Bill Murray’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bill Murray was born in Wilmette, Illinois, on 21 September 1950, a Thursday. The Sun was in Virgo, so Virgo is their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Capricorn until about 04:00 and in Aquarius afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Bill turns 76 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Bill, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four earth, two air, two water and one fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Mutable signs hold four, fixed signs three and cardinal signs two. Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn all fall in Virgo. The tightest aspect is Sun sextile Mars, about 1.0° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury and Jupiter were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 21 September, among them Stephen King, Leonard Cohen and Kareena Kapoor.

Bill Murray’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 28° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Bill Murray is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 04:00, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 04:00: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Bill may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Born after about 04:00: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Bill 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.
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 Wilmette, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Bill Murray’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Bill 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 21 September 1950, computed for Wilmette, Illinois.

Bill Murray’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bill Murray’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Bill Murray's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 04:00, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 04:00: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Bill's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Born after about 04:00: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Bill 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.
For Bill, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
With Venus in Virgo, Bill is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
In Bill's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Aquarius
29° Aquarius 17' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Bill may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Bill 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 Cancer
9° Cancer 13' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Bill alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
16° Libra 22' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Bill among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
19° Leo 01' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Bill, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Bill Murray’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 sextile Mars
about 1.0° at midday
Bill Murray's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Mars square Jupiter
about 2.1° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Bill may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Mercury conjunction Saturn
about 3.6° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Bill'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.
Mars sextile Saturn
about 3.8° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Bill has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.
Sun conjunction Saturn
about 4.8° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Saturn, identity is built through discipline and steady effort, often with an early sense that a place has to be worked for rather than assumed. It tends to make Bill reliable and serious, and the growth comes from believing that they have done enough to rest.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 5.4° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Bill's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
