George W. Bush Birth Chart: Presidential Stars Revealed

George W. Bush’s birth chart combines a Cancer Sun, Libra Moon, and Leo Ascendant. The planetary positions and houses below use a recorded birth time of 7:26 a.m. in New Haven, Connecticut. These positions describe the chart; the interpretations are symbolic, not evidence of private motives or a cause of historical events.

The birth time is rated AA by Astro-Databank, which cites a birth certificate and hospital record.

Leo rising, at 7.11°, is where the chart begins. The Midheaven, at 24.21° Aries, sits at the top. Then there’s the Cancer Sun, along with Saturn, tucked away in the Twelfth House, the quiet back room where things get thought about but not announced. Mercury, Venus, and Pluto are in the First House, right out front, where everybody can see them. In traditional astrology, these houses frame a contrast between private reflection and visible self-expression. The chart cannot establish why Bush made any particular decision.

Air has the largest share of the ten planets in this count, followed by fire, water, and earth. Astrologers often associate air with exchange of ideas and fire with initiative. These percentages describe the sign distribution in the chart; they do not measure personality or explain political outcomes.

Five planets fall in cardinal signs, three in fixed signs, and two in mutable signs. Cardinal signs traditionally emphasize beginning and directing activity; fixed signs suggest persistence; mutable signs suggest adjustment. This is a symbolic reading of the count, not a verified account of Bush’s habits or leadership style.

George W. Bush was born on July 6, 1946, with the Sun at 13.78° Cancer in the Twelfth House in this chart. Cancer is a cardinal water sign associated in astrology with protection, belonging, and loyalty. The Twelfth House traditionally concerns privacy, reflection, and activity beyond public view.

Read together, those placements suggest a symbolic contrast between public responsibilities and a need for a private center. Saturn at 26.50° Cancer is also in the Twelfth House, adding themes of duty and restraint. Astrology cannot verify Bush’s inner life or explain his policies; the chart offers a vocabulary for reflection, not a historical account.

The Moon is at 16.71° Libra, in the Third House. Libra is the sign of scales and seesaws, the one that’s forever weighing one thing against another and trading remarks back and forth. The Third House is the neighborhood of astrology: talking, learning, the everyday business of getting words from one person to another.

Jupiter, at 18.14°, is parked right beside the Moon in that same house. A reader might make something of that: a feeling nature paired with a big, generous appetite for conversation. But that’s a guess dressed up as a pattern. Nothing here tells us how Bush felt when no one was looking, or how any meeting actually went. It’s a pretty picture of a chart, not a verdict on the man.

The Sun at 13.78° Cancer and the Moon at 16.71° Libra are 92.93° apart, just beyond the 90° angle of the first quarter. Astrologers connect this phase with testing ideas and meeting challenges. The phase is a chart measurement and a symbolic theme, not a prediction of events.

Mercury is at 9.83° Leo, with Pluto just a hair away at 10.58°, which makes them the closest pair in the whole chart. Both sit in the First House, and in Leo, which is the sign that likes to walk into a room and be seen doing it. Astrologers would say it points to a plain, unmistakable public voice, the kind you could pick out of a crowd.

Venus is in Leo too, at 21.49°, but she’s a good twelve degrees off from Mercury, so she keeps her own counsel. That leaves a reader with three separate things to consider: how he talked, what he liked to look at, and who he thought he was. None of it proves that a speech, a friendship with another country, or a policy came from where the planets happened to be standing. It’s a nice way to read a chart. It isn’t a reason for anything.

Mars is at 9.31° Virgo, in the Second House. Virgo is the sign of the careful person: the one who checks the details, fixes the draft, and notices when the napkins don’t match the tablecloth. The Second House is where astrology keeps the money and the things a person values.

That reading is symbolic. Bush’s record as president must be assessed from historical evidence; a Mars placement cannot establish the causes or consequences of his actions.

Jupiter is still beside the Moon at 18.14° Libra, and Saturn, at 26.50° Cancer, keeps the Sun company in the Twelfth House, where the two of them have plenty of quiet to share. Uranus, at 19.15° Gemini, lands in the Eleventh House, the house of friends, groups and causes. Neptune, at 5.94° Libra, drifts into the Third, which puts a little fog in the neighborhood of conversation. Put it all together and you get a chart with a lot to say about talking, duty, company and the way a person sees things.

Here’s the catch, though. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move so slowly that everyone born around the same time shares their signs, so they’re less a portrait of one person than a picture of a generation. It’s the houses and the tighter angles between planets that make a chart feel like it belongs to someone in particular. Even then, it’s a way of telling a story with symbols, not a set of facts about a person.

The George W. Bush chart has a Cancer Sun tucked into the Twelfth House, a Libra Moon in the Third, and Leo on the Ascendant. Leo gets a second helping in the First House, where Mercury, Venus, and Pluto all sit. Read as a whole, it sets the private beside the public, the shy beside the showy, instead of boiling a person down to a single sign.

Use the tables to trace each claim back to a placement. The first-quarter Moon follows from the Sun–Moon angle of 92.93°. For a personal comparison, start with your own birth date, place, and a documented birth time; then compare signs and houses one by one. Astrology is interpretive and cannot replace evidence about a person’s choices or life.
