Dennis Quaid’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

9 April 1954 was a Friday: the day Dennis Quaid was born in Houston, Texas. That makes Dennis an Aries, with the Moon in Cancer. Dennis turns 72 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Dennis; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

By element the count is four water, three fire, two air and one earth. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. The tightest aspect is Sun square Uranus, about 0.3° 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: Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 9 April, among them Jean-Paul Belmondo, Kristen Stewart and Hugh Hefner. Wikidata links Dennis with one person in the dataset: Meg Ryan (married in 1991, marriage ended in 2001).

Dennis Quaid’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Aries

about 19° Aries at midday

An Aries Sun starts things. For Dennis Quaid that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.

All Aries Suns

Moon sign

Cancer

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

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Dennis that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.

Dennis Quaid’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Aries

    19° Aries 20' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Aries, Dennis Quaid's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.

  2. Moon in Cancer

    Cancer, all day

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Cancer, Dennis's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.

  3. Mercury in Pisces

    24° Pisces 28' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Dennis is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.

  4. Venus in Taurus

    6° Taurus 28' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Dennis'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.

  5. Mars in Sagittarius

    28° Sagittarius 53' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Dennis may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

  6. Jupiter in Gemini

    21° Gemini 30' 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. Dennis 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 Scorpio

    7° Scorpio 18' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Dennis 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.

  8. Uranus in Cancer

    19° Cancer 04' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Dennis 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

    24° Libra 50' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Dennis 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

    22° Leo 40' 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 Dennis, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects in Dennis Quaid’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. Sun square Uranus

    about 0.3° at midday

    When the Sun is square Uranus, Dennis Quaid'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.

  2. Venus opposition Saturn

    about 0.8° at midday

    The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Dennis, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.

  3. Jupiter sextile Pluto

    about 1.2° at midday

    Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Dennis's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.

  4. Sun sextile Jupiter

    about 2.2° at midday

    Optimism is part of who Dennis is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.

  5. Mercury square Jupiter

    about 3.0° at midday

    Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Dennis can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.

  6. Jupiter trine Neptune

    about 3.3° at midday

    Optimism and imagination tend to flow together for Dennis, and what comes of it is an inspired, generous vision of what is possible. Hope and creativity tend to serve them well under this trine, especially when both are allowed to guide a project and neither is second-guessed.

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.

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?
