Famous People Born with the Sun in Libra

Date-only rows sit at local noon; the ten members with a researched birth record sit at the record's adopted hour. At slightly over a day per degree, each bar holds about one calendar date of births. The first bar's natural date is the excluded crossing day; noon the day after can still land there when the Sun crossed after about midday, but no date-only member does, leaving Springsteen alone.

The Scorpio crossing trims the last bar the same way, to five; Jeff Goldblum, born October 22, 1952, sits there at 29°14′. The tallest bar, the third degree, draws most of its 18 from September 25 births, Will Smith's in 1968 among them. The leap-year cycle, the skipped 1900 leap day and the birthplace's time zone still shift a date's noon Sun, so Mark Hamill, born September 25, 1951, lands in the second degree at 1°53′.

Entertainment leads with 138 members, its share of the list within a point of its share of the roster. Music has 55 where the roster mix predicts about 48, and politics 46 where it predicts about 40. Each gap is about one standard deviation, and with every field compared on twelve Sun pages, some gaps this wide are expected by chance.

Politics here includes Dwight D. Eisenhower, born October 14, 1890, and Margaret Thatcher, born October 13, 1925. Modern astrologers tie Libra to diplomacy; a count this near the roster's share neither supports nor undercuts that.

The expected share, 8.3%, is the fraction of the year the Sun spent in Libra across every hour from 1800 through 2009, a little under a twelfth. On this roster it predicts about 320; there are 332, an excess of 12.

That excess is under one standard deviation of the count a random pick of 3,851 birthdays would give. Neither side is random, though: the roster follows reader attention, which puts 60% of these births between 1940 and 1989, and the even spread assumes a flat birth rate all year, which seasonal waves in national birth statistics contradict. A gap this small carries no weight for or against the sign.

The 1980s supply the most members, 45, and the 1940s and 1960s tie at 41. The 1970s drop to 34, seven under the 1960s, even though the full roster is busiest in that decade. With no roster-wide decade counts in this facet, the shortfall goes untested. Every decade before 1880 is in single figures; the 1810s hold only Franz Liszt, born October 22, 1811. The 2000s have five, partly because nobody under eighteen is listed.

Cards follow the roster's demand score: twelve months of English Wikipedia page views, averaged and logged, with a fixed bonus where birthplace or citizenship is American, Indian, Filipino or British. Zohran Mamdani, Mayor of New York City since 2026, born October 18, 1991, scores highest. John Lennon, born October 9, 1940, is among the researched records; the hour he gave the astrologer Roger Elliot in 1969 puts his Sun at 16°16′.
