Ed O'Neill’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Ed O'Neill was born on Friday, 12 April 1946, in Youngstown. The Sun was in Aries, so Aries is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Virgo. Ed turns 80 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Ed; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is three air, three water, two fire and two earth. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs three and fixed signs two. Closest of the aspects is the square between Venus and Pluto, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 21 other people born on 12 April, among them Montserrat Caballé, Lisa Gerrard and David Letterman.

Ed O'Neill’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 22° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Ed O'Neill 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.
Moon sign
Virgo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Ed is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 Youngstown at each hour of the day.
Ed O'Neill’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ed yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 12 April 1946, computed for Youngstown.

Ed O'Neill’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ed O'Neill’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Ed O'Neill'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.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Ed's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Ed's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Ed 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.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Ed'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 Ed, 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 Libra
22° Libra 31' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Ed's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Emotional security is where Ed's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Gemini
14° Gemini 31' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Ed 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
6° Libra 50' 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
9° Leo 27' 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 O'Neill’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.
Venus square Pluto
about 0.0° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Ed O'Neill chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Sun opposition Jupiter
about 0.3° at midday
The Sun opposite Jupiter can leave Ed torn between their own direction and the draw of other people's philosophies, mentors and offers. Finding their own confidence rather than borrowing someone else's is what turns this pull into growth they can stand behind.
Mercury trine Mars
about 2.4° at midday
Ed's thinking and drive support each other, and it shows in decisions communicated with clarity and confidence. Debate and quick thinking come easily with Mercury trine Mars, which makes Ed persuasive when the moment calls for it.
Mars square Jupiter
about 3.2° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Ed may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Sun square Mars
about 3.6° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Ed's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Sun square Saturn
about 3.7° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Ed pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
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?
