With no hour recorded, Keanu Reeves's rising sign is unknown; his Sun sat in Virgo, his Moon in Cancer. No record, interview, news report or biography gives his birth hour, so the chart rests on the date alone. Wikipedia, Wikidata and the German National Library agree on September 2, 1964, in Beirut. The one circulating hour, 5:41 AM, is a rectification credited to Lois Rodden's collection and traced by Astrotheme to a vanished fan-site post.

That date settles a Virgo Sun and a Cancer Moon, keeps Mercury retrograde from one midnight to the next, as in about one chart in 5 born in the 1960s, and leaves fire without a planet, an absence found in about one chart in 11 from that decade.

The Moon in Cancer all day, overtaking Mars and then Venus

The Moon advanced from 12°56′ Cancer to 27°15′ Cancer, 2°44′ short of Leo, so its sign holds at any hour. The clock decides whether it had passed Mars (afternoon) and Venus (after sunset), whether it was still out of bounds (23°58′ north at the start, beyond the 23°26′ limit), and whether Last Quarter had become Balsamic, as it did in about the final 3 hours 16 minutes.

Every sign rose over Beirut that day; 5:41 AM lands mid-Virgo

Each sign held the horizon for 1 hour 20 minutes (Pisces, Aries) to 2 hours 24 minutes (Leo, Scorpio), Cancer at both ends of the date. The rising sign, every planet's house and, with sunrise at 5:12 AM and sunset at 6:02 PM, the chart's sect all stay open.

Virgo rose from 4:29 AM to 6:52 AM; 5:41 AM sits within a minute of that window's midpoint, matching Astrotheme's note about mid-Virgo.

Mercury's backward motion heads eight features fixed for the whole date

Mercury enters the list as retrograde, combust and at home in Virgo; the element tally adds empty fire, empty air and crowded water; Cancer adds the Moon at home and Mars fallen. None depends on the hour; the ranking weighs tradition against how seldom simulated 1960s births show each.

Mercury retrograde, combust and at home in Virgo; Mars fallen in Cancer

Mercury slid back from 10°11′ Virgo to 9°14′ Virgo, about 0°56′ a day, retrograde as in about one chart in 5. Virgo gives it domicile and exaltation; either of its home signs holds Mercury in about one chart in 6, and 0°43′ from the Sun at the first midnight, it was combust, like about one chart in 4.

The Sun overtook it that morning. For about 7 hours 6 minutes, from some 18 minutes after sunrise, Mercury stood within 0°17′ of the Sun's longitude, the cazimi state tradition counts as strength, met in about one chart in 120; the rectified 5:41 AM falls just inside it.

Cancer holds the Moon in its own sign, as in about one chart in 12, and also hosts Mars (21°39′ Cancer) in its fall, as in about one chart in 9; classical authors judge a fallen planet partly by its sign's ruler, here that dignified Moon.

The Sun catches Mercury in Virgo and falls just short of Uranus

Of twelve all-day aspects, the Sun–Mercury conjunction is the closest and went exact, as did Moon–Mars that afternoon; the Sun–Uranus conjunction closed to under an arc-minute but perfected only after the date ended. Pluto, 3°25′ past Uranus, forms the Uranus–Pluto conjunction modern astrologers call generational. All seven part-day aspects involve the Moon; its sextiles to the Sun, Mercury and Uranus ended by 4:53 AM, before sunrise.

Earth and water share every planet; fire and air stand empty

Earth holds the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto; water the Moon, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Neptune. An empty fire column turns up in about one chart in 11, an empty air column in about one chart in 7, and five water planets in about one chart in 13. With Saturn alone across the wheel from the rest, the ring forms a bucket, as in about one chart in 4.

Ferdinand Marcos, the closest match on Sun and Moon

Ferdinand Marcos's chart comes closest, with the same Virgo Sun and Cancer Moon. Zendaya's Sun and Venus each fall within a degree of Reeves's; Warren Buffett shares the Sun sign, Harrison Ford the Moon sign. The roster lists no other birth on that date.

Lahiri positions: a Leo Sun and a Moon that changed sign near sunset

Once the Lahiri ayanamsa of 23°21′ is taken off, all four Virgo planets drop back into Leo; Gemini receives Mars, Aquarius takes Saturn and Libra gets Neptune, filling sidereal fire and air. The sidereal Moon turned from Gemini to Cancer about 34 minutes before sunset, long after the rectified 5:41 AM.

Questions about Keanu Reeves’s birth chart

What is Keanu Reeves's zodiac sign?

Virgo. Beirut's whole day of September 2, 1964 kept the Sun in Virgo, untouched by the missing hour.

What is Keanu Reeves's Moon sign?

Cancer at any hour. The Moon moved from 12°56′ to 27°15′ of Cancer, its own sign, reaching Leo only the next day. The hour would fix its degree, its phase and whether it had passed Mars and Venus.

Is Keanu Reeves's birth time known?

No. The sources that agree on the date give no hour, so the rising sign and houses stay open. The lone circulating time, 5:41 AM, was rectified from a fan-site report naming Virgo as Reeves's rising sign; neither collection listing it cites a record.

What rising sign could Keanu Reeves have?

Any sign, since each rose over Beirut that day. The reported Virgo claim, which no independent source backs, would put the birth between 4:29 AM and 6:52 AM.

Was Mercury retrograde when Keanu Reeves was born?

Yes, all day, from 10°11′ Virgo back to 9°14′ Virgo, this chart's top-ranked feature at about one chart in 5 born in the 1960s. Mercury passed between Earth and the Sun that morning, so the hour also decides whether it was combust or cazimi.

What are Keanu Reeves's sidereal Sun and Moon signs?

In the Lahiri zodiac the Sun is in Leo all day. The Moon is in Gemini until late afternoon, then Cancer, so the sidereal Moon sign needs the hour; the rectified 5:41 AM gives Gemini.

Computing a Beirut chart without a clock time

With no hospital named, the chart uses Beirut's coordinates, 33°53′ N, 35°30′ E, on Eastern European Time (UTC+2); Lebanon kept no summer time in 1964. Precise astronomical calculations place every body at both Beirut midnights; rising times and part-day aspects are solved directly, other in-day moments interpolated linearly, and rates drawn from simulated 1960s births.
