Virgo Sun · Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Darryl F. Zanuck’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Darryl F. Zanuck was born in Wahoo, Nebraska, on 5 September 1902, a Friday. That made them a Virgo. The Moon was in Libra until about 20:25 and in Scorpio afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. They died on 22 December 1979, aged 77. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in air, two in earth and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, three and three. The tightest aspect is Mercury square Neptune, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter and Saturn were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 5 September, among them Freddie Mercury, Michael Keaton and Werner Herzog.

Darryl F. Zanuck’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 12° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Darryl F. Zanuck 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
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 20:25, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 20:25: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Darryl F. Zanuck, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 20:25: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Darryl F. Zanuck that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Wahoo, Nebraska, at each hour of the day.
Darryl F. Zanuck’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 5 September 1902, computed for Wahoo, Nebraska.

Darryl F. Zanuck’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Darryl F. Zanuck’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Darryl F. Zanuck'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 Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 20:25, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 20:25: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Darryl F. Zanuck's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 20:25: Moon in Scorpio
For Darryl F. Zanuck, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Darryl F. Zanuck tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Darryl F. Zanuck, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Darryl F. Zanuck its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aquarius
8° Aquarius 43' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Darryl F. Zanuck 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.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Darryl F. Zanuck, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Sagittarius
17° Sagittarius 18' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Darryl F. Zanuck than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Cancer
3° Cancer 26' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Darryl F. Zanuck and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
19° Gemini 39' at midday
power, generational
Darryl F. Zanuck shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Darryl F. Zanuck’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 Neptune
about 0.9° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Darryl F. Zanuck is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Venus sextile Pluto
about 1.1° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Darryl F. Zanuck's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 1.8° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Darryl F. Zanuck, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Venus trine Uranus
about 3.4° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Darryl F. Zanuck, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.
Sun square Uranus
about 5.1° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, Darryl F. Zanuck's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
Sun square Pluto
about 7.4° at midday
With this aspect, Darryl F. Zanuck's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Darryl F. Zanuck chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
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.
