Born 12 September 1957, in Frankfurt, Germany. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Hans Zimmer’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Hans Zimmer was born in Frankfurt, Germany, on 12 September 1957, a Thursday. That makes Hans a Virgo. The Moon left Aries for Taurus at about 21:55 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Hans turns 69 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Hans, 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 air and one in water. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs two and fixed signs two. Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto all fall in Virgo. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Neptune 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. Mercury was retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 25 other people born on 12 September, among them Stanisław Lem, Paul Walker and Jesse Owens.

Hans Zimmer’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 19° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Hans Zimmer is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 21:55, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 21:55: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Hans 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.
Born after about 21:55: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Hans, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Frankfurt, Germany, at each hour of the day.
Hans Zimmer’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Hans 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 September 1957, computed for Frankfurt, Germany.

Hans Zimmer’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Hans Zimmer’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Hans Zimmer's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.

Aries until about 21:55, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 21:55: 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 Hans, 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.
Born after about 21:55: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Hans more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
For Hans, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Hans 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. Hans may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
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, Hans is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Libra
7° Libra 10' at midday
growth and excess
In Hans'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.
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Hans is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
9° Leo 49' at midday
freedom, generational
Hans shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
0° Scorpio 49' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Hans shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
0° Virgo 47' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Hans and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Hans Zimmer’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 sextile Saturn
about 1.3° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Hans Zimmer's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
This trine lets Hans 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.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 2.7° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Hans can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Venus sextile Pluto
about 2.9° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Hans's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Venus conjunction Neptune
about 2.9° at midday
Love, for Hans, is likely to be romantic and idealistic, drawn to a kind of connection that feels almost transcendent. Venus conjunct Neptune brings tenderness and imagination, along with the task of seeing a partner clearly and not only through the ideal built around them.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 3.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Hans's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
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.
