Aquarius Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Patton Oswalt’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Patton Oswalt was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, on 27 January 1969, a Monday. That makes Patton an Aquarius. The Moon changed sign at about 04:55, from Taurus to Gemini; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Patton turns 57 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Patton, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four air, three water, one fire and one earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold four, cardinal signs three and mutable signs two. The tightest aspect is Venus opposition Pluto, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 27 January, among them Rosamund Pike, Marat Safin and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Patton Oswalt’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 7° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Patton Oswalt's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 04:55, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 04:55: 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 Patton, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 04:55: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Patton, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Portsmouth, Virginia, at each hour of the day.
Patton Oswalt’s rising sign, by birth time

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 January 1969, computed for Portsmouth, Virginia.

Patton Oswalt’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Patton Oswalt’s private life.
Patton Oswalt's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

Taurus until about 04:55, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 04:55: 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 Patton more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 04:55: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Patton is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
In Patton's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Patton probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
In Patton's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Libra
5° Libra 58' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Patton'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 Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Patton, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Libra
3° Libra 49' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Patton holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 24' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Patton 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
24° Virgo 51' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Patton 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 Patton Oswalt’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 opposition Pluto
about 0.3° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Patton Oswalt, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 1.6° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Patton's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 2.1° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Patton 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.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 3.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Patton'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.
Sun trine Uranus
about 3.8° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Patton's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Venus trine Neptune
about 3.8° at midday
Patton is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
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.
