Danny Trejo’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Danny Trejo was born in Maywood, California, on 16 May 1944, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Pisces. Danny turns 82 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Danny; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the ten planets, three are in earth signs, three in air, two in fire and two in water. Fixed signs hold five, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. Three planets stand together in Taurus: Sun, Mercury and Venus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Pluto: a square, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Neptune was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.

Danny Trejo’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 25° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Danny Trejo than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, Danny 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 Maywood, California, at each hour of the day.

Danny Trejo’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Danny Trejo’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Danny Trejo's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
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 Danny more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
With Mercury in Taurus, Danny is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Danny'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 Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Danny, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Leo
18° Leo 43' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Danny 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 Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Danny that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Gemini
8° Gemini 07' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Danny and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
1° Libra 38' 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.
Pluto in Leo
6° Leo 34' 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 Trejo’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.
Mercury square Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Danny Trejo looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Sun sextile Mars
about 0.9° at midday
Danny'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.
Venus square Jupiter
about 4.1° at midday
Under this square, Danny's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Sun trine Neptune
about 5.9° at midday
Danny's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Saturn square Neptune
about 6.0° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Danny that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
Sun square Jupiter
about 7.0° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Danny may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
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?
