Famous People Born with the Moon in Taurus

Sports accounts for 35 of the 172 names, where the roster's own rate gives about 29, so the surplus is six: between one and two standard deviations for a group this size. Kobe Bryant (American basketball player; born August 23, 1978) is the highest-ranked entry filed under sports.

Entertainment, the largest field with 72 names, comes to 42% here and 44% roster-wide. Across ten fields, one straying as far as sports does is an ordinary result of chance; the bars show how this roster splits, not a tendency of the sign.

Of the hours sampled from January 1800 through December 2009, the Moon spent 8.3% in Taurus, near one twelfth, since about 13 laps of the zodiac a year even out each sign's time. Across 2,213 settled entries that predicts about 184; the page has 172, 12 short or 93% of the prediction, a gap under one standard deviation of a binomial count this size.

The roster is no random draw: readers favor some decades and fields, and a faster Moon near perigee leaves fewer whole dates in a sign, so the years a roster favors nudge each count. A well-sourced birth time escapes the whole-date rule. Charles III (born November 14, 1948) is listed because his chart page uses the birth time a London Gazette notice printed the next day; at that minute the Moon was 0°25′ into Taurus, under an hour past its arrival from Aries.

Cards keep that ranking. Kristi Noem (American politician; born November 30, 1971) comes first and Charles III second, while Bill Clinton (born August 19, 1946) and Ronald Reagan (born February 6, 1911), both presidents of the United States, take the fifth and sixth places.

Just three cards print a Moon degree, for members whose chart page rests on a birth time from a record, because roster rows hold no clock time: Charles III, Prince Harry at 21°20′ and Frida Kahlo at 29°42′. Meryl Streep and Bill Clinton have chart pages too, but their reported hours trace to no record, so their cards show the sign alone. Tradition gives Taurus to Venus and makes it the Moon's exaltation, exact at the third degree, and modern writers tend to link a Taurus Moon with steady, comfort-seeking feeling; nothing here tests that. Charles III's Moon at 0°25′ falls short of that degree and the other two lie past it, Kahlo's at the far edge of the sign, under an hour before the Moon moved on to Gemini; the essential dignities calculator scores any chart this way.

Three columns nearly tie: the 1960s hold 26 births, the 1980s 25 and the 1940s 23. Births from 1940 through 1999 fill 78% of the page, while the 2000s add two, as the roster leaves out minors.

With a Taurus Moon every month, no decade gets more than a slight calendar edge; the columns trace the roster's birth years plus chance. Hugh Grant (British actor; born September 9, 1960) and Colin Firth (English actor and producer; born September 10, 1960) share the tallest column a day apart, both from date-only rows, so the Moon held Taurus through both local dates.
