Wilford Brimley’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Wilford Brimley was born on Thursday, 27 September 1934, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their zodiac sign was Libra. The Moon left Taurus for Gemini at about 06:35 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Wilford died on 1 August 2020, aged 85. StarMap has no verified birth time for Wilford, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against earth three, fire one and water one. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs two. Sun, Mercury and Jupiter all fall in Libra. The tightest aspect is Mercury square Pluto, about 0.4° 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: Saturn and Uranus. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 27 September, among them Avril Lavigne, Gwyneth Paltrow and Francesco Totti.
Wilford Brimley’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 3° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Wilford Brimley's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 06:35, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 06:35: 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 Wilford, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 06:35: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Wilford, 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.
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 Salt Lake City, Utah, at each hour of the day.
Wilford Brimley’s rising sign, by birth time

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 27 September 1934, computed for Salt Lake City, Utah.

Wilford Brimley’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Wilford Brimley’s private life.
Sun in Libra
3° Libra 58' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Wilford Brimley's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 06:35, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 06:35: 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 Wilford more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 06:35: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Wilford 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.
Mercury in Libra
26° Libra 14' at midday
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Wilford tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Virgo
20° Virgo 36' at midday
love and values
With Venus in Virgo, Wilford is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Leo
17° Leo 40' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Wilford its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Libra
27° Libra 09' at midday
growth and excess
In Wilford's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Aquarius
22° Aquarius 11' at midday ℞
discipline and doubt
With Saturn in Aquarius, Wilford's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Taurus
0° Taurus 27' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Wilford 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
12° Virgo 56' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Wilford 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 Cancer
25° Cancer 53' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Wilford 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 Wilford Brimley’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 square Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Wilford Brimley looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 0.9° at midday
Wilford'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.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Wilford's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Jupiter opposition Uranus
about 3.3° at midday
One side of this opposition wants Wilford to expand along a familiar path; the other wants them to leave it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win outright, and trying the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve them well.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 4.1° at midday
Wilford's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Mercury opposition Uranus
about 4.2° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, Wilford's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
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.
