Pisces Sun · Capricorn Moon
Bryan Cranston’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Bryan Cranston was born in Hollywood, California, on 7 March 1956, a Wednesday. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Capricorn. Bryan turns 70 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three fire, three water, two earth and one air, leaving out Venus, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold four, cardinal signs three and mutable signs two. Closest of the aspects is the opposition between Venus and Neptune, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 7 March, among them Sanae Takaichi, Rachel Weisz and Anna Magnani.

Bryan Cranston’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 17° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Bryan Cranston the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Capricorn
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Bryan 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.
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 Hollywood, California, at each hour of the day.
Bryan Cranston’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Bryan 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 7 March 1956, computed for Hollywood, California.

Bryan Cranston’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Bryan Cranston’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Bryan Cranston's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
With the Moon in Capricorn, Bryan'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.
In Bryan's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 13:30, then Taurus
love and values
Born before about 13:30: Venus in Aries
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Bryan that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Born after about 13:30: Venus in Taurus
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Bryan's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Bryan's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Leo
23° Leo 56' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Bryan the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Bryan is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Cancer
28° Cancer 34' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Bryan 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 Scorpio
0° Scorpio 04' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Bryan shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Leo
26° Leo 53' 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 Bryan, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Bryan Cranston’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.
Venus opposition Neptune
about 0.2° at midday
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For Bryan Cranston, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
Mercury opposition Jupiter
about 0.7° at midday
With Mercury opposite Jupiter, Bryan's own considered opinion has to compete with other people's big claims and grand theories, and it is easy to get swept into someone else's certainty. For Bryan, trusting their own careful thinking usually works better than borrowing that confidence.
Venus square Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
In Bryan's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Mercury opposition Pluto
about 2.3° at midday
With Mercury opposite Pluto, other people's attempts to control the story can collide with Bryan's own conclusions and turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the argument itself, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
about 2.9° at midday
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and Bryan is likely to pursue opportunities that change their circumstances outright instead of merely improving them. Ambition comes with it, and the skill is pacing that intensity so that it builds and does not flare and fade.
Venus trine Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Bryan's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
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.
