John de Lancie’s birth chart
Born 20 March 1948, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Pisces or Aries · Moon in Cancer or Leo
John de Lancie’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
20 March 1948 was a Saturday: the day John de Lancie was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries at about 11:55 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Pisces for a birth before then, Aries after. The Moon was in Cancer until about 14:00 and in Leo afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. John turns 78 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, two in air, one in earth and one in water. By modality the count is four fixed, three mutable and one cardinal. Mars, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Leo. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 20 March, among them Chester Bennington, Carl Reiner and Fernando Torres.

John de Lancie’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 11:55, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 11:55: Sun in Pisces
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make John de Lancie the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Born after about 11:55: Sun in Aries
An Aries Sun starts things. For John 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
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 14:00, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:00: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For John 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.
Born after about 14:00: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill John 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 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
John de Lancie’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for John 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 20 March 1948, computed for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 20 March 1948, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Pisces into Aries at about 11:55, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

John de Lancie’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about John de Lancie’s private life.
Sun in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 11:55, then Aries
purpose and vitality
Born before about 11:55: Sun in Pisces
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and John de Lancie's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
Born after about 11:55: Sun in Aries
With the Sun in Aries, John'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.
Moon in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 14:00, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 14:00: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, John'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.
Born after about 14:00: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain John faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small John did.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and John 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 Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in John's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for John its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
27° Sagittarius 55' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, John is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in John's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.
Uranus in Gemini
22° Gemini 17' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by John and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
11° Libra 56' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, John 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
12° Leo 49' 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 John, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in John de Lancie’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.
Venus square Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever John de Lancie chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Sun square Jupiter
about 2.1° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect John may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mars conjunction Saturn
about 2.2° at midday
With Mars conjunct Saturn, drive is disciplined and controlled, and John is likely to channel energy into long, patient effort in place of short bursts. It makes them capable of sustained work. The risk is that caution talks them out of acting when the moment calls for it.
Venus square Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For John that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
about 3.6° at midday
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For John the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
Mars sextile Uranus
about 3.7° at midday
Bold, original action comes to John without much friction, because drive and independence are on good terms in this sextile. It is useful initiative with little drama attached, the sort that tries something new without making a big production of it.
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.

- Saturn sextile Neptuneabout 4.5°
- Venus square Marsabout 4.6°
- Jupiter opposition Uranusabout 5.6°
