Air dominant5 retrogradesSun conjunct Mercury

Comedian and actor known for his stand-up specials and voice role as Remy in Ratatouille.

Patton Oswalt's natal chart is anchored by an Aquarius Sun — an independent, visionary mind... someone who thinks differently, values freedom above conformity, and finds identity through innovation.

Beneath the surface, a Gemini Moon speaks to what Patton needs emotionally... conversation, mental stimulation, and variety to process feelings. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.

Their drive runs deep and is not easily deterred... they pursue goals with quiet, transformative intensity. With 5 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of Patton'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 AquariusHouse 10 (est.)

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and the Sun is in its detriment here ... the solar need for personal, warm self-expression in tension with Aquarius's orientation toward the collective and the ideal. Air shapes your identity through ideas and vision; Fixed modality gives your convictions real staying power, making you someone who holds your principles through significant social pressure. You feel most yourself when you are genuinely individuating, living according to your own logic rather than convention's. The challenge is allowing personal warmth into the relational spaces you open up ... intimacy requires the kind of vulnerability that cool, principled Aquarius does not always find easy.

Moon in GeminiHouse 1 (est.)

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and the Moon here processes emotion through language, analysis, and the movement of ideas. Air lifts feelings into the mental realm ... you genuinely understand your inner world better after talking about it than before, and intellectual stimulation is as much an emotional need as warmth or connection. Mutable modality keeps your moods varied and quick-shifting, responsive to what is interesting rather than what is safe. The challenge is resisting the habit of intellectualizing away emotions that need to be felt rather than explained ... the mind is a powerful instrument but a limited one for the work of genuine emotional processing.

Mercury in AquariusHouse 10 (est.)

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Mercury here thinks in systems, paradigms, and possibilities that often arrive ahead of their time. Air gives your mind a conceptual, forward-looking orientation; Fixed modality means your intellectual convictions are strong and not easily moved by social pressure or conventional consensus. You have a genuine talent for original thinking and for identifying the assumptions that everyone else accepts without examination. A concrete tendency is the intellectual position held too long: the same conviction that fuels your brilliance can harden into an unwillingness to revise ... and for a mind genuinely oriented toward truth, that is the most important form of intellectual courage to practice.

Venus in PiscesHouse 11 (est.)

Pisces is a Mutable Water sign, and Venus is in its exaltation here ... the planet of love in the sign of boundless compassion and romantic transcendence, one of the most idealistic and genuinely giving love placements in the zodiac. Water makes your affections empathic and permeable; Mutable modality keeps your love nature fluid and responsive to the emotional needs of others. You love selflessly, imaginatively, and with a tenderness that can feel otherworldly. A concrete tendency is projection: this placement's capacity to see the divine in another person can cause it to love the potential rather than the actual person, and the most important relational skill is learning to see clearly ... and to love what is actually there.

Mars in ScorpioHouse 6 (est.)

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Mars is in its traditional domicile here ... the planet of drive in the sign of deep, strategic, psychologically focused will. Water makes your motivation private and emotionally fueled; Fixed modality gives you extraordinary patience and the capacity to sustain effort across very long timelines when you are genuinely committed. You rarely show your hand. A concrete tendency is holding on past the point of usefulness: this placement's formidable persistence can pursue objectives ... including grievances ... long after the productive moment has passed, and learning to distinguish purposeful endurance from the refusal to let go is one of the most important practical distinctions this energy requires.

Jupiter in LibraHouse 5 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Jupiter here grows through relationship, collaboration, and the active pursuit of beauty, justice, and genuine partnership. Air expands your understanding through dialogue; Cardinal modality means growth arrives through the connections you initiate rather than those you wait for. Your fortune flows through partnerships ... professional, romantic, and social. A concrete tendency is agreeing rather than engaging: Jupiter amplifies Libra's preference for harmony, and the most important growth edge is learning to bring your full perspective into a collaboration honestly, including the parts that might create friction, because that is where genuine partnership ... and genuine expansion ... actually lives.

Saturn in AriesHouse 12 (est.)

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and Saturn is in its fall here ... the planet of patient, earned mastery in the sign of impulsive, immediate self-assertion. Fire wants to act now; Saturn asks whether the foundation is in place. This tension means asserting yourself or acting on your own behalf requires more effort than it appears to for others, and confidence is something you build rather than simply assume. Cardinal modality means the lessons arrive most sharply at beginnings ... starting is where Saturn's demand lives. A concrete tendency is the overcorrection into hesitation: the fear of acting impulsively can produce a chronic waiting that ultimately costs you more than the impulsive action ever would have.

Uranus in LibraHouse 5 (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 ScorpioHouse 7 (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 5 (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 AriesHouse 11 (est.)

Your North Node in Aries calls you toward the development of genuine self-assertion, individual courage, and the willingness to act on your own instincts without waiting for consensus. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward initiation, independence, and the bold trust of your own first move. The corresponding South Node in Libra suggests an ingrained ease with deference, diplomacy, and defining yourself through others' perceptions. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the automatic ask: what do others want, what seems fair, how will this land? The medicine is learning to ask those questions second ... after the prior, more fundamental question of what you actually want.

Chiron in PiscesHouse 11 (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 Taurus(est.)

With Taurus rising, you project calm, stability, and quiet strength. People experience you as grounded and reliable... someone who doesn't rush. There's a natural warmth to your presence that makes others feel at ease. You move through life at your own pace, and that steadiness is your signature.

Descendant in Scorpio(est.)

With your Descendant in Scorpio, you're drawn to partners who are intense, emotionally deep, and transformative. You seek relationships that go beneath the surface... where trust is earned and intimacy is real.

MC

Midheaven in Aquarius(est.)

With your Midheaven in Aquarius, your career thrives on innovation, independence, and working toward something bigger than yourself. You're drawn to unconventional paths and work that challenges existing systems. Your public reputation is built on originality and forward thinking.

IC

Imum Coeli in Leo(est.)

With your IC in Leo, your roots are shaped by creative self-expression and being seen within the family. Your private life needs warmth, play, and a sense of personal pride. You recharge through joy and creative outlets.
