Emmy Award-winning actor known for Doogie Howser, M.D., How I Met Your Mother, and his Tony-hosting career.

Neil Patrick Harris's natal chart is anchored by a Gemini Sun — a restless, curious mind... someone who collects ideas the way others collect objects, communicates instinctively, and finds identity through learning.

Beneath the surface, a Sagittarius Moon speaks to what Neil needs emotionally... freedom, meaning, and the sense that life is going somewhere expansive. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.

Their drive is guided by intuition and compassion... they act most powerfully when moved by something larger than themselves. With 4 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of Neil's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression.

Birth time unknown. The Rising sign, house placements, and Midheaven shown below are estimated using noon. Only the Sun and Moon positions are reliable.

Chart Interpretations

Birth time unknown. Sign placements (Sun, Moon, planets) are accurate. House placements and Rising sign are estimated from noon and may not reflect the actual chart.

Sun in GeminiHouse 10 (est.)

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and the Sun here expresses identity through curiosity, language, and perpetual intellectual movement. Air lifts self-expression into the realm of ideas and connection, and Mutable modality keeps that expression fluid, adaptable, and always searching for the next interesting thing. You shine most fully in conversation and exchange ... you are genuinely many-faceted rather than inconsistent. The challenge is depth: without deliberate commitment to something, the Mutable Air tendency to skim widely leaves you brilliant on the surface but quietly restless underneath.

Moon in SagittariusHouse 4 (est.)

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and the Moon here has an emotional life that is expansive, freedom-loving, and genuinely optimistic. Fire makes feelings enthusiastic and forward-moving rather than brooding; Mutable modality keeps your inner world restless, responsive to new input, and resistant to confinement. You feel emotionally safe when you have space ... physical, philosophical, or temporal ... and emotional claustrophobia can trigger a restlessness that looks like dissatisfaction when it is actually just the need to breathe. A concrete tendency is processing difficult emotions by moving rather than sitting: travel, study, or a change of scene rebalances your emotional state more reliably than introspection alone.

Mercury in CancerHouse 11 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Mercury here thinks through feeling, memory, and emotional association more than through logical sequence. Water gives the mind an intuitive, imagistic quality ... you often know something before you can explain why, and your ideas arrive as impressions as much as arguments. Cardinal modality means your thinking naturally orients toward care, protection, and the people who matter to you. A concrete tendency is a long and vivid emotional memory: you retain the feeling of experiences with unusual clarity, which makes you a perceptive reader of people but can also make it difficult to separate what you remember from what is actually in front of you now.

Venus in CancerHouse 11 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Venus here loves with a nurturing attentiveness and emotional depth that is difficult to match. Water makes your affections deeply feeling-based and profoundly sensitive; Cardinal modality means you move toward those you love proactively ... anticipating needs, creating warmth, tending the relationship before you are asked. Your home environment and the people who inhabit it are genuinely central to your experience of being loved. A concrete tendency is retreating inside your shell when hurt rather than communicating the wound ... a pattern that protects you but leaves the people who care about you genuinely unable to reach you at the moment when reaching you matters most.

Mars in PiscesHouse 7 (est.)

Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and Mars here acts from feeling, imagination, and an empathic read of the situation rather than direct will. Water dissolves Mars's usual sharp assertiveness into something more fluid and intuitive; Mutable modality makes your energy adaptable and diffuse, moving around obstacles rather than through them. You are most effectively motivated by compassion, creative vision, or spiritual purpose. A concrete tendency is the difficulty with direct assertion: this placement tends to sublimate anger rather than express it, and the essential work is developing enough of a relationship with your own desires to name them and act on them without the apology or the disappearance.

Jupiter in AquariusHouse 5 (est.)

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Jupiter here grows through collective vision, social innovation, and the pursuit of a more equitable future. Air directs your expansiveness toward ideas and community; Fixed modality means your commitments to those ideals run deep and endure through resistance. Your fortune flows through networks, groups, and collaborative efforts that are ahead of their time. A concrete tendency is the vision defended rather than explored: Jupiter amplifies Aquarius's intellectual certainty, and the most important growth practice is remaining genuinely open to revising the vision when reality offers something better ... because the collective future you are oriented toward has not been built yet and cannot be owned.

Saturn in GeminiHouse 10 (est.)

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and Saturn here disciplines the mind ... demanding depth, rigor, and the willingness to develop genuine expertise rather than accumulating surface impressions. Air wants to move freely between ideas; Saturn asks you to slow down and verify, to earn the knowledge rather than simply receive it. Mutable modality means the challenge is sustained focus ... the discipline to stay with one thread long enough to understand it fully. A concrete tendency is a compensatory intellectualism: early experiences of feeling misunderstood or intellectually dismissed can produce an adult who over-explains, over-prepares, or qualifies every statement ... the maturation is trusting that your mind, trained as it has been, is genuinely sufficient.

Uranus in LibraHouse 2 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Uranus here (1968–1975) disrupts through revolution in partnership structures, legal rights, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Uranus's disruption conceptual and relational; Cardinal modality means the upheaval breaks out at the point of commitment or formal agreement. Your generation was born into the redefinition of marriage, gender roles, and legal equality, and carries a genuine orientation toward relationships as voluntary agreements between free individuals rather than inherited social arrangements. A concrete tendency is difficulty with conventional commitment alongside a genuine desire for deep partnership ... the terms simply need to be honest rather than assumed.

Neptune in SagittariusHouse 3 (est.)

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Neptune here (1970–1984) dissolves the boundaries around religion, philosophy, and the search for meaning across cultures. Fire makes Neptune's idealism expansive and drawn to the universal; Mutable modality keeps the dissolution wide-ranging and restlessly seeking. This generation is drawn to spiritual exploration across traditions and carries a genuine hunger for a truth that transcends any single faith. The shadow is spiritual bypassing ... the dilution of profound traditions into comfortable lifestyle choices, and a restlessness that mistakes perpetual seeking for having arrived at the wisdom it was looking for.

Pluto in LibraHouse 1 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Pluto here (1971–1984) brought profound transformation to partnership, justice, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Pluto's transformation relational and conceptual; Cardinal modality means the destruction and rebuilding arrive at points of commitment and formal agreement. This generation came of age witnessing the collapse of conventional marriage, the rise of identity politics, and a wholesale reconsideration of what equality actually requires. The shadow is a power struggle at the heart of love ... the intimate relationship as the primary arena in which questions of domination and freedom are played out rather than resolved.

North Node in CapricornHouse 4 (est.)

Your North Node in Capricorn calls you toward discipline, long-term vision, and the patient construction of something with genuine endurance in the material world. Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward earned authority, mature responsibility, and the willingness to invest sustained effort in something that outlasts the moment. The corresponding South Node in Cancer suggests an ingrained ease with emotional attunement, the domestic sphere, and the care of immediate relationships. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the retreat into feeling and personal care as a way of avoiding the harder exposure of outer-world accountability. The medicine is learning to bring the warmth and attentiveness of the South Node into the demanding, structurally rigorous work of the North.

Chiron in AriesHouse 8 (est.)

Your Chiron in Aries places your core wound in the realm of identity, self-assertion, and the right to simply exist as yourself without apology. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign ... the wound here lives at the point of initiation, in the moment of acting on your own behalf, beginning something, or asserting a need. You may carry a deep uncertainty about whether your desires are legitimate or whether it is safe to go first. A concrete tendency is self-suppression at the threshold of action ... the impulse and the hesitation arriving simultaneously, producing a paralysis that looks from the outside like caution but is actually a wound to the right of the self to be asserted. The gift, once tended, is an extraordinary capacity to help others claim their courage.

Ascendant (Rising) in Virgo(est.)

With Virgo rising, you come across as thoughtful, precise, and quietly competent. People trust your judgment because you clearly pay attention to details others miss. There's a modesty to your presence that understates how capable you actually are. You process the world through analysis and service.

Descendant in Pisces(est.)

With your Descendant in Pisces, you're drawn to partners who are empathic, creative, and spiritually attuned. You seek relationships with emotional depth and a sense of transcendence... where connection goes beyond words.

MC

Midheaven in Gemini(est.)

With your Midheaven in Gemini, your career thrives on communication, versatility, and intellectual stimulation. You're drawn to work that lets you talk, write, teach, or connect ideas. Your public reputation is built on being the person who can explain anything to anyone.

IC

Imum Coeli in Sagittarius(est.)

With your IC in Sagittarius, your roots are shaped by philosophy, freedom, and a sense of adventure. Your childhood may have involved travel, diverse beliefs, or an emphasis on the bigger picture. You recharge through exploration and meaning-making.
