Ben Stiller
1965-11-30 · New York City, New York, USA· birth time unknown
Actor, comedian, and director known for Zoolander, Meet the Parents, and the Night at the Museum series.
Ben Stiller's natal chart is anchored by a Sagittarius Sun — an expansive, philosophical spirit... someone driven by meaning, adventure, and the belief that life is an ongoing discovery.
Beneath the surface, a Pisces Moon speaks to what Ben needs emotionally... creative escape, spiritual connection, and permission to dissolve into something larger. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.
Their drive is disciplined and strategic... they build toward goals with the patience of someone who knows time is on their side. A concentration of planets in Pisces gives Ben's chart a strong Pisces emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in SagittariusHouse 9 (est.)
Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and the Sun here burns most brightly when it is exploring ... ideas, landscapes, philosophies, or possibilities at the edge of the known. Fire makes your identity enthusiastic and oriented toward expansion; Mutable modality keeps you restlessly mobile, hungry for the next horizon before the current one is fully inhabited. Your sense of self is bound up with your beliefs and your vision of what could be. The challenge is commitment: the same Mutable Fire restlessness that makes you an inspiring adventurer can make sustained effort feel like a constraint rather than a choice.
Moon in PiscesHouse 1 (est.)
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and the Moon is in its exaltation here ... one of the most emotionally sensitive and imaginatively rich lunar placements. Water makes your inner world boundless, fluid, and permeable; Mutable modality means your feelings shift readily with the emotional currents around you, making you extraordinarily empathic but also unusually susceptible to absorbing others' states as your own. You feel most at home in creative, spiritual, or compassionate spaces. A concrete tendency is the blur between your emotions and those of people you care about ... the essential work is learning to feel the difference between genuine empathy and the unconscious carrying of someone else's emotional weight.
Mercury in SagittariusHouse 10 (est.)
℞Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Mercury is in its detriment here ... the planet of precise, particular thinking in the sign of broad philosophical sweep and enthusiastic generalization. Fire makes your ideas feel like discoveries; Mutable modality keeps your mind ranging widely rather than drilling down. You think in principles, narratives, and big-picture patterns, and your intellectual enthusiasm is genuinely contagious. A concrete tendency is the well-intentioned exaggeration: this placement is prone to trading accuracy for a better story, and the most important intellectual discipline is developing the patience to verify the details of a vision you have already fallen in love with.
Venus in CapricornHouse 11 (est.)
Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and Venus here approaches love with seriousness, patience, and a long-term orientation that takes commitment genuinely rather than romantically. Earth makes your affections practical and demonstrated through reliability and sustained action rather than gesture; Cardinal modality means you pursue relationships deliberately rather than impulsively. You are selective because you are serious. A concrete tendency is a guardedness that can read as coldness: the self-containment that protects you from ill-considered involvement can also prevent the warmth you genuinely feel from being visible to the people who need to feel it in order to believe the relationship is real.
Mars in CapricornHouse 11 (est.)
Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and Mars is in its exaltation here ... the planet of action at its most disciplined, strategic, and purposeful. Earth roots your drive in long-term goals and concrete outcomes; Cardinal modality ensures your energy initiates with purpose rather than impulse. You apply effort precisely where it will have the greatest return. A concrete tendency is the relentless self-demand that forecloses rest: this placement's capacity to sustain disciplined effort is its greatest strength, but it can operate from a background assumption that stopping means losing ... and the maturation of this energy is learning that recovery is as much a part of performance as the effort itself.
Jupiter in GeminiHouse 4 (est.)
℞Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and Jupiter is in its detriment here ... the planet of broad wisdom and deep understanding in the sign of quick, pluralistic, endlessly curious intellect. Air expands your mind outward in every direction simultaneously; Mutable modality keeps your growth restless and sampling rather than committing. Your fortune flows through communication, learning, and the exchange of ideas. A concrete tendency is mistaking breadth for depth: this placement absorbs vast amounts of fascinating information, and the most important growth work is choosing some of those threads to follow all the way down ... because wisdom lives there, not in the surface accumulation.
Saturn in PiscesHouse 1 (est.)
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and Saturn here is learning to give form to the formless ... to build structure within the boundless without destroying what makes it alive. Water makes the lessons spiritual and deeply personal; Mutable modality means the challenge is a discipline that does not rigidify into defensiveness against the very openness it is trying to contain. A concrete tendency is alternating between dissolution and rigidity: without a consciously developed middle ground, this placement swings between the fog of Pisces without Saturn's grounding and the fortress of Saturn without Pisces' flow ... the integration is a spiritual discipline and creative integrity that holds both, and it is genuinely worth the work.
Uranus in VirgoHouse 7 (est.)
Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Uranus here (1962–1968) disrupts through revolution in work, health, daily systems, and the methods by which things get organized and maintained. Earth directs Uranus's disruption toward practical domains; Mutable modality makes the change analytically innovative and technically precise. Your generation drove major upheavals in medicine, ecology, and the organization of labor and information. A concrete tendency is a restless technical intelligence that improves systems others take for granted ... disruption expressed through the details, the processes, and the persistent question of whether the current method is actually the best available.
Neptune in ScorpioHouse 9 (est.)
Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Neptune here (1956–1970) dissolves boundaries around power, sexuality, death, and the psychological underworld. Water amplifies Neptune's permeability and emotional depth; Fixed modality means what is dissolved tends to stay dissolved ... the transformations of this era are genuinely permanent. This generation has been shaped by psychedelic exploration, spiritual seeking, the AIDS crisis, and a profound confrontation with the shadow aspects of human nature. The shadow is an addiction to intensity and the glamorization of darkness ... the confusion of depth with difficulty and transcendence with dissolution.
Pluto in VirgoHouse 7 (est.)
Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Pluto here (1958–1971) brought transformative energy to health, work, ecology, and the systems that maintain daily life. Earth makes Pluto's transformation practical and concrete; Mutable modality means it spreads through systems analytically, restructuring processes rather than overthrowing them. This generation drove environmental movements, healthcare reform, and the digital restructuring of the workplace. The shadow is a compulsive perfectionism and an identification with critique so deep that healing is perpetually deferred ... the transformation available is a genuine regeneration of the relationship between work, health, and service, not merely a more thorough analysis of their failures.
North Node in GeminiHouse 3 (est.)
Your North Node in Gemini calls you toward curiosity, intellectual flexibility, and the genuine openness to perspectives that complicate or revise what you already believe. Gemini is a Mutable Air sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward gathering information, asking questions, and valuing the process of thinking over the certainty of having arrived. The corresponding South Node in Sagittarius suggests an ingrained orientation toward absolute belief and the sweeping overview. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the conviction that arrives before the evidence ... the great truth already in hand before the question has been fully asked. The medicine is sustained, genuine curiosity about what you do not yet know.
Chiron in PiscesHouse 1 (est.)
Your Chiron in Pisces places your core wound in the realm of spirituality, boundlessness, and the experience of being so permeable to the world's pain that finding a stable self inside it has been genuinely difficult. Pisces is a Mutable Water sign ... the wound is fluid, formless, and often experienced as a pervasive sensitivity without clear origin. You may feel the world's suffering as your own, carry a grief you cannot always trace to a specific source, or feel chronically adrift without a clear sense of where you end and the world begins. A concrete tendency is the avoidance of spiritual practice because the absence of boundaries that meditation or prayer requires feels too much like the wound itself. The gift is a boundless compassion ... the capacity to hold others in their suffering with a tenderness that can genuinely heal, because you know that terrain from the inside.
Ascendant (Rising) in Aquarius(est.)
With Aquarius rising, you come across as independent, unconventional, and intellectually original. People sense that you think differently from the crowd... and you do. There's a friendly detachment to your energy that keeps people curious. You engage with the world through ideas and systems, not emotions.
Descendant in Leo(est.)
With your Descendant in Leo, you're drawn to partners who are warm, confident, and creatively expressive. You seek relationships where both people can shine... where love is generous and dramatic in the best way.
Midheaven in Sagittarius(est.)
With your Midheaven in Sagittarius, your career path is expansive, philosophical, and oriented toward growth. You're drawn to work that involves teaching, travel, publishing, or exploring new territory. Your public reputation is built on optimism and the ability to see possibilities others miss.
Imum Coeli in Gemini(est.)
With your IC in Gemini, your roots are shaped by conversation, learning, and mental stimulation. Your childhood home was likely full of books, talk, or frequent change. You recharge through reading, writing, or connecting with siblings.
