Roald Dahl, screenwriter, was born on September 13, 1916 in Llandaff. With the Sun in Virgo, Roald's chart begins from a Virgo core. Without a recorded birth time, the Moon and angles can't be pinned precisely, but the planetary placements by date still hold.

Astrological profile

The Virgo Sun at a late degree endows the chart with a precise, service‑oriented mindset that values order, practicality and careful analysis. Even without a definite time, the approximation of an Aries Moon suggests a contrasting emotional tone: impulses are quick, direct and assertive, often pushing the native toward independent action before the mind can catalog the details. This blend of meticulous rationality with spontaneous fire creates a dynamic tension between measured planning and an urge to break out of routine, a pattern that colors interpersonal relationships and self‑expression.

Mercury in Libra adds a diplomatic, fairness‑seeking communication style, favoring balanced dialogue and aesthetic refinement. Venus in Leo, conjunct Neptune, lights up the chart with a generous, dramatic affection for beauty and a vivid imagination, while Mars in Scorpio supplies intense willpower and a capacity for deep emotional investigation. Jupiter’s retrograde Taurus placement points to inwardly cultivated growth through material steadiness and patient value‑building, whereas Saturn in Cancer grounds the individual in emotional responsibility and a need for secure foundations. Uranus in Aquarius, also retrograde, reinforces a rebellious, unconventional intellect that resists conformity, and Pluto’s early‑degree Cancer placement signals profound transformative experiences tied to nurturing and family themes. Together these elements portray a mind that is both analytically exacting and ardently inventive, driven by a blend of disciplined service and heroic self‑assertion.
