Birth chart of Andrew McCarthy

Andrew McCarthy 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.

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

Chart detail:

Sun square Uranus (orb 1.4°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

In plain terms, this aspect creates tension between ego, personal stability, and refusal of the frame.

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 Sagittarius · Moon in Capricorn · Libra Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Sagittarius: identity and direction move through expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning; Moon in Capricorn: emotional safety looks for structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction; Libra Rising: the first way into situations uses relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Lilith

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 Lilith near the Rising sign (orb 0.1°) Lilith is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious circuit: Saturn, Sun, and Mercury

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 2 (money, security, and self-worth) and House 4 (home, family, and private life). It connects Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Sun sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°) and Mercury sextile Saturn (orb 2°). 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 Sun sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°) Sextile: Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 can cooperate with Saturn in Aquarius in House 4 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets identity, father image, and discipline cooperate over time. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Saturn.
  • Harmony Mercury sextile Saturn (orb 2°) Sextile: Mercury in Sagittarius in House 2 can cooperate with Saturn in Aquarius in House 4 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets intellect and discipline cooperate through method.
4. Important tensions

Tension triangle: Uranus, Sun, and Jupiter

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 2 (money, security, and self-worth), House 5 (creativity, romance, play, and personal visibility), and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Sun square Uranus (orb 1.4°), Jupiter opposite Uranus (orb 0.8°), and Sun square Jupiter (orb 2.2°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Tension Sun square Uranus (orb 1.4°) Square in real life: House 2 (resources, values, and security) 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 ego, personal stability, and refusal of the frame.
  • Tension Jupiter opposite Uranus (orb 0.8°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) and House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect sets the need to widen life against rupture, immediate freedom, or radical change.
  • Tension Sun square Jupiter (orb 2.2°) Square in real life: House 2 (resources, values, and security) is in friction with House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between ego, father image, confidence, and excess: the person may need to separate real personal direction from an oversized promise.
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 2: Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune resources, values, and security.
  • House 11: Mars, Uranus, and Pluto networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.
  • House 3: Moon speech, learning, and the close environment.


Sun
Sun in Sagittarius Identity, ego, father figure
Moon

Rising sign Libra
Rising in Libra 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: Lilith near the Rising sign (orb 0.1°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Lilith (pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise) is most visible through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

Andrew McCarthy has Sun in Sagittarius, in the House 2

How to read this placement

Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Sagittarius style gives expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning, and House 2 gives the life field: resources, values, and security.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into personal money, possessions, security needs, and value choices. House 2 (resources, values, and security) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun square Uranus (orb 1.4°). Aspect effect: creates tension between ego, personal stability, and refusal of the frame.

With the Sun in Sagittarius, identity forms through exploration, belief, distance, teaching, and larger meaning. The person often needs horizon: travel, study, philosophy, politics, religion, culture, or any path that expands the mind beyond the immediate environment. This placement can give optimism, frankness, humor, vision, and the ability to transmit enthusiasm. It is not only restlessness; it is the need to orient life around a bigger direction. When excessive, the person may overstate, promise too much, or confuse conviction with truth.
In the 2nd house, the Sun puts identity into value, money, possessions, skills, voice, and tangible security. The person often needs to build something concrete to feel solid: a craft, a resource, a body of work, savings, or a stable way of living. Self-confidence grows when they can trust their own means and define what is truly worth keeping. At best, this gives patience, productive pride, and a strong sense of personal value. Under stress, the ego can become too tied to income, comfort, appearance, or the fear of not having enough.

    Sun sextile Saturn (orb 0.2°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Saturn in Aquarius in House 4 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change).

    Concrete cooperation: identity, father image, and discipline can cooperate over time. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Saturn.

    Sun conjunct Mercury (orb 2.2°) 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 2 (resources, values, and security), with the same Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning). Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Mercury in Sagittarius in House 2 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique.

    Concrete effect: this aspect brings identity, ego, father image, intellect, and speech together: thought sticks strongly to the self-image.

    Reading note: Common solar conjunction: Mercury and Venus always stay close to the Sun. It becomes genuinely meaningful when the orb is very tight, one factor is angular, or the same theme repeats elsewhere.

    Sun square Uranus (orb 1.4°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Uranus in Virgo in House 11 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between ego, personal stability, and refusal of the frame. House 2 (resources, values, and security) 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.

    Sun square Jupiter (orb 2.2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 2 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Jupiter in Pisces in House 5 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between ego, father image, confidence, and excess: the person may need to separate real personal direction from an oversized promise. House 2 (resources, values, and security) is in friction with House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Andrew McCarthy has Moon in Capricorn, in the House 3

How to read this placement

Moon in Capricorn in House 3 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction, and House 3 gives the life field: speech, learning, and the close environment.

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 speech, writing, learning, short trips, and the everyday environment. House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With the Moon in Capricorn, the inner child learns confidence through structure, competence, duty, and the ability to hold steady under pressure. The personal dream often has to become real: work, mastery, status, responsibility, and long construction matter more than vague wishing. This Moon can give endurance, loyalty, patience, and a strong instinct to build something safe over time. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to seriousness, distance, responsibility, or growing up early. When burdened, it can become guarded, overly hard on itself, or afraid to depend on others.
In the 3rd house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into speech, learning, siblings, local movement, and daily exchange. The person may process feelings by talking, writing, asking questions, moving around, or staying connected to the close environment. The inner child needs language and contact; silence can make emotions grow louder. At best, this gives emotional intelligence in conversation, memory for stories, and a gift for making others feel understood. Under stress, it can become nervous speech, mood-driven opinions, overthinking, or dependence on constant messages and reassurance.

    Moon trine Uranus (orb 4.9°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: this aspect gives ease keeping the personal dream alive through change. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Uranus.

    Moon sextile Jupiter (orb 4.1°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete cooperation: personal dream and fulfillment can cooperate when optimism becomes a concrete horizon. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Jupiter.



Andrew McCarthy has Rising sign in Libra

How to read this placement

Libra 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 Libra style gives relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form.

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.

Libra rising gives a relational first impression: charm, balance, social awareness, and attention to how the room responds. The person often enters situations through tact, aesthetics, comparison, and the search for the right distance with others.

Andrew McCarthy has Mercury in Sagittarius, in the House 2

How to read this placement

Mercury in Sagittarius in House 2 is one concrete combination: Mercury gives intellect, language, thought, and technique, the Sagittarius style gives expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning, and House 2 gives the life field: resources, values, and security.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy into personal money, possessions, security needs, and value choices. House 2 (resources, values, and security) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Mercury square Pluto (orb 3.3°). Aspect effect: creates tension between thought, obsession, secrecy, and control: analysis can become too suspicious, harsh, or focused on crisis.

With Mercury in Sagittarius, the intellect seeks meaning, horizon, principles, and the larger pattern. The person often communicates through teaching, humor, conviction, stories, philosophy, politics, travel, or culture. This placement can give vision, enthusiasm, directness, and the ability to connect facts to a bigger worldview. It is not built for tiny details first. Under stress, it can generalize, preach, exaggerate, or confuse confidence with accuracy.
In the 2nd house, Mercury puts intellect into money, skills, voice, resources, possessions, and personal value. The person may learn best through practical use and may think carefully about what can be built, earned, stored, sold, or made useful. Speech can become a resource: a voice, a craft, a technical skill, or a way to negotiate value. At best, this gives business sense, practical intelligence, and the ability to turn ideas into tangible assets. Under stress, it can become worry about money, mental attachment to security, or reducing value to what can be counted.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Mercury.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between thought, obsession, secrecy, and control: analysis can become too suspicious, harsh, or focused on crisis.

    Mercury square Uranus (orb 3.6°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between thought, nervousness, rupture, and contradiction: the mind can cut too fast, provoke, or refuse the frame. House 2 (resources, values, and security) 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.

    Mercury square Jupiter (orb 4.4°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between precision and amplification: thought wants to stay exact, while Jupiter pushes to widen, promise, exaggerate, or give too much meaning. House 2 (resources, values, and security) is in friction with House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Mercury sextile Lilith (orb 5.3°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Mercury in Sagittarius in House 2 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Lilith in Libra in House 1 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Lilith's ideal can cooperate without becoming fixation. Visible angle: Lilith near the Rising sign (orb 0.1°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.



Andrew McCarthy has Venus in Scorpio, in the House 2

How to read this placement

Venus in Scorpio in House 2 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Scorpio style gives intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power, and House 2 gives the life field: resources, values, and security.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style into personal money, possessions, security needs, and value choices. House 2 (resources, values, and security) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Venus conjunct Neptune (orb 1.5°). Aspect effect: mixes Venus with Neptune: desire, beauty, projection, glamour, romantic ideal, and sensitivity to collective moods come out together.

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 2nd house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into money, body, voice, possessions, food, comfort, and personal value. The person may build confidence through beauty, sensuality, stable resources, or the ability to enjoy what life offers. Taste becomes practical here: what is worth buying, keeping, touching, wearing, hearing, or cultivating. At best, this gives material grace, a pleasant voice, financial tact, and a talent for creating comfort. Under stress, it can become laziness, possessiveness, overspending, attachment to luxury, or confusing self-worth with appearance or money.

    Venus sextile Pluto (orb 0.5°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Venus in Scorpio in House 2 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power); Pluto in Virgo in House 11 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).

    Concrete cooperation: Venus and Pluto can cooperate when desire becomes a force of transformation instead of a simple need to possess.

    Venus conjunct Neptune (orb 1.5°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 2 (resources, values, and security), with the same Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power). Venus in Scorpio in House 2 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction; Neptune in Scorpio in House 2 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect mixes Venus with Neptune: desire, beauty, projection, glamour, romantic ideal, and sensitivity to collective moods come out together.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings action, anger, courage, competition, and effort 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.

With Mars in Leo, action wants style, visibility, courage, and pride. The person often acts better when there is a stage, an audience, a role to defend, or a chance to show strength. This Mars can be charismatic, brave, creative, loyal, and powerful in performance or leadership. Under stress, it can become dramatic, authoritarian, overly proud, or unable to admit defeat without turning conflict into theater.
In the 11th house, Mars puts action into friends, groups, networks, audiences, ideas, ideologies, political causes, teams, and collective projects. The person may fight for a group, compete inside a network, or bring energy to movements and shared goals. Desire becomes social here: it wants impact, allies, victories, and a future worth pushing toward. At best, this gives team drive, activist courage, and the ability to mobilize people. Under stress, it can become conflict with friends, factional battles, impatience with groups, or using a cause as an outlet for personal anger.


Andrew McCarthy has Jupiter in Pisces, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Jupiter in Pisces in House 5 is one concrete combination: Jupiter gives personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons, the Pisces style gives imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability, and House 5 gives the life field: creation, performance, and personal expression.

Under stress, it can become vague, escapist, gullible, or unable to separate real hope from fantasy.
With Jupiter in the 5th house, the person finds fulfillment through creativity, romance, children, play, performance, and pleasure. This placement wants more than entertainment: it wants the heart to open through creation, joy, love, and the courage to be expressive. At best, it gives creative optimism, warmth with children, romantic enthusiasm, and the ability to inspire others through pleasure. Under stress, it can become dramatic excess, gambling with affection or money, overindulgence, or chasing excitement as if ordinary life were not enough.

Under stress, it can become social distance, ideological rigidity, or the feeling of being responsible for a group while remaining emotionally separate from it.
In the 4th house, Saturn puts responsibility into family, home, roots, memory, childhood, and the private base of life. The person may feel they must build inner security through effort rather than receiving it easily. At best, this gives emotional endurance, loyalty to roots, capacity to protect a household, and maturity in private life. Under stress, it can become loneliness, family burden, emotional coldness, fear of dependence, or a home life organized more by duty than warmth.

The person may see a better way to organize a task and feel irritated by routines that waste time. This placement can give technical invention, analytical originality, and a gift for improving everyday life. Under stress, it can become restlessness at work, nervous perfectionism, criticism of old methods, or disruption of the body through irregular habits.
In the 11th house, Uranus puts innovation into friends, networks, audiences, movements, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, technology, and collective projects. This is one of Uranus's most natural fields: the person may thrive in groups that experiment, reform, invent, or challenge old social patterns. At best, this gives network intelligence, progressive alliances, collective invention, and a strong sense of future possibilities. Under stress, it can become unstable friendships, ideological shocks, social detachment, or constant movement from one group to another without building continuity.
