Zach Galifianakis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
1 October 1969 was a Wednesday: the day Zach Galifianakis was born in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina. That makes Zach a Libra, with the Moon in Gemini. Zach turns 57 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Zach, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against earth four, water one and fire none. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, two and three. Libra holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Saturn: a trine, about 1.0° 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: Mercury and Saturn. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 October, among them Jimmy Carter, Julie Andrews and George Weah.
Zach Galifianakis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 8° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Zach Galifianakis'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
Gemini
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Zach, 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 North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, at each hour of the day.
Zach Galifianakis’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 1 October 1969, computed for North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.

Zach Galifianakis’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Zach Galifianakis’s private life.
Sun in Libra
8° Libra 17' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Zach Galifianakis'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 Gemini
Gemini, all day
needs and habits
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Zach 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
3° Libra 36' at midday ℞
mind and voice
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Zach 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
10° Virgo 23' at midday
love and values
With Venus in Virgo, Zach 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 Capricorn
6° Capricorn 33' at midday
drive and anger
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Zach's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Libra
14° Libra 37' at midday
growth and excess
In Zach'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 Taurus
7° Taurus 31' at midday ℞
discipline and doubt
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Zach 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 Libra
4° Libra 39' at midday
freedom, generational
Zach holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Zach shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
25° Virgo 26' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Zach and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Zach Galifianakis’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 Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Zach Galifianakis is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Mercury conjunction Uranus
about 1.0° at midday
Zach's thinking is likely to be quick, original and a step ahead of convention, with insights that arrive suddenly rather than through slow reasoning. Mercury conjunct Uranus makes for inventive thinking, and the courtesy worth learning is explaining the leap so that other people can follow it too.
Sun square Mars
about 1.7° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between Zach's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Mars square Uranus
about 1.9° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Zach as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Venus trine Saturn
about 2.9° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Zach, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Mercury square Mars
about 3.0° at midday
With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before Zach has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
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?
