Eric Dane’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

9 November 1972 was a Thursday: the day Eric Dane was born in San Francisco, California. That made Eric a Scorpio. The Moon was in Sagittarius until about 15:10 and in Capricorn afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Eric died on 19 February 2026, aged 53. No verified birth time is on file for Eric; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, five are in air signs, two in fire, one in earth and one in water. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs three and fixed signs one. Libra holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Venus, Mars, Uranus and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 9 November, among them Carl Sagan, Imre Kertész and Hedy Lamarr.

Eric Dane’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Scorpio

about 17° Scorpio at midday

A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Eric Dane, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.

All Scorpio Suns

Moon sign

Sagittarius or Capricorn

Sagittarius until about 15:10, then Capricorn (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 15:10: Moon in Sagittarius

A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Eric, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.

Born after about 15:10: Moon in Capricorn

A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Eric may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.

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 San Francisco, California, at each hour of the day.

Eric Dane’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Eric 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 9 November 1972, computed for San Francisco, California.

Eric Dane’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Scorpio

    17° Scorpio 31' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Eric Dane's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.

  2. Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn

    Sagittarius until about 15:10, then Capricorn

    needs and habits

    Born before about 15:10: Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Eric edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.

    Born after about 15:10: Moon in Capricorn

    With the Moon in Capricorn, Eric's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.

  3. Mercury in Sagittarius

    10° Sagittarius 06' at midday

    mind and voice

    Eric'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.

  4. Venus in Libra

    11° Libra 59' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Eric probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Eric may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.

  5. Mars in Libra

    25° Libra 58' at midday

    drive and anger

    In Eric's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.

  6. Jupiter in Capricorn

    6° Capricorn 33' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Eric would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.

  7. Saturn in Gemini

    19° Gemini 19' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Eric that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.

  8. Uranus in Libra

    20° Libra 28' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Eric holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    4° Sagittarius 20' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Eric in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    3° Libra 31' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Eric belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects in Eric Dane’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. Saturn trine Uranus

    about 1.2° at midday

    This trine lets Eric Dane 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.

  2. Mercury sextile Venus

    about 1.9° at midday

    Thinking and affection are easy companions in Eric's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.

  3. Jupiter square Pluto

    about 3.0° at midday

    Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Eric's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.

  4. Venus square Jupiter

    about 5.4° at midday

    Under this square, Eric's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.

  5. Mars conjunction Uranus

    about 5.5° at midday

    Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Eric probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.

  6. Mercury conjunction Neptune

    about 5.8° at midday

    With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Eric's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.

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.
