David Caruso’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
David Caruso was born on Saturday, 7 January 1956, in Forest Hills, New York. That makes David a Capricorn, with the Moon in Scorpio. David turns 70 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for David, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Water carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against fire two, earth two and air two. Fixed signs hold eight, cardinal signs one and mutable signs one. Scorpio holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Moon, Mars, Saturn and Neptune. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Jupiter and Neptune, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 7 January, among them Jeremy Renner, Nicolas Cage and Ichirou Mizuki.

David Caruso’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 16° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry David Caruso up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Scorpio
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For David 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 Forest Hills, New York, at each hour of the day.

David Caruso’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Caruso’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, David Caruso is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
For David, 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.
In David'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 Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. David may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In David's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Virgo
0° Virgo 49' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For David, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for David letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Leo
0° Leo 52' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
David 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
0° Scorpio 14' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that David 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
28° Leo 16' 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 David, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in David Caruso’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.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 0.6° at midday
Inspired ideas are within David Caruso's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Saturn square Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and David may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 1.3° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to David it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 1.3° at midday
This trine lets David 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.
Mars square Pluto
about 2.5° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, David's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
about 2.6° at midday
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and David 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.
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?
