Ryan O'Neal’s birth chart
Born 20 April 1941, in Los Angeles, California. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Sun in Aries or Taurus · Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Ryan O'Neal’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
20 April 1941 was a Sunday: the day Ryan O'Neal was born in Los Angeles, California. The Sun moved from Aries into Taurus at about 03:50 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Aries for a birth before then, Taurus after. The Moon was in Aquarius until about 17:05 and in Pisces afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Ryan died on 8 December 2023, aged 82. StarMap has no verified birth time for Ryan, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, five are in earth signs, two in fire and one in air; none is in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is one, six and one. Taurus holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Venus, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Neptune. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 20 April, among them Jessica Lange, Andy Serkis and George Takei. Wikidata links Ryan with one person in the dataset: Farrah Fawcett (listed as partners, 1979 to 2009).

Ryan O'Neal’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 03:50, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 03:50: Sun in Aries
An Aries Sun starts things. For Ryan O'Neal 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.
Born after about 03:50: Sun in Taurus
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Ryan 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
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 17:05, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 17:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Ryan 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.
Born after about 17:05: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Ryan may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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.
Ryan O'Neal’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Ryan 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 April 1941, computed for Los Angeles, California.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 20 April 1941, 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 Aries into Taurus at about 03:50, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Ryan O'Neal’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ryan O'Neal’s private life.
Sun in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 03:50, then Taurus
purpose and vitality
Born before about 03:50: Sun in Aries
With the Sun in Aries, Ryan O'Neal'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.
Born after about 03:50: Sun in Taurus
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Ryan'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 Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 17:05, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 17:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Ryan 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.
Born after about 17:05: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Ryan more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Ryan 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.
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Ryan'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 Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Ryan can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Taurus
21° Taurus 38' at midday
growth and excess
In Ryan'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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Ryan is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Taurus
24° Taurus 40' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Ryan shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
25° Virgo 26' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Ryan shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
2° Leo 02' 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 Ryan, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Ryan O'Neal’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.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 0.4° at midday
Who Ryan O'Neal is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Venus square Pluto
about 1.3° 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 Ryan chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Sun square Pluto
about 1.7° at midday
With this aspect, Ryan's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Ryan chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 1.7° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Ryan, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 3.0° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Ryan 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.
Mars square Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
Ryan's drive can meet resistance, from outside obstacles or from private doubt, and frustration builds when progress feels blocked. Under this square, every stretch of steady work done anyway turns that resistance into competence, the kind that is there when it is needed most.
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.

- Jupiter trine Neptuneabout 3.8°
- Jupiter conjunction Saturnabout 5.9°

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?
