Stan Lee’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Stan Lee was born in Manhattan on 28 December 1922, a Thursday. That made Stan a Capricorn. The Moon changed sign at about 06:15, from Aries to Taurus; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Stan died on 12 November 2018, aged 95. No verified birth time is on file for Stan; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is five water, two earth, one fire and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and two. The tightest aspect is Mars trine Jupiter, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 21 other people born on 28 December, among them Linus Torvalds, Denzel Washington and Maggie Smith.

Stan Lee’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 6° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Stan Lee up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 06:15, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 06:15: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Stan is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Born after about 06:15: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Stan, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Manhattan at each hour of the day.
Stan Lee’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Stan 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 28 December 1922, computed for Manhattan.

Stan Lee’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Stan Lee’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, Stan Lee is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

Aries until about 06:15, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 06:15: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Stan, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Born after about 06:15: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Stan more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Stan tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Stan will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Stan is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
With Mars in Pisces, Stan 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 Scorpio

growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Stan, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
For Stan, 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 Pisces
10° Pisces 18' at midday
freedom, generational
Stan has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
17° Leo 48' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Stan alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
10° Cancer 14' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Stan to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Stan Lee’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.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Stan Lee's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
Mercury square Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Stan is willing to say out loud.
Saturn sextile Neptune
about 1.4° at midday
Stan's ideas tend to take a workable, grounded shape without losing their spark, a result of the gentle alliance between discipline and imagination in this sextile. It is a quiet, practical creativity, and it usually produces something people can use and not just admire.
Mars conjunction Uranus
about 2.3° at midday
Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Stan probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 2.4° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Stan a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
Mars trine Pluto
about 2.4° at midday
Resilience under pressure, and the ability to come back stronger from a setback, are the marks of this trine between drive and the capacity for change. In Stan's chart the aspect points to a quiet, formidable strength, the kind other people notice mainly in how little it seems to cost.
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.
