Dan Castellaneta’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Dan Castellaneta was born on Tuesday, 29 October 1957, in Chicago, Illinois. The Sun was in Scorpio, so Scorpio is their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 15:30, from Capricorn to Aquarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Dan turns 69 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 water, two in air and one in earth. Fixed signs hold four, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. Three planets stand together in Scorpio: Sun, Mercury and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 29 October, among them Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Winona Ryder and Edwin van der Sar.

Dan Castellaneta’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
about 6° Scorpio at midday
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Dan Castellaneta, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 15:30, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:30: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Dan 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 15:30: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Dan 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 Chicago, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Dan Castellaneta’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Dan 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 29 October 1957, computed for Chicago, Illinois.

Dan Castellaneta’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Dan Castellaneta’s private life.
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Dan Castellaneta's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 15:30, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 15:30: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Dan'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 15:30: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Dan 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.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Dan tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Dan probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
In Dan'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 Libra
17° Libra 18' at midday
growth and excess
In Dan's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
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, Dan 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 Leo
11° Leo 30' at midday
freedom, generational
Dan shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
2° Scorpio 28' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Dan 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 Virgo
2° Virgo 00' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Dan and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Dan Castellaneta’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.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.7° at midday
This trine lets Dan Castellaneta build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Venus sextile Mars
about 1.1° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Dan go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Mercury square Uranus
about 1.9° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Dan may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.6° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Dan'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.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 3.6° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Dan's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 4.0° at midday
Dan's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
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.
