Danny Elfman’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Danny Elfman was born in Los Angeles, California, on 29 May 1953, a Friday. That makes Danny a Gemini, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Danny turns 73 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Danny, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Of the ten planets, six are in air signs, three in fire and one in water; none is in earth. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs four and fixed signs one. Four planets stand together in Gemini: Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Saturn and Pluto, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Saturn and Neptune. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.

StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 29 May, among them Bob Hope, Annette Bening and Andrey Arshavin. Wikidata links Danny with one person in the dataset: Bridget Fonda (married in 2003).

Danny Elfman’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Gemini

about 8° Gemini at midday

A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Danny Elfman probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.

Sagittarius

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Danny, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.

Danny Elfman’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Danny Elfman’s private life.

  1. Sun in Gemini

    8° Gemini 05' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    For Danny Elfman, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius

    Sagittarius, all day

    needs and habits

    The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Danny edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.

  3. Mercury in Gemini

    14° Gemini 29' at midday

    mind and voice

    Danny's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.

  4. Venus in Aries

    25° Aries 01' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Danny 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.

  5. Mars in Gemini

    19° Gemini 38' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Gemini, Danny is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini

    4° Gemini 43' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Danny may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.

  7. Saturn in Libra

    21° Libra 03' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    For Danny, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    16° Cancer 19' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Danny 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.

  9. Neptune in Libra

    21° Libra 24' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Danny 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.

  10. Pluto in Leo

    20° Leo 58' 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 Danny, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Danny Elfman’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.

  1. Saturn sextile Pluto

    about 0.1° at midday

    No crisis is needed to bring out Danny Elfman's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.

  2. Saturn conjunction Neptune

    about 0.3° at midday

    Danny tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.

  3. Mars sextile Pluto

    about 1.3° at midday

    This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Danny without constant conflict. Danny is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.

  4. Mars trine Saturn

    about 1.4° at midday

    Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Danny is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.

  5. Mars trine Neptune

    about 1.8° at midday

    An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Danny's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.

  6. Sun conjunction Jupiter

    about 3.4° at midday

    Danny's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.

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?
