Eric Schmidt’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Eric Schmidt was born on Wednesday, 27 April 1955, in Washington, D.C. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Cancer. Eric turns 71 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Eric, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, four are in water signs, two in fire, two in earth and two in air. By modality the count is five cardinal, four fixed and one mutable. Cancer holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus, about 1.4° 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. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 27 April, among them Anouk Aimée, Dinara Safina and Sally Hawkins. Katsuyuki Kawachi was born on the very same day.

Eric Schmidt’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 6° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Eric Schmidt than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Cancer
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Eric 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 Washington, D.C., at each hour of the day.
Eric Schmidt’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 27 April 1955, computed for Washington, D.C..

Eric Schmidt’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Eric Schmidt’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Eric Schmidt's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
With the Moon in Cancer, Eric'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.
With Mercury in Taurus, Eric is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Eric that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
With Mars in Gemini, Eric is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Cancer
22° Cancer 30' at midday
growth and excess
For Eric, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Eric 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 Cancer
23° Cancer 53' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Eric 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
26° Libra 36' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Eric 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
24° Leo 19' 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 Eric, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Eric Schmidt’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 conjunction Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Eric Schmidt is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 3.8° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Eric pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 4.1° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Eric the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 5.2° at midday
This trine lets Eric 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.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 5.2° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Eric's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Saturn square Pluto
about 5.6° at midday
Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and Eric 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.
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?
