Robert Zemeckis’s birth chart
Born 14 May 1952, in Chicago, Illinois. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Capricorn or Aquarius
Robert Zemeckis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Robert Zemeckis was born on Wednesday, 14 May 1952, in Chicago, Illinois. That makes Robert a Taurus. The Moon changed sign at about 14:15, from Capricorn to Aquarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Robert turns 74 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Robert, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three earth, two air, two water and one fire, leaving out the Moon and Mercury, whose signs depend on the birth time. By modality the count is five fixed, three cardinal and no mutable. Sun, Venus and Jupiter all fall in Taurus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Mars, Saturn and Neptune. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 14 May, among them Mark Zuckerberg, George Lucas and Cate Blanchett. David Byrne was born on the very same day.

Robert Zemeckis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 23° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Robert Zemeckis 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
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 14:15, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Robert may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Robert is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
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 Chicago, Illinois, at each hour of the day.
Robert Zemeckis’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Robert 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 14 May 1952, computed for Chicago, Illinois.

Robert Zemeckis’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Robert Zemeckis’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Robert Zemeckis'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 Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 14:15, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 14:15: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Robert's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Born after about 14:15: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Robert is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Mercury in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 09:45, then Taurus
mind and voice
Born before about 09:45: Mercury in Aries
Mercury in Aries suggests that Robert thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Born after about 09:45: Mercury in Taurus
With Mercury in Taurus, Robert 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 Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Robert'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.
In Robert'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 Taurus
3° Taurus 44' at midday
growth and excess
In Robert's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
For Robert, 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
11° Cancer 17' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Robert 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
19° Libra 28' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Robert 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
19° Leo 08' 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 Robert, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Robert Zemeckis’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 sextile Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Robert Zemeckis's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Robert's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Robert's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Saturn square Uranus
about 2.5° at midday
The need for stability and the need for freedom can clash in Robert's chart, producing either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments that were meant sincerely. Saturn square Uranus is best answered with structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 3.6° at midday
Robert's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Sun square Pluto
about 4.7° at midday
With this aspect, Robert's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Robert chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mars trine Uranus
about 5.5° at midday
Robert's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
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?
