William Hurt’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
20 March 1950 was a Monday: the day William Hurt was born in Washington, D.C. The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries at about 23:35 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Pisces for a birth before then, Aries after. The Moon was in Aries all day. William died on 13 March 2022, aged 71. StarMap has no verified birth time for William, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four air, two fire, two water and one earth, leaving out the Sun, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and two. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mars, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 20 March, among them Chester Bennington, Carl Reiner and Fernando Torres. Wikidata links William with two people in the dataset: Marlee Matlin (listed as partners, 1985 to 1986) and Sandrine Bonnaire (listed as partners, 1992 to 1997).

William Hurt’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 23:35, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 23:35: Sun in Pisces
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make William Hurt the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Born after about 23:35: Sun in Aries
An Aries Sun starts things. For William 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
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, William 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.
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 Washington, D.C., at each hour of the day.
William Hurt’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for William 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 March 1950, computed for Washington, D.C..

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 20 March 1950, 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 Pisces into Aries at about 23:35, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

William Hurt’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about William Hurt’s private life.
Sun in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 23:35, then Aries
purpose and vitality
Born before about 23:35: Sun in Pisces
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and William Hurt's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
Born after about 23:35: Sun in Aries
With the Sun in Aries, William'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.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For William, 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.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and William 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 Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. William may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In William's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Aquarius
24° Aquarius 49' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. William may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. William may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
0° Cancer 59' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to William 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
16° Libra 26' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, William 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
16° Leo 05' 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 William, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in William Hurt’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 opposition Pluto
about 0.7° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For William Hurt, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
Venus trine Neptune
about 1.0° at midday
William is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
Sun square Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
When the Sun is square Uranus, William's identity keeps bumping against a need to break from convention, which can look like sudden changes of direction that surprise the people nearby. The skill is choosing those disruptions rather than letting restlessness choose them.
Mars square Uranus
about 2.0° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise William as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Sun opposition Mars
about 3.5° at midday
The Sun opposite Mars pits self-assertion against putting other people's wishes first, and for William that can play out as a tug of war with partners or rivals. Learning to want things directly, without needing a fight to justify the wanting, settles more than it stirs up.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 6.2° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives William 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.
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?
