Ed Harris’s birth chart
Born 28 November 1950, in Englewood, New Jersey. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sagittarius Sun · Cancer Moon
Ed Harris’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 November 1950 was a Tuesday: the day Ed Harris was born in Englewood, New Jersey. That makes Ed a Sagittarius, with the Moon in Cancer. Ed turns 76 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in fire signs, three in air, two in water and one in earth. By modality the count is five cardinal, three mutable and two fixed. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Mercury and Pluto, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 28 November, among them Alfonso Cuarón, Anna Nicole Smith and Karen Gillan. George Yonashiro was born on the very same day. Wikidata links Ed with one person in the dataset: Amy Madigan (married in 1983).

Ed Harris’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 5° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Ed Harris forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Ed 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.
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 Englewood, New Jersey, at each hour of the day.
Ed Harris’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 28 November 1950, computed for Englewood, New Jersey.

Ed Harris’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ed Harris’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Ed Harris's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
With the Moon in Cancer, Ed'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.
Ed's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Ed probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Ed's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Aquarius
29° Aquarius 38' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Ed 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.
For Ed, 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.
Uranus in Cancer
8° Cancer 41' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Ed 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.
Neptune in Libra
18° Libra 44' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Ed 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
19° Leo 50' 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 Ed, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Ed Harris’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 trine Pluto
about 0.8° at midday
Ed Harris's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Ed can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Mars square Neptune
about 1.7° at midday
Under this square, drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. It helps Ed to separate the plan itself from the feeling of overwhelm that surrounds it.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 1.9° at midday
Ed's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 3.6° at midday
Who Ed is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 5.3° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Ed rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Sun square Jupiter
about 6.3° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Ed 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.
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.

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?
