Frank Gorshin’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Frank Gorshin was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 5 April 1933, a Wednesday. That made Frank an Aries, with the Moon in Leo. Frank died on 17 May 2005, aged 72. StarMap has no verified birth time for Frank, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against earth three, water two and air one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, two and four. Three planets stand together in Aries: Sun, Venus and Uranus. Three planets stand together in Virgo: Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Saturn: a sextile, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mars, Jupiter and Neptune were retrograde. Mercury changed direction that day, turning direct, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 5 April, among them Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy.

Frank Gorshin’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 15° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Frank Gorshin 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
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Frank up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Frank Gorshin’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Frank 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 5 April 1933, computed for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Frank Gorshin’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Frank Gorshin’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Frank Gorshin'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.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Frank faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Frank did.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Frank 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 Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Frank 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.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Frank is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Virgo
15° Virgo 04' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Frank, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Frank's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Aries
22° Aries 53' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Frank shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Virgo
7° Virgo 52' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Frank shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Cancer
21° Cancer 14' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Frank to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Frank Gorshin’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.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Frank Gorshin 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.
Venus sextile Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Frank's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Frank decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 3.4° at midday
Frank'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 Frank can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 4.1° at midday
Who Frank 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 square Pluto
about 5.8° at midday
With this aspect, Frank's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Frank chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mars conjunction Neptune
about 6.8° at midday
Drive is idealistic and imaginative where Mars meets Neptune, and Frank is likely to act most powerfully in the service of something they believe in. The energy is inspired. What it wants is a big vision grounded in a plan specific enough to carry out.
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?
