Birth chart of Nick Cave

Nick Cave birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

Nick Cave's chart is framed by Sun in Virgo, Moon in Virgo, and Capricorn Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Sun conjunct Mars (orb 0.2°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

In plain terms, this aspect makes ego, personal direction, courage, competition, and the need to act come out together.

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Virgo · Moon in Virgo · Capricorn Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Virgo: identity and direction move through precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail; Moon in Virgo: emotional safety looks for precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail; Capricorn Rising: the first way into situations uses structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Mars and Sun

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Mars near the Midheaven (orb 0.7°) Mars is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights action, courage, competition, and effort. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Sun near the Midheaven (orb 0.9°) The Sun is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 10 (career, status, responsibility, and public role), House 8 (intimacy, shared money, crisis, and transformation), and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience), Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future), and Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Jupiter sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°), Saturn trine Uranus (orb 1.3°), and Jupiter sextile Uranus (orb 1.1°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Jupiter sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°) Sextile: Jupiter in Libra in House 10 can cooperate with Saturn in Sagittarius in House 11 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets broad ambition and discipline cooperate gradually.
  • Harmony Saturn trine Uranus (orb 1.3°) Trine: Saturn in Sagittarius in House 11 can support Uranus in Leo in House 8 naturally and positively.
  • Harmony Jupiter sextile Uranus (orb 1.1°) Sextile: Jupiter in Libra in House 10 can cooperate with Uranus in Leo in House 8 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets fulfillment and change cooperate through openness, invention, or sudden opportunity.
4. Important tensions

Tension circuit: Saturn, Mercury, and Moon

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview) and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience), Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions), and Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Mercury square Saturn (orb 2.8°) and Moon square Saturn (orb 4.5°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Tension Mercury square Saturn (orb 2.8°) Square in real life: House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between thought, doubt, rigidity, and the demand for precision.
  • Tension Moon square Saturn (orb 4.5°) Square in real life: House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect can make the personal dream and mother image feel supervised by Saturn: play, spontaneity, or childlike confidence meets fear, duty, restraint, or the need to hold it together.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 10: Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.
  • House 9: Moon, Mercury, and Pluto vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.
  • House 11: Venus and Saturn networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.


Sun
Sun in Virgo Identity, ego, father figure
Moon
Moon in Virgo Dream, inner child, mother figure
Rising sign Capricorn
Rising in Capricorn First impression, entry style
The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Mars near the Midheaven (orb 0.7°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Mars (action, courage, competition, and effort) is most visible through social role, reputation, career, and public image.

Nick Cave has Sun in Virgo, in the House 10

How to read this placement

Sun in Virgo in House 10 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 10 gives the life field: vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into career, reputation, status, visible responsibility, and social role. House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun conjunct Mars (orb 0.2°). Aspect effect: makes ego, personal direction, courage, competition, and the need to act come out together.

Visible angle: Sun near the Midheaven (orb 0.9°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through social role, career, reputation, and public image.

With the Sun in Virgo, identity forms through usefulness, precision, improvement, and practical intelligence. The person often needs to understand how things work, correct what is imprecise, and make themselves useful through skill. This placement can give method, discernment, modesty, technical ability, and a strong sense of service. It is not only criticism; it is the need to refine life until it functions better. When tense, the person may become trapped in worry, perfectionism, or the feeling that nothing is ever clean enough.
In the 10th house, the Sun puts identity into career, status, vocation, responsibility, public image, and the role a person occupies in society. The ego is externally visible here: people often notice the person's direction, ambition, authority, or social position before subtler parts of the chart. At best, this gives leadership, professional pride, and the will to build a recognizable path. Under stress, the person may overidentify with achievement, reputation, or the need to appear successful even when private life asks for something else.

    Sun conjunct Mars (orb 0.2°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Sun in Virgo in House 10 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Mars in Virgo in House 10 brings action, courage, competition, and effort.

    Concrete effect: this aspect makes ego, personal direction, courage, competition, and the need to act come out together. Visible angle: Sun near the Midheaven (orb 0.9°) and Mars near the Midheaven (orb 0.7°) touch angles; this aspect is easier to notice through social role, reputation, career, and public image.



Nick Cave has Moon in Virgo, in the House 9

How to read this placement

Moon in Virgo in House 9 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 9 gives the life field: vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into travel, higher study, beliefs, foreign cultures, and society at large. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon conjunct Pluto (orb 3.4°). Aspect effect: joins the Moon to Pluto's crisis instinct: personal dream, childhood, mother image, protection, and power can come out together.

With the Moon in Virgo, the inner child looks for order, usefulness, practical care, and the sense that life can be improved. The personal dream often becomes concrete through skill, service, health, technique, routines, and the quiet satisfaction of doing something well. This Moon can give attentiveness, humility, precision, and devotion to everyday support. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to duty, worry, helpfulness, or the feeling that love had to be useful. Under tension, it can become anxious, self-critical, or unable to rest because something always seems unfinished.
In the 9th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into travel, foreign cultures, learning, belief, politics, teaching, and the enlargement of consciousness. The inner child needs a horizon: movement, discovery, meaning, and contact with worlds larger than the familiar. This is a Moon that can dream through journeys, books, society, ideals, or the feeling that life has a larger promise. At best, it gives optimism, cultural openness, and emotional confidence through exploration. Under stress, it can become restlessness, escape into beliefs, or disappointment when reality is smaller than the dream.

    Moon conjunct Pluto (orb 3.4°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Moon in Virgo in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Pluto in Virgo in House 9 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect joins the Moon to Pluto's crisis instinct: personal dream, childhood, mother image, protection, and power can come out together.

    Moon sextile Neptune (orb 3.4°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Virgo in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Neptune in Scorpio in House 10 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete cooperation: sensitivity and imagination can cooperate through art, intuition, care, or atmosphere. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Neptune.

    Moon square Saturn (orb 4.5°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect can make the personal dream and mother image feel supervised by Saturn: play, spontaneity, or childlike confidence meets fear, duty, restraint, or the need to hold it together. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Moon sextile Venus (orb 4.7°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete cooperation: personal dream and Venus can cooperate when the person chooses to make connection, art, or pleasure more alive. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Venus.



Nick Cave has Rising sign in Capricorn

How to read this placement

Capricorn Rising combines the Rising sign with the sign on the first-house cusp. The Rising sign describes first impression, body language, reflexes, and the way the person enters situations; the Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.

Capricorn rising gives a composed first impression: control, seriousness, endurance, and a sense of responsibility. The person may seem older, guarded, or already carrying a role, entering life through structure, effort, and long-term direction.

Nick Cave has Mercury in Virgo, in the House 9

How to read this placement

Mercury in Virgo in House 9 is one concrete combination: Mercury gives intellect, language, thought, and technique, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 9 gives the life field: vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy into travel, higher study, beliefs, foreign cultures, and society at large. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Mercury opposite Lilith (orb 1.4°). Aspect effect: opposes intellect to ideal demand, obsession, or speech that refuses approximation.

With Mercury in Virgo, the intellect becomes precise, analytical, technical, and oriented toward improvement. The person often notices errors, missing pieces, practical consequences, and the exact word that changes the meaning. This placement can give strong diagnostic ability, method, craft, editing skill, and clear problem-solving. It is Mercury in one of its strongest signs. Under stress, it can over-correct, worry, criticize, or become trapped in details before the larger question is answered.
In the 9th house, Mercury puts intellect into travel, foreign cultures, higher learning, belief, law, politics, teaching, and wide horizons. The person may think through big frameworks and learn by leaving the familiar. Ideas want distance here: books, languages, universities, journeys, public debates, and contact with society at large. At best, this gives teaching ability, philosophical curiosity, and a mind open to other cultures. Under stress, it can become intellectual preaching, scattered theories, restlessness, or confusing information with wisdom.

    Mercury opposite Lilith (orb 1.4°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Mercury in Virgo in House 9 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Lilith in Pisces in House 3 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect opposes intellect to ideal demand, obsession, or speech that refuses approximation. The house conflict is between House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) and House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Mercury sextile Venus (orb 2.6°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Mercury in Virgo in House 9 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Venus in Scorpio in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Venus can cooperate in speech, art, negotiation, or the formulation of desire.

    Mercury square Saturn (orb 2.8°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Mercury in Virgo in House 9 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Saturn in Sagittarius in House 11 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between thought, doubt, rigidity, and the demand for precision. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Nick Cave has Venus in Scorpio, in the House 11

How to read this placement

Venus in Scorpio in House 11 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Scorpio style gives intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power, and House 11 gives the life field: networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style into networks, audiences, friends, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects. House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Venus square Uranus (orb 1.1°). Aspect effect: creates tension between desire, emotional stability, and the need for freedom: attraction can alternate with distance, rupture, or refusal of routine.

With Venus in Scorpio, affection becomes intense, private, magnetic, and hard to separate from trust, vulnerability, and desire. The person often wants bonds that feel total, honest, and emotionally real, not merely pleasant. Taste can be dark, deep, erotic, powerful, or drawn to what reveals hidden layers. This placement does not usually enjoy superficial attachment. Under stress, it can become jealous, controlling, suspicious, or test love by pushing it toward extremes.
In the 11th house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into friends, groups, networks, audiences, communities, shared ideals, group taste, and collective projects. The person may find affection through friendship, social circles, fans, shared ideas, or creative collaboration. Beauty and pleasure become social here: parties, movements, communities, and public taste matter. At best, this gives popularity, social charm, artistic networks, and the ability to bring people together pleasantly. Under stress, it can become dependence on group approval, superficial friendships, social comparison, or using popularity as a substitute for intimacy.

    Venus square Uranus (orb 1.1°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Venus in Scorpio in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power); Uranus in Leo in House 8 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between desire, emotional stability, and the need for freedom: attraction can alternate with distance, rupture, or refusal of routine. House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) is in friction with House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Venus trine Lilith (orb 4°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: Lilith's ideal source can elevate Venus: beauty, attraction, taste, and desire can feel magnetic, pure, or iconic.

House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Visible angle: Mars near the Midheaven (orb 0.7°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through social role, career, reputation, and public image.

With Mars in Virgo, action becomes technical, precise, and corrective. The person fights by improving, fixing, analyzing, training, and making the situation more workable. This Mars is strong for craft, discipline, health routines, problem-solving, and practical service. Under stress, it can become irritable, hypercritical, anxious, or trapped in details instead of taking the larger action.
In the 10th house, Mars puts action into career, status, public role, ambition, responsibility, and reputation. This is a visibly martial placement: other people may perceive drive, competitiveness, courage, conflict, or force through the person's social role. The person often wants to act, lead, win, or prove capacity in the public sphere. At best, this gives professional courage, executive energy, and the will to take decisive action. Under stress, it can become career conflict, public aggression, impatience with hierarchy, or overidentification with winning.


Nick Cave has Jupiter in Libra, in the House 10

How to read this placement

Jupiter in Libra in House 10 is one concrete combination: Jupiter gives personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons, the Libra style gives relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form, and House 10 gives the life field: vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.

More about this placement

House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Jupiter sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°). Aspect effect: lets broad ambition and discipline cooperate gradually.

They often become more confident when harmony, dialogue, style, or partnership opens the situation. This Jupiter can give charm, diplomacy, aesthetic generosity, and talent for making a room feel more civilized. Under stress, it can become dependent on approval, indecisive, conflict-avoidant, or too eager to please.
With Jupiter in the 10th house, the person finds fulfillment through career, status, public role, reputation, and social responsibility. The public role needs room to guide, teach, encourage, lead, or make life wider for others. At best, this gives social confidence, respected guidance, generosity in leadership, and success through a broad vision. Under stress, it can become inflated status, overpromising publicly, moralizing from authority, or assuming reputation will protect against consequences.

Aspect connected to this placement: Saturn trine Uranus (orb 1.3°). Aspect effect: gives natural positive support between Saturn (discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery) and Uranus (disruption, independence, and change).

With Saturn in Sagittarius, discipline is applied to belief, travel, teaching, truth, and the wider view of life. The person may need to test ideas through real experience instead of repeating slogans or inherited opinions. This can give serious study, moral consistency, and the ability to turn a worldview into a practical path. Under stress, it can become dogmatism, fear of being wrong, blocked optimism, or a tendency to make freedom feel like a duty.

The person may take social commitments seriously and prefer reliable allies over easy popularity. At best, this gives durable friendships, organizational skill, responsible collective work, and the ability to build structures that outlast enthusiasm.

Nick Cave has Uranus in Leo, in the House 8

How to read this placement

Uranus in Leo in House 8 is one concrete combination: Uranus gives disruption, independence, and change, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 8 gives the life field: sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds.

With Uranus in Leo, independence expresses itself through creativity, pride, performance, romance, and the need to be seen as unique. The person may refuse ordinary applause and look for a style that cannot be copied. This placement can give artistic audacity, theatrical confidence, and the ability to surprise an audience. Under stress, it can become dramatic rebellion, unstable ego, risky attention-seeking, or difficulty sharing the spotlight.
