Birth data: 1984-05-14, unknown, White Plains, New York, USA; Rodden rating X.

Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, and grew up in nearby Dobbs Ferry, where his father, a dentist, saw patients in an office attached to the family house. There is no birth time, so the chart is cast for noon. Its most visible feature is the Taurus-Scorpio axis: the Sun and Venus in Taurus face Mars, Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio.

## What is known and what is not

The date and town are given by Biography.com, the Jewish Virtual Library, Wikidata and Astro-Databank. Astrotheme names Dobbs Ferry as the birthplace, but that is where he grew up; Astro-Databank states plainly that the family lived in White Plains when he was born. No reliable source names the hospital, so the coordinates are those of central White Plains. The coordinates are those of the White Plains city centre.

Zuckerberg has never given his birth time, and no document with the hour is known. The astrologer Jessica Adams noted in 2018 that he has provided no birth time for astrologers. The chart therefore carries [Rodden rating](/en/methodology#rodden) X: date without time. Astro-Databank lists four versions, and all of them are rectifications or guesses, not birth data:

- 10:04 p.m.: rectification by astrologer Kannon McAfee, Ascendant 19° Sagittarius;
- around 11:00 p.m.: an attempted rectification by P. de Jabrun and, separately, a guess the database itself calls speculative, Ascendant about 2° Capricorn;
- 2:39 p.m.: rectification by astrologer Lauren Delsack, Ascendant 21° Virgo;
- 2:10 a.m.: rectification by astrologer Michael Wolfstar, Ascendant 28° Aquarius.

Four versions give four different Ascendants, and none is taken as the main time.

The chart is cast for 12:00 noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, UTC-4), which New York kept in May 1984. It has no houses, no Ascendant and no MC (more on [charts without a time](/en/methodology#unknown-time)). We do not give the Moon's degree, but its sign is certain: the Moon stayed in Scorpio all day.

## A Scorpio stellium

Mars at 19°39′ Scorpio, Saturn at 12°14′ Scorpio and Pluto at 0°05′ Scorpio form a [stellium](/en/aspects/patterns/stellium), and with the Moon that makes four bodies in one sign. All three planets were retrograde that day. The classical scheme gives Scorpio to Mars, the modern one to Pluto, so both of the sign's rulers stand in it.

Tradition links Scorpio with depth, control, long concentration on a single aim and power over shared resources.

Saturn also sits 0°10′ from [Alphecca](/en/fixed-stars/alphecca), the bright star of the Northern Crown. Ptolemy gave it the nature of Venus and Mercury, and here that softer theme falls on Saturn, the planet of limits and structure.

## Taurus facing Scorpio

The Sun at 24°01′ Taurus and Venus at 15°19′ Taurus face the Scorpio planets. The Sun opposes Mars with an orb of 4°22′, and Venus opposes Mars with an orb of 4°19′. Venus opposes Saturn with an orb of 3°05′. Venus in Taurus is in its own sign, and tradition reads it there as a taste for stability, for things with weight and for value built up slowly.

Astrologers link the [opposition](/en/aspects/opposition) with tension between two poles that a person balances through other people. Read this way, the Taurus-Scorpio axis is about what is one's own and what is shared: what a person builds alone and the resources handled together with others.

## Mercury at the edge of Aries

Mercury at 29°24′ Aries sits on the last degree of the sign and makes two close major aspects. Mercury opposes Pluto with an orb of 0°41′, and Mercury forms a [trine](/en/aspects/trine) to Neptune at 0°58′ Capricorn with an orb of 1°33′.

Tradition reads Mercury opposite Pluto as a probing, persistent mind that wants to get to the bottom of things. The trine to Neptune adds imagination. Neptune and Pluto are in sextile with an orb of 0°52′, but that aspect is generational: nearly everyone born in those years has it.

## Jupiter sextile Saturn

The tightest major aspect in the chart joins Jupiter at 12°36′ Capricorn and Saturn: a [sextile](/en/aspects/sextile) with an orb of 0°22′. A minor aspect is closer still: Saturn is [semisextile](/en/aspects/semisextile) Uranus at 12°18′ Sagittarius, orb 0°03′.

Classical astrology counts Jupiter in Capricorn as in its fall: growth here comes through planning and structure rather than sweep. Astrologers read a Jupiter-Saturn sextile as a balance between the urge to expand and the ability to set limits, and the Saturn-Uranus link as a mix of order and novelty.
