Florence Pugh Birth Chart: Capricorn Sun and What the Planets Suggest

Astro Seek Editorial Team · Published September 30, 2026 · Last updated September 30, 2026

Planetary Positions

Calculated with Swiss Ephemeris for January 3, 1996 in Oxford, United Kingdom. The birth time is not on public record, so each position covers the whole birth day and no Rising sign, houses or Midheaven are shown.

Birth Data and Sources

Florence Pugh was born on January 3, 1996, in Oxford, England, according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia identifies her as an English actress and gives her birth date and birthplace; it also notes a British Independent Film Award and nominations for an Academy Award and three BAFTA Awards. The corresponding Wikidata entry is Q22277803.

For this article, our Swiss Ephemeris calculation uses the date and place of birth but not a birth time. That distinction matters because some parts of a natal chart remain stable throughout a day, while others can change enough to require an exact time.

The untimed record is Rodden Rating X on Astro-Databank, reflecting the absence of a reliable birth time. See Astro-Databank for its source-rating system and birth-data records.

A date-only chart is still useful for discussing planetary signs and selected aspects, but it should not be presented as a complete timed natal chart. For an introduction to the subject, see birth chart without a birth time.

Florence Pugh's Sun Sign: Capricorn

Florence Pugh has the Sun in Capricorn. The Sun moves relatively slowly compared with the Moon, and on January 3, 1996, it remained in Capricorn throughout the day, moving from approximately 11.9° to 12.9°.

In traditional astrology, Capricorn is an earth sign associated with structure, discipline, responsibility and long-term effort. Astrologers often interpret the Sun as describing central themes of identity, vitality and self-expression. A Capricorn Sun is therefore traditionally associated with a practical or goal-oriented approach, although astrology is not scientifically established and these interpretations should be treated as reflective rather than deterministic.

The chart's Capricorn emphasis is notable because the Sun is not the only planet in this sign. Mars is also in Capricorn, while Uranus and Neptune are in Capricorn as well. Jupiter is a special case: it changes from Sagittarius into Capricorn during the day, so its sign depends on the unknown birth time.

That combination makes the Sun sign a useful starting point, but it is not the whole chart. Readers wanting to calculate their own placements can use the free birth chart calculator.

The Moon: Gemini

Florence Pugh's Moon is in Gemini according to the date-only calculation. During January 3, the Moon moves from approximately 10.7° to 22.6° of Gemini, so it remains in Gemini throughout the day.

In astrology, the Moon is traditionally associated with emotional responses, instinctive reactions and subjective experience. Gemini, an air sign, is traditionally linked with curiosity, communication, variety and mental flexibility. Astrologers often associate the Moon in Gemini with an inclination to process experiences through words, ideas or changing perspectives.

Because the Moon moves considerably faster than the other planets, checking whether it changes signs during a date is especially important when the birth time is unavailable. In this case, it does not cross a sign boundary, so Gemini is a consistent Moon sign for the entire date.

Mercury, Venus and Mars

Mercury is in Aquarius, moving from approximately 1.3° to 2.3° during the day. Traditionally, Mercury is associated with thinking, communication and information processing, while Aquarius is an air sign associated in astrology with independence, unconventional ideas and an interest in broader concepts. Astrologers therefore often read Mercury in Aquarius as a placement emphasizing original or intellectually independent ways of communicating.

Venus is also in Aquarius, moving from approximately 15.1° to 16.3°. Venus is traditionally associated with affection, aesthetics, social interaction and personal values. Venus in Aquarius is often linked in astrology with individuality, friendship, intellectual connection and a preference for personal freedom.

Mars is in Capricorn, moving from approximately 25.7° to 26.5°. Mars traditionally represents action, motivation, assertion and how energy is directed. Capricorn is associated with structure, persistence and purposeful effort, so astrologers often interpret Mars in Capricorn as a placement emphasizing disciplined or strategically directed action.

These three personal planets create a particularly clear pattern in the date-only chart: Mercury and Venus are both in Aquarius, while Mars is in Capricorn. That gives the chart a combination of air-sign symbolism around thought and relating, alongside earth-sign symbolism around action and structure.

Jupiter, Saturn and the Outer Planets

Jupiter changes sign during the day. At 00:00 local time it is at approximately 29.9° Sagittarius, while by 23:59 it has reached approximately 0.2° Capricorn. Therefore, Jupiter is in Sagittarius or Capricorn depending on the birth time. It would be inaccurate to select one sign without knowing when Florence Pugh was born.

Jupiter is traditionally associated with expansion, learning, belief and opportunity. Sagittarius is a fire sign traditionally linked with exploration and broad horizons, while Capricorn is an earth sign traditionally associated with structure and long-term aims. Which symbolism applies to Jupiter therefore remains time-dependent in this chart.

Saturn is in Pisces, at approximately 19.5°–19.6°. Saturn is traditionally associated with boundaries, responsibility, discipline and limitations, while Pisces is a water sign often associated with imagination, sensitivity and permeability.

Uranus is in Capricorn, Neptune is in Capricorn, and Pluto is in Sagittarius. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are generational planets: because they move slowly, they spend years in the same signs and therefore describe broader generational patterns rather than highly individual characteristics on their own.

The Capricorn placement of Uranus and Neptune contributes to the chart's earth-sign concentration, while Pluto in Sagittarius adds a fire-sign component. These placements are best interpreted in context with the faster-moving planets rather than treated as standalone explanations of personality.

Key Aspects in Florence Pugh's Chart

The following major aspects are those identified at local noon, excluding the Moon:

In traditional astrology, a conjunction is an aspect in which two planets are close together, while a sextile represents a 60-degree relationship. Astrologers often interpret conjunctions as blending the symbolism of the planets involved and sextiles as opportunities for their themes to work together.

The Mercury–Pluto sextile, for example, is traditionally associated with focused thinking or probing communication. Mercury's conjunctions with Uranus and Mars connect symbolism involving ideas, originality and action. Mars' conjunctions with Neptune and Uranus similarly combine themes traditionally associated with drive, imagination and change.

These are astrological interpretations, not scientifically established causal relationships. The aspects describe symbolic relationships within the chart rather than evidence that planetary positions determine behavior or career outcomes.

Element and Modality Balance

Among the planets with a certain sign, the element count is Fire 1, Earth 4, Air 3 and Water 1. The modality count is Cardinal 4, Fixed 2 and Mutable 3.

The four Earth placements indicate that earth is the most represented element in this calculation. In traditional astrology, earth signs are associated with practicality, material reality, stability and tangible results. Air follows with three placements and is traditionally linked with ideas, communication and intellectual exchange.

Fire and Water each have one placement. Fire is traditionally associated with enthusiasm, initiative and inspiration, while water is associated with feeling, intuition and emotional depth.

The modality balance has four Cardinal, two Fixed and three Mutable placements. Cardinal signs are traditionally associated with initiating activity, Fixed signs with maintaining or consolidating it, and Mutable signs with adaptation and transition.

These counts exclude sign-changing planets, so Jupiter is not assigned to either Sagittarius or Capricorn for this balance. This avoids introducing a birth-time-dependent placement into a summary intended to remain accurate across the whole day.

What We Can't Know Without a Birth Time

The biggest limitation is that Florence Pugh's exact birth time is unknown. That means the Rising sign cannot be established reliably. The Ascendant changes relatively quickly and depends directly on the time and location of birth, so assigning a Rising sign from a date alone would be speculative.

The same limitation applies to houses. A natal chart divides the sky into houses that astrologers use to describe areas such as career, relationships, home and other life themes. Those house boundaries depend on the exact birth time, so this article does not assign any planet to a house.

The Midheaven, another time-sensitive chart point often used in discussions of career and public life, also cannot be established from the available birth information.

Jupiter requires special care for a different reason. Unlike most of the planets listed here, it crosses a sign boundary during January 3, 1996. The chart therefore gives Jupiter as Sagittarius or Capricorn depending on the birth time rather than choosing one.

Compare Your Chart with Florence Pugh

Comparing two charts is traditionally called synastry. A synastry chart looks at the relationships between placements in two people's charts, but meaningful house comparisons require accurate birth times for both people.

If you know your birth date, place and exact birth time, you can create your own chart and then explore a synastry chart with Florence Pugh's date-based placements. Remember that her unknown birth time means that her Rising sign, houses and Midheaven cannot be reliably included in the comparison.

Astrology is a symbolic tradition rather than a scientifically established method for describing personality or predicting events. A chart comparison can therefore be approached as a reflective framework rather than as a deterministic assessment.
