Leo Sun · Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Andy Samberg’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Andy Samberg was born in Berkeley, California, on 18 August 1978, a Friday. Their zodiac sign is Leo. The Moon changed sign at about 11:05, from Aquarius to Pisces; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Andy turns 48 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in air, two in water and one in earth. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs two. Three planets stand together in Libra: Venus, Mars and Pluto. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Mercury, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury and Neptune were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 18 August, among them Roman Polanski, Robert Redford and Edward Norton.

Andy Samberg’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 25° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Andy Samberg that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 11:05, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 11:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Andy is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
Born after about 11:05: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Andy may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Berkeley, California, at each hour of the day.
Andy Samberg’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Andy yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 18 August 1978, computed for Berkeley, California.

Andy Samberg’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Andy Samberg’s private life.
Purpose for Andy Samberg is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 11:05, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 11:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Andy is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Born after about 11:05: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Andy more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Leo gives Andy a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Andy more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Andy probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Andy may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
In Andy's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Cancer
26° Cancer 28' at midday
growth and excess
For Andy, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Andy may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
12° Scorpio 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Andy's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
15° Sagittarius 33' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Andy in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
14° Libra 43' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Andy belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Andy Samberg’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.1° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Andy Samberg's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 2.2° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Andy, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 3.5° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Andy is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 4.4° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for Andy, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 5.7° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Andy is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 7.3° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Andy's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
