the light than left to dissolve the self in the dark, and that an owned longing relates where a hidden one disappears. A hidden longing for perfect union, slowly learning that the harmony it dreamed of asked it to stay whole, not vanish.
Pluto in Leo in House 10
Pluto in Leo runs Fixed Fire into the chart's house of career and public standing, where the generational power meets a single person's public life. The tenth house is the work shown to the world, the reputation, the arc of what gets built in public. In the 10th, the placement runs the intense, willful force up into the career itself. Lives with this placement build a public life through commanding power and the will to lead ... an ambition aimed at authority, recognition, and a position of real influence, careers that reward charisma, leadership, and the drive to be at the top, a reputation built on a powerful, magnetic presence. It rises to command. Being ambitious is the easy read. The structural one is a public self transformed by willful power. The shadow is the placement whose drive for power turns into a hunger for personal glory and dominance, that pursues authority to feed the ego, that can grow tyrannical or grandiose at the top, and mistakes the seizing of a commanding position for genuine greatness. The commanding charismatic drive can build real authority and influence. Wielding the power to serve rather than to glorify the self is what makes the leadership great rather than just dominant.
North Node in Pisces in House 5
℞The North Node in Pisces calls toward surrender, compassion, and the faith to trust a current larger than the self, while the South Node in Virgo holds the comfort of control, criticism, and the endless need to fix and perfect. The fifth house is play, romance, creativity, and the open heart, so here the growth is toward a creativity that flows rather than perfects. Lives with this placement are here to grow toward making and loving from the imagination ... toward art that pours out without being edited to death, romance offered with open hearted acceptance, and play freed from the need to get it exactly right. The pull is real but unfamiliar, because the reflex is to critique the creative work, find fault in the lover, and squeeze the joy out of play by perfecting it. This isn't learning to flow so much as a heart that grows by trusting its own imagination, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement that retreats into the Virgo comfort of the endlessly polished, never finished creation, that nitpicks love and art alike and avoids the riskier work of a heart that simply lets itself create. Whether the heart flows or keeps perfecting depends on the rest of the chart. The 5th asks for a joy that stops correcting itself.
Chiron in Sagittarius in House 2
℞Chiron in Sagittarius carries the wound around meaning, faith, and belonging to a truth, and the second house brings it into money, possessions, and the sense of one's own worth. In the 2nd, the wound around meaning shapes the search for value. Lives with this placement carry a wound around whether their life and resources have any larger meaning ... a buried sense that what they earn and own is meaningless, a tender restlessness that seeks worth in experience and belief rather than in security. And from tending that wound grows a gift for helping others find a worth and security rooted in meaning rather than mere accumulation. It anchors others in a worth rooted in meaning it had to find. This isn't carrying a wound so much as a wound that becomes the source of a healing gift, working at the level of identity, not habit. The trouble is the placement whose untended wound either dismisses material security as meaningless or chases experiences to outrun an inner emptiness, and never tends the ache for a worth that means something beneath. What heals slowly is the knowledge that a meaningful worth and a grounded security can coexist, and that value was never only material or only spiritual. As the years of seeking meaning over security accumulate, the wound becomes a gift for helping others value what matters.
