David Beckham’s birth chart, interpreted by The AstroTwins
The following analysis by celebrity astrologers Tali & Ophi Edut, aka The AstroTwins, highlights the most interesting astrological features of David Beckham’s birth chart for all level astrology readers to understand.
When is David Beckham’s birthday?
David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975.
David Beckham’s Sun is in grounded Taurus
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
David Beckham was born on May 2, 1975, at 6:17 AM in London, England, with his Sun in steady, sensual Taurus. As an earth sign ruled by Venus—the planet of beauty—Taurus gives Beckham his signature cool-headed charm and quiet confidence. He doesn’t need to chase the spotlight; his presence alone commands attention.
But with his Sun tucked away in the twelfth house—the most mysterious, spiritual sector of the zodiac wheel—there’s a private, even elusive, quality to Beckham’s personal identity. Despite being one of the most recognizable men in the world, he’s not one to overshare. This is a placement often found in artists, healers and those who become icons through vibe as much as action.
And it fits: Beckham’s rise to fame wasn’t just about talent—it was mythic. With his Taurus Sun in the 12th house and Jupiter in Aries nearby, the star footballer became a global fantasy, a canvas for other people’s projections of lust, success and style. He wasn’t just a footballer (know as soccer in the U.S.), he was the footballer—the one in the underwear ads, on billboards everywhere. His energy is soft but unshakable—he creates a gravitational pull without saying much at all, especially in his public but somehow private marriage with Spice Girl turned fashion designer, Victoria Beckham.
David Beckham’s natal moon is in stoic Capricorn
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
If his Taurus Sun makes him decadent, David Beckham’s Capricorn moon gives him gravitas. Emotionally, this placement can be cool, composed and even hard to read—but make no mistake: there’s devotion behind the armor. The Manchester United superstar’s moon sits in his tenth house of expertise, unstoppability and legacy. When he sets his sights on a goal, he gives his full passion to it. His first team debut was at 17 and he smashed records on the field and with his record earnings throughout his career, and solidifying himself as a cultural icon in his union with Posh Spice.
This lunar placement often shows up in people who had to grow up fast—and who carry a sense of emotional responsibility well into adulthood. Beckham’s version? Call him Zaddy. He’s paternal, protective and deeply invested in the people he loves, especially when it comes to his family. Whether he’s coaching the sidelines at a youth soccer match or beaming in his his son, Brooklyn’s, wedding portraits, Beckham isn’t just playing “dad”—he’s building a legacy. His Capricorn Moon shows up in those quiet but monumental ways: always being there and helping to keep the family orbit in motion.

David Beckham’s rising sign is versatile Gemini
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
With his Gemini rising sign, David Beckham enters the world with curiosity and an ever-youthful vibe. Gemini Risings are often adaptable and expressive, and the sexy-underwear model version of this placement is polished and press-ready. From his sharp suits to his easy grin, his presence is both elegant and approachable—a combination that helped him evolve from athlete to style icon to humanitarian.
That said, Gemini energy isn’t always settled. There’s a curious, restless streak here. And with Mercury as his chart ruler, he may reinvent often, but he does it with purpose. The result? A man who keeps us guessing while always staying on-brand. His career trajectory mirrors these qualities, showcasing a restless pursuit of new challenges and a flair for reinvention.
Case in point: the footballer began his professional career with Manchester United in 1992, contributing to multiple league titles and the iconic 1999 treble-winning season; however, true to his Gemini ascendant’s love for change, he departed in 2003 to join Real Madrid. Then, in 2007, he went across the pond to sign with LA Galaxy in the U.S. Major League Soccer, a move that raised eyebrows and sparked debates. Critics questioned his commitment, especially when he took European gigs in off-seasons. This led to tension with Galaxy fans, who felt he lacked dedication to the team.
Despite the controversies, Beckham’s Gemini adaptability allowed him to navigate, reinventing his image and maintaining his status as a global icon at every step until his retirement from football in 2013 (from Paris Saint-Germain). His ability to exude charm played a significant role in easing tensions with fans and winning over critics for his career decisions, which reflect the Gemini rising’s penchant for keeping the public guessing and embracing the unexpected.
David Beckham’s Jupiter is in fiery Aries: Larger than life
•Jupiter in your birth chart reveals where you’re adventurous and willing to take risks•
Beckham’s Jupiter—the planet of abundance, fame and fortune—is in athletic Aries, an incredible placement for one of the world’s most awe-inspired and talented athletes. Aries is assertive, self-directed and instinctive. When Jupiter lands here, the spotlight tends to follow—and not just because of talent. This is a placement that magnetizes public attention through sheer presence.
Add in an opposition to Pluto, planet of power and seduction, and you get a chart signature that screams sex symbol. There’s intensity here, the kind that turns athletes into brands and underwear campaigns into cultural moments.
Beckham made headlines by becoming the face (and body) of Emporio Armani’s underwear campaign in 2007. The black-and-white images, captured by renowned fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, showed his athletic physique and redefined the intersection of sports and fashion. Giorgio Armani himself said to People magazine: “He represents a notion of modern masculinity: as a sports hero, husband, and father.”
At 49, he partnered with Hugo Boss for the BOSS ONE Bodywear campaign, once again collaborating with Mert and Marcus. The campaign underscores his timeless appeal, qualities emblematic of Jupiter’s expansive energy in the assertive sign of Aries. This placement not only fuels his continuous evolution but also inspires others to embrace change with confidence.
David Beckham’s Venus in Gemini: The eternal flirt
•Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance while Mars represents lust, motivation and erotic instincts.
Charming, quick-witted, and a little naughty, David Beckham’s Venus in Gemini gives him a magnetic blend of intellect and intrigue when it comes to love. Venus in this air sign craves stimulation, playfulness and newness. It’s the sign of the eternal flirt—someone who falls in love with your mind first, but also needs room to breathe.
But with this placement, curiosity can sometimes outweigh commitment—especially in moments of emotional disconnection. Are the infidelity rumors true? A birth chart doesn’t confirm specifics, but Venus in Gemini can suggest a wandering heart, or at the very least, moments of temptation. This placement needs variety and mental connection to stay engaged. It doesn’t mean disloyalty—it just means loyalty has to be interesting.
Mars in Pisces: Hardcore romantic
That said, David Beckham isn’t all air and flirt. His Mars—the planet of lust, pursuit and erotic energy—is in dreamy Pisces. This is the hopeless romantic, the soft-hearted lover who longs for soul-deep intimacy and timeless connection. It’s a placement that yearns for magic in relationships, not just chemistry.
Together, this Venus-Mars combo creates a man who’s both flirtatious and deeply sentimental—someone who may have faced temptation, but ultimately values love that feels transcendent. The Beckham we see in public—the handwritten love notes to Victoria, the family-first devotion with their four children (Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper)—reflects that Pisces Mars in motion. He’s not just in love; he believes in it.

David Beckham’s Neptune ‘two-sided’ with relationships
•Neptune reveals where your imagination reigns supreme and where you can heal and do inner work•
David Beckham’s Neptune sits in Sagittarius in his seventh house—the zone of committed partnerships, marriage and long-term bonds. Neptune here creates the ultimate romantic: someone who dreams of epic love stories, soul-deep connection and the kind of relationship that feels fated.
This is the placement of a man who likely idealized marriage from a young age. DB wasn’t looking for just a relationship—he was seeking a union that felt cinematic. The dream wedding. The headline-making romance. The iconic couple. And he got all that and more with wife, Victoria Beckham.
From the outside, the Beckham marriage has always felt larger than life: the Spice Girl and the soccer star, turning the tabloids into a love story of their own. But with Neptune in the 7th house, the fantasy runs deeper. Beckham doesn’t just play the part of devoted husband—he believes in the role. Neptune here can cast a glamorous, even ethereal glow over one’s partner, seeing them as more than human—sometimes to the point of projection.
But Neptune is a two-sided planet. While it gifts spiritual chemistry and poetic connection, it can also blur boundaries and conceal the truth. This placement can create a kind of emotional fog in relationships—one where idealism outweighs reality, and where disappointment can follow if the fantasy isn’t fully aligned with the day-to-day.
What makes Beckham’s Neptune even more nuanced? It’s retrograde. This suggests that much of his relationship idealism is internalized—he may be incredibly private about his emotional world, even with his spouse. There’s a sacredness to love here, but also a need to retreat, to process away from the public eye.
David Beckham’s South Node in Gemini: A mind always ‘on’
•Astrologers use the nodes of the moon (found opposite each other in your birth chart) to determine where your destiny lies (North node) and what you were in past lifetimes (South node).
David Beckham’s South Node sits in restless, cerebral Gemini—and in his first house of identity and self-perception. This placement is indicative of someone whose mind is always on, tuned in to every detail.
And it tracks: Beckham has spoken openly about his struggles with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, sharing how he feels compelled to organize, straighten and perfect things in his environment. That’s Gemini South Node energy in its most extreme form—a mind so active to organize that stillness becomes a challenge.
In the first house, this nodal placement suggests that he’s carried a strong sense of self-awareness into this lifetime—one that can tilt into self-consciousness or fixation. Gemini here can be brilliant and charismatic, but also hyper-aware of how he’s coming across. The temptation? To keep tweaking, editing, perfecting—to “think” his way to safety or control.
But his North Node, which sits across the sky in Sagittarius in the seventh house, asks for something different: to trust more, to zoom out and embrace the bigger picture. Where Gemini wants facts, Sagittarius seeks meaning. Where the first house says, “I need to manage this,” the seventh house says, “Let’s experience this.”
For Beckham, part of his soul’s evolution lies in releasing the need to control every detail of his image, and instead leaning into trust. And with a Sagittarius North Node, his growth arc is about becoming a messenger of something bigger than himself. A storyteller. A global citizen. A partner who’s in it for the shared adventure.
