Spencer Tracy’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Spencer Tracy was born on Thursday, 5 April 1900, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Sun was in Aries, so Aries was their zodiac sign. The Moon changed sign at about 07:15, from Gemini to Cancer; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Spencer died on 10 June 1967, aged 67. StarMap has no verified birth time for Spencer, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three fire, two air, two water and one earth, leaving out the Moon and Venus, whose signs depend on the birth time. By modality the count is six mutable, two cardinal and no fixed. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 5 April, among them Bette Davis, Gregory Peck and Agnetha Fältskog. Wikidata links Spencer with one person in the dataset: Katharine Hepburn (listed as partners, 1941 to 1967).

Spencer Tracy’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 15° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Spencer Tracy 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.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 07:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Spencer, 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 07:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Spencer 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 Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at each hour of the day.
Spencer Tracy’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Spencer 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 5 April 1900, computed for Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Spencer Tracy’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Spencer Tracy’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Spencer Tracy'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.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 07:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 07:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Spencer 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 07:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Spencer'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 Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Spencer is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Venus in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 22:15, then Gemini
love and values
Born before about 22:15: Venus in Taurus
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Spencer'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.
Born after about 22:15: Venus in Gemini
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Spencer probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
With Mars in Pisces, Spencer is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
10° Sagittarius 44' at midday ℞
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Spencer is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Spencer, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 19' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Spencer than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Gemini
24° Gemini 28' at midday
imagination, generational
The dream of Neptune in Gemini is a collective one, shared across roughly fourteen years of births. The imagination of Spencer's generation is shaped by information moving faster than anyone can fully verify. Its personal form is finding it hard to tell a compelling story apart from a true one.
Pluto in Gemini
14° Gemini 56' at midday
power, generational
Spencer shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Spencer Tracy’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 sextile Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
Spencer Tracy's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 1.4° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Spencer quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Venus sextile Mars
about 1.4° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Spencer go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 1.6° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Spencer 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.
Mercury square Neptune
about 2.2° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Spencer is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.8° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Spencer'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.
