Alan Alda’s birth chart

Alan Alda's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aquarius

   ♒ 7° Aquarius 37'

   purpose and vitality

   Their purpose is tied to being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, and their vitality rises around causes and communities. The tension is detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It shows up as being the reliable one at meetings and the hardest person to reach one on one.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 7° Aries 31'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Aquarius

   ♒ 14° Aquarius 38' ℞

   mind and voice

   Their thinking is original and a step removed from convention, and they communicate best through ideas rather than small talk. The tension is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has actually moved on. It shows up as being the person in the group who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.

4. ♀Venus in Capricorn

   ♑ 0° Capricorn 09'

   love and values

   They love in a measured, committed way and value stability, ambition and someone they can build a life with. The tension is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. It shows up as showing love through providing and planning more easily than through saying it out loud.

5. ♂Mars in Pisces

   ♓ 11° Pisces 02'

   drive and anger

   They act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and their anger can turn into sadness before they have even named it as anger. The tension is absorbing conflict rather than addressing it. It shows up as needing to physically leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

6. ♃Jupiter in Sagittarius

   ♐ 17° Sagittarius 06'

   growth and excess

   They grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than their usual life. The overreach is promising more than circumstances can deliver, fuelled by genuine optimism rather than dishonesty. It shows up as a faith that things will work out that, more often than average, turns out to be right.

7. ♄Saturn in Pisces

   ♓ 8° Pisces 40'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around boundaries, often after an early habit of taking on more feeling than was ever theirs to carry. The doubt shows up as guilt for protecting their own time and energy. It shows up as a quiet, mature compassion that arrives once they learn that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.

8. ♅Uranus in Taurus

   ♉ 1° Taurus 41'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born across this generation, this placement marks people who reinvent ideas of money, land and security, often through technology that unsettles older systems of ownership. Personally, it can show up as a discomfort with financial norms their parents took for granted.

9. ♆Neptune in Virgo

   ♍ 16° Virgo 21' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people whose collective imagination turns toward healing, service and idealised routines of self-improvement. Personally, it can show up as chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.

10. ♇Pluto in Cancer

    ♋ 26° Cancer 03' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects

How the planets in Alan Alda's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Sun sextile Moon

   0.1° separating

   Their goals and their instincts get along, offering a gentle opening to build confidence when they choose to use it. A little intentional effort turns this ease into real, lasting self-assurance that holds up even when a day goes sideways.

2. Jupiter square Neptune

   0.8° separating

   Their optimism can drift into wishful thinking, leading to plans built more on hope than on a clear read of the situation. The lesson is pairing genuine faith with an honest look at the details.

3. Venus trine Uranus

   1.5° applying

   Their affections and their independence cooperate easily, letting they stay close to people without feeling confined by it. Excitement and stability manage to coexist for they, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.

4. Mars conjunction Saturn

   2.4° separating

   Their drive is disciplined and controlled, and they channel energy into long, patient effort rather than short bursts. This makes they genuinely capable of sustained work, and the edge is not letting caution talk they out of acting when the moment actually calls for it.
