Randy Newman’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 November 1943 was a Sunday: the day Randy Newman was born in Los Angeles, California. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Randy turns 83 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Randy, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, five are in fire signs and five in air; none is in earth or water. Mutable signs hold six, cardinal signs two and fixed signs two. Sun, Moon and Mercury all fall in Sagittarius. Mars, Saturn and Uranus all fall in Gemini. The tightest aspect is Mercury opposition Mars, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 28 November, among them Ed Harris, Alfonso Cuarón and Anna Nicole Smith.

Randy Newman’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 5° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Randy Newman forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Randy, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Los Angeles, California, at each hour of the day.

Randy Newman’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Randy Newman’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Randy Newman's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Randy edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Randy's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Randy 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. Randy may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
With Mars in Gemini, Randy 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 Leo
26° Leo 41' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Randy the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Randy that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Gemini
6° Gemini 52' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Randy 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
3° Libra 49' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Randy 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
8° Leo 40' 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 Randy, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Randy Newman’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.
Mercury opposition Mars
about 0.4° at midday
Randy Newman is likely to hold a point of view firmly and, with Mercury opposite Mars, to argue it harder than the moment calls for. Listening as actively as they argue resolves more than winning the point does.
Sun opposition Uranus
about 1.2° at midday
With the Sun opposite Uranus, Randy's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 1.8° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Randy makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
about 2.2° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Randy'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.
Sun trine Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
Randy's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 3.6° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Randy's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
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. 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?
