Notes
- Gray fields indicate that we don’t know the time of birth for this president, so we don’t know the rising (ascendant) or midheaven signs. However, for some of these presidents, we can be sure of the other signs, even the Moon. If the Moon is listed, then the Moon was in that sign the entire birth day. In this case, we can be sure of the Moon sign regardless of the time of birth.
- Pink fields indicate that this President’s birth time has a Rodden Rating of DD, meaning that there are conflicting birth times, or the time is unverified. In this case, the accuracy of the rising sign and midheaven sign should be taken with a grain of salt. (You can find the link to their Astro-Databank page here if you want to see more details about a President’s birth time. Just like in the case above, we can still be sure of the other signs, even the Moon. If the Moon is listed, then the Moon was in that sign the entire birth day. In this case, we can be sure of the Moon sign regardless of the time of birth.
- Green fields indicate that this sign is narrowed to two possibilities for that date, regardless of the time of birth.
- Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd & the 24th president. His second listing is yellow to avoid counting his planetary placements twice (in case someone is using this list to take a count).
- See the list of birth times that we used for the Presidents.

Annonomus
Appreciate this list. Interesting that our only Gemini prez’s have been Bush1, Kennedy, and now celebrity apprentice.
Kim
thank you soooo much for your hard work on this! This is impressive. I sensed LEO energy was a presidential trait, as well as AQUAURIAN intellect. Epiphany to see Cancer Bush Jr (“huh?”) with LEO rising (“gotcha”). Same with Gemini/Sag/LEO Trump.
ive noticed strong placements in recent wives (Scorpio and Capricorn). Would love other insights in this, particularly when presidents’ placenents were more airy or ego-y.(made that word up -HAHA)

Scorpio for John Adams in in blue. There is no explanation on the notes for this color. I am aware that the date was changed in his time from October 19th to October 30th. I don’t know if this changes the sign in the traditional respect or only empirically.
John
I’m sorry, I had the cursor selected over the Sun sign. It’s supposed to say “is in” blue anyway.
Astrology Library
John Adams’ planets are not meant to be a different color. I’m not sure why Scorpio appears blue to you. May I ask what device (or browser) you’re using to see if I can figure out why it looks blue.
John
I’m sorry. I had the sign highlighted. I’m sorry for the trouble.

Hello, first let me Thank you I’ve been wanting to know what SIGN mainly RULED OVER the Presidential charts. READ ONLINE AQUARIUS was the main president SUN sign BUT, NOT true. Overall I felt that all signs were in mix BUT, to me SAGITTARIUS -LIBRA- SCORPIO were repeated most in the entire chart not just SU-RI-MO. AGAIN THAT’S just me. Now I have a Q. for you… 22nd and 24th “Grover” came out twice but the second time being (#24th) was all highlighted yellow and some presidents charts were salmon pink and mint green highlighted (didn’t know I had those colors as highlights:-P) I don’t have it in highlighted mode though??? Hmmm? I’m CURIOUS to WHY you choose to ONLY put the “MIDHEAVEN & MERCURY” placements vs NOT MARS, JUPITER, N. NODE and/or S. NODE? JUST wondering I’m new to this that’s all:-)

This is awesome work. Thank you so much. Monday I m doing a segment on presidents and AStrology. Wow Thanks
Corinne Lane
Thank you. I’d be interested in checking your segment on presidents and astrology.

Thoughts: Not a single Pisces Moon president. That makes sense to me– too floaty to make it through the stress. And only one Aries Moon president — maybe too impulsive to gain favor while on the campaign trail. Sooooo many Taurus and Cap Moon presidents. Not including the unconfirmed birth times, there are only two Libra moon presidents, both Bush men. As a Libra moon this makes sense to me, I get very flustered when I perceive that I’m being attacked. I love this list! Thank you.

Woodrow Wilson’s moon sign is capricorn, not aquarius. It’s either a mistake or typo. Wilson is born on 1856/12/28 at 12:45 AM.
Astrology Library
This page uses 29 December for Wilson’s birth date because his historian said it was more likely that Wilson was born on the 29th, just after midnight after the 28th.
Thank you for noting that this conflicting date was overlooked. I will update this page immediately to show the conflict of both possible moon signs.
Here is a quote from the Source Notes of Woodrow Wilson’s birth date:
