Pierce Brosnan’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Pierce Brosnan was born in Drogheda, Ireland, on 16 May 1953, a Saturday. Their zodiac sign is Taurus. The Moon changed sign at about 00:15, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Pierce turns 73 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Pierce; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four air, two fire, two earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Neptune: a conjunction, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn and Neptune were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 21 other people born on 16 May, among them Megan Fox, Janet Jackson and Henry Fonda.
Pierce Brosnan’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 25° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Pierce Brosnan 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
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 00:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Pierce, 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.
Born after about 00:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Pierce 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.
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 Drogheda, Ireland, at each hour of the day.

Pierce Brosnan’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Pierce Brosnan’s private life.
Sun in Taurus
25° Taurus 16' at midday
purpose and vitality
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Pierce Brosnan'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 Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 00:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 00:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Pierce 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.
Born after about 00:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Pierce'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.
Mercury in Taurus
15° Taurus 44' at midday
mind and voice
With Mercury in Taurus, Pierce 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
17° Aries 31' at midday
love and values
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Pierce 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 Gemini
10° Gemini 32' at midday
drive and anger
With Mars in Gemini, Pierce is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Gemini
1° Gemini 35' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Pierce may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Libra
21° Libra 42' at midday ℞
discipline and doubt
For Pierce, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Cancer
15° Cancer 41' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Pierce 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
21° Libra 39' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Pierce 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
20° Leo 50' 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 Pierce, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Pierce Brosnan’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.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 0.0° at midday
Pierce Brosnan tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 0.0° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Pierce, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Pierce's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Venus square Uranus
about 1.8° at midday
In Pierce'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.
Venus trine Pluto
about 3.3° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Pierce's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Venus opposition Neptune
about 4.1° at midday
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For Pierce, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
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.
