On 11 August 1983 the moon was 3 days into the lunar cycle, with the light still building, showing 10.9% of its face. That month's full moon — traditionally called the Sturgeon Moon — arrived 12 days later, on 23 August 1983.

Venus, Uranus and Neptune were retrograde that day — appearing, from Earth, to move backwards against the stars. It is an effect of the two planets' relative speeds rather than a change in direction, and astrologers read it as a period of review rather than progress.

Moon in Virgo ♍

The moon was passing through Virgo on 11 August 1983, while the sun sat in Leo — which is why Chris Hemsworth's star sign is Leo. The two rarely coincide: the sun takes a month to cross a sign and the moon takes about two and a half days.

Where the sun sign is read as the outward character, the moon sign is read as the emotional register underneath it — the part that copes by being useful and by putting something in order, and can turn worry into a task list.

Aspects that day

Aspects are the angles bodies form with each other. These were within orb on 11 August 1983:

What a Waxing Crescent birth moon means

The moon is gathering itself. So are you. Small actions taken now compound quietly — stay consistent and tend to what you started.

Traits of the Waxing Crescent

Waxing Crescent births bring determination and optimism. These individuals are builders at heart — they commit to their intentions with faith and keep going even when results are not yet visible. Chris Hemsworth carries this steady, hopeful drive that keeps them moving forward through uncertainty.

How to read all this

Every figure on this page is calculated from Chris Hemsworth's date of birth — the phase, the illumination percentage, the positions and the aspects are astronomy, and they would be the same whoever was born that day. The character readings attached to them are symbolic tradition, not measurement, and are best treated as prompts for reflection rather than claims about a person.

Two things are deliberately missing. Without a birth time we cannot give a rising sign or house placements, since both change through the day — the ascendant shifts roughly every two hours. And without a birthplace there are no moonrise or moonset times, which depend on latitude. Anywhere you see those quoted for a public figure without a documented birth certificate time, treat them with caution.
