Leonardo DiCaprio Birth Chart & Astrology — Scorpio Sun

Leonardo DiCaprio's Scorpio Sun is at the core of what makes him one of the most compelling dramatic actors of his era: an intensity, psychological depth, and willingness to go to dark and extreme places in performance that Scorpio uniquely provides. His Libra rising (and likely Libra Moon) adds the aesthetic grace, the beauty, and the collaborative instinct that made him a teen idol before he became a serious Oscar-winning actor.

☀ Sun sign: Scorpio

Scorpio is the sign of depth, transformation, psychological intensity, and the willingness to descend into darkness in pursuit of truth. DiCaprio's most celebrated roles — The Aviator, The Departed, Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Revenant — consistently involve characters experiencing psychological extremity, obsession, or descent. Scorpio Suns choose depth over surface; they are drawn to roles that others might find too dark, too intense, or too demanding. His documented perfectionism and the lengths he goes to for physical transformation into a role are also characteristically Scorpionic.

☽ Moon sign: Libra (likely — birth time unconfirmed)

Libra Moon (likely) contributes the relationship-oriented quality and aesthetic sensibility that run through DiCaprio's life off-screen: his long-term commitment to the film partnerships and collaborations (particularly with director Martin Scorsese), his genuine aesthetic investment in environmentalism as a cause (Libra's attunement to beauty and harmony extends to the natural world), and his characteristic social grace.

↑ Rising sign: Libra (confirmed)

Libra rising explains the physical attractiveness and personal charm that defined DiCaprio's early career. Libra rising natives are often perceived as naturally beautiful and naturally likeable — they create positive first impressions. For DiCaprio, this made him a teen idol in his early films while the Scorpio Sun beneath was already preparing for the more demanding dramatic work that would define his mature career.

Data accuracy note

Birth dates are drawn from publicly available records and are considered accurate. Sun signs are derived from the birth date and are certain. Moon signs marked confirmed are calculated from a documented birth time; those marked likely indicate the Moon was in that sign for most of the birth day, but may be different if the person was born near the Moon's sign change. Rising signs are only listed when a birth time has been publicly documented. We do not speculate on unconfirmed birth times.
