Gabriel Byrne’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Gabriel Byrne was born on Friday, 12 May 1950, in Dublin, Ireland. Their zodiac sign is Taurus. The Moon was in Pisces until about 09:20 and in Aries afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Gabriel turns 76 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Gabriel, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in earth signs, two in fire, two in water and one in air. Cardinal signs hold three, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn and Neptune were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 12 May, among them Katharine Hepburn, George Carlin and Rami Malek. Wikidata links Gabriel with one person in the dataset: Ellen Barkin (married in 1988).

Gabriel Byrne’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 21° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Gabriel Byrne 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
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 09:20, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 09:20: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Gabriel may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Born after about 09:20: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Gabriel is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Dublin, Ireland, at each hour of the day.
Gabriel Byrne’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Gabriel 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 May 1950, computed for Dublin, Ireland.

Gabriel Byrne’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gabriel Byrne’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Gabriel Byrne'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.
Moon in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 09:20, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 09:20: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Gabriel more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 09:20: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Gabriel, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
With Mercury in Taurus, Gabriel 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 Gabriel 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, Gabriel is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Pisces
4° Pisces 18' at midday
growth and excess
For Gabriel, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Gabriel may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
2° Cancer 36' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Gabriel 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
15° Libra 04' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Gabriel 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
15° Leo 48' 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 Gabriel, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Gabriel Byrne’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 trine Mars
about 1.3° at midday
Confidence and drive move in the same direction for Gabriel Byrne, so they are likely to act on their goals with very little inner resistance. The energy of a Sun-Mars trine is uncomplicated, and other people notice it and often want to be near it.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Gabriel a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
Mercury trine Mars
about 2.2° at midday
Gabriel'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 Gabriel persuasive when the moment calls for it.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.6° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Gabriel'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.
Venus square Uranus
about 4.7° at midday
In Gabriel's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Sun square Pluto
about 5.3° at midday
With this aspect, Gabriel's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Gabriel chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
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?
