Pelé (born October 23, 1940, Três Corações, Brazil; died 2022), was a Brazilian footballer. Pelé played for Brazil men's national football team, Santos F.C. and Bauru Atlético Clube. Pelé's honours include Officer of the Order of Ouissam Alaouite, Silver Olympic Order and Laureus Lifetime Achievement Award.

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.

Dedicate a star to Pelé
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Três Corações on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
Libra or Scorpio Sun
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.
Metal Dragon
Metal DragonAmbition with charisma attached.
Pelé was born on October 23, 1940, which falls in a Metal Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 11
Life Path 11Bright signal, thin skin.
Pelé's birth date, October 23, 1940, reduces to Life Path 11 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 11 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with intuition, sensitivity and noticing patterns before they become obvious. Numerologists read it as an intensified 2: the partner's gifts under pressure. The corresponding tension is nervous strain, with the caution that perceiving more than most people can be exhausting to carry.
What stands out in Pelé’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Pelé's date-only chart is Jupiter conjunction Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, sit together in Taurus, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Five of the ten planets are in Earth signs.
Pelé’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Pelé, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 15° to 28° Cancer depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Aspects across every possible birth time
Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.
stableJupiterconjunctionSaturn0.2° orb
Pelé’s growth and discipline act as one. Wherever one goes, the other is already there.
stableMercuryoppositionUranus0.5° to 1.4° orb
Pelé’s mind pulls against their need for freedom from across the wheel. A see-saw looking for balance, often played out through other people.
stableUranustrineNeptune1.4° orb
Pelé’s need for freedom flows straight into their imagination. A talent so smooth it can go unnoticed.
stableMercurysextileNeptune2.0° to 2.8° orb
Pelé’s mind opens doors for their imagination.

Pelé’s core identity grinds against their depths. The angle that irritates, and the one that teaches.

Pelé’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironLeo 1°10′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Leo is read as a sore spot around being seen. The tradition has Pelé performing through the doubt rather than waiting for it to lift.
⚳ CeresScorpio 7°33′ (moves 0.44° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Pelé is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosCapricorn 11°04′ (moves 0.47° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Pelé is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Pisces 23°09′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Pelé needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 14°56′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Pelé carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Eros square Mars 0.6°
- Eros trine Jupiter 1.0°
- Hygiea trine Mercury 1.0°
- Chiron square Sun 1.1°
- Eros trine Saturn 1.1°
- Hygiea sextile Uranus 1.9°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Pelé’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun, Mercury; 1 major aspect
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Venus, Neptune; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Pelé is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Pelé’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Venus semi-square Pluto 0.1°
- Mars quincunx Jupiter 0.4°
- Mars quincunx Saturn 0.5°
- Jupiter sesquiquadrate Neptune 0.5°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Neptune 0.7°
- Mars sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Pelé, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Pelé, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Pelé’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q12897, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

Quick answers about Pelé’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Pelé?
- 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. In the Chinese zodiac they were a Metal Dragon.
- What was Pelé's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Dragon, with the Metal element, from the Chinese lunar year of the October 23, 1940 birth.
- What time was Pelé born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- How tall was Pelé?
- Pelé was 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in) tall, per the height recorded on Wikidata.
- What was Pelé's Life Path number?
- Life Path 11, calculated in numerology from the October 23, 1940 birth date.
- What was Pelé's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Leo at 1°. Position from JPL Horizons for the October 23, 1940 birth date.
- Where was Pelé's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Aries at 14°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Pelé's dominant planet?
- Venus, on AsterNym's dominance score (6 points: disposes Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects). Pluto is second and Mercury third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
