The record
What sets Pelé apart
Pelé took the Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1963, at 23.
Cause of death is recorded as multiple organ dysfunction syndrome; the grave is at Memorial Necropole Ecumenica.
The family line: born to Celeste Arantes and Dondinho, married Assíria Nascimento and Marcia Aoki and raised 3 children.
Wikipedia's editors put Pelé under 1962 FIFA World Cup players, 1970 FIFA World Cup players and Brazilian non-fiction writers.
Paul Kagame (1957) and Ryan Reynolds (1976) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.

What the chart says
Pelé, according to the stars
The vibe
Underneath, Pelé is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Pelé needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
How Pelé wants to be loved
Pelé wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Pelé and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Pelé creates
How Pelé makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Pelé creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: Pelé is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Pelé is here to see what others cannot yet and to say it, an antenna for the mood of the moment. Intuitive, inspiring, sometimes overwhelmed by their own sensitivity, and learning to ground the vision in something real.
Triggers
Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Pelé fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Pelé was born on a day when the Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Pelé’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q12897 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. With no documented birth time this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. The banner above lists what that leaves out. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
Tropical zodiac, whole-sign houses, modern rulers. Aspects on the western_v1 orb policy; minor ones at 1.5° to 2.5°, skipped where a major already holds. Minor bodies from JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, Lilith as mean apogee. Dominance is an AsterNym score — rulerships, dispositors, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.
