Birth chart of Brian De Palma

Brian De Palma birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

Brian De Palma's chart is framed by Sun in Virgo, Moon in Capricorn, and Pisces Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Mars trine Saturn (orb 0.3°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

In plain terms, this aspect gives positive ease between courage and discipline: action becomes more enduring, strategic, and able to hold under pressure.

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Virgo · Moon in Capricorn · Pisces Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Virgo: identity and direction move through precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail; Moon in Capricorn: emotional safety looks for structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction; Pisces Rising: the first way into situations uses imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Mars and Sun

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Mars near the Descendant (orb 0.1°) Mars is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met. Here, that highlights action, courage, competition, and effort. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Sun near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) The Sun is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met. Here, that highlights identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Moon, Mercury, and Uranus

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects), House 7 (partners, contracts, and direct encounters with others), and House 2 (money, security, and self-worth). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions), and Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Moon trine Mercury (orb 1.4°), Moon trine Uranus (orb 0.8°), and Mercury trine Uranus (orb 0.5°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Moon trine Mercury (orb 1.4°) Trine: Moon in Capricorn in House 11 can support Mercury in Virgo in House 7 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives natural support between memory, personal dream, and intellect: words can give clear form to the inner child. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Mercury.
  • Harmony Moon trine Uranus (orb 0.8°) Trine: Moon in Capricorn in House 11 can support Uranus in Taurus in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives ease keeping the personal dream alive through change. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Uranus.
  • Harmony Mercury trine Uranus (orb 0.5°) Trine: Mercury in Virgo in House 7 can support Uranus in Taurus in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives positive ease between intellect and originality: understanding fast, changing angle, or inventing a solution can come naturally.
4. Important tensions

Tension circuit: Moon, Venus, and Pluto

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 5 (creativity, romance, play, and personal visibility) and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), and Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon opposite Venus (orb 6.3°) and Moon opposite Pluto (orb 6.8°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Tension Moon opposite Venus (orb 6.3°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) and House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction.
  • Tension Moon opposite Pluto (orb 6.8°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) and House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect sets the Moon opposite Pluto: personal dream, mother image, or the need to protect can conflict with pressure, control, crisis, sexuality, or invisible power.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 7: Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Neptune relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.
  • House 2: Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus resources, values, and security.
  • House 11: Moon networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.

Rising sign Pisces
Rising in Pisces First impression, entry style
The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Mars near the Descendant (orb 0.1°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Mars (action, courage, competition, and effort) is most visible through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

Brian De Palma has Sun in Virgo, in the House 7

How to read this placement

Sun in Virgo in House 7 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 7 gives the life field: relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into partners, clients, opponents, negotiations, and direct confrontations. House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun trine Jupiter (orb 3.4°). Aspect effect: gives structural ease between identity and fulfillment: confidence can support ego and naturally open horizons. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Jupiter.

Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

With the Sun in Virgo, identity forms through usefulness, precision, improvement, and practical intelligence. The person often needs to understand how things work, correct what is imprecise, and make themselves useful through skill. This placement can give method, discernment, modesty, technical ability, and a strong sense of service. It is not only criticism; it is the need to refine life until it functions better. When tense, the person may become trapped in worry, perfectionism, or the feeling that nothing is ever clean enough.
In the 7th house, the Sun puts identity into relationship, confrontation, partnership, clients, opponents, and the mirror of other people. The person often discovers who they are through the people they face, love, negotiate with, or compete against. This can make partnership central, but it does not mean the person lacks identity; it means identity becomes sharper in contact with others. At best, it gives relational presence, diplomacy, and the ability to lead through alliance. Under stress, the ego can depend too much on approval, conflict, or the role assigned by a partner.

    Sun conjunct Mars (orb 4.2°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Sun in Virgo in House 7 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Mars in Virgo in House 7 brings action, courage, competition, and effort.

    Concrete effect: this aspect makes ego, personal direction, courage, competition, and the need to act come out together. Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) and Mars near the Descendant (orb 0.1°) touch angles; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

    Sun trine Jupiter (orb 3.4°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Virgo in House 7 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Jupiter in Taurus in House 2 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives structural ease between identity and fulfillment: confidence can support ego and naturally open horizons. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Jupiter. Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

    Sun trine Saturn (orb 4.5°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Sun in Virgo in House 7 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Saturn in Taurus in House 2 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive ease building identity, confidence, and the father-image field through seriousness and endurance. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Saturn.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Sun in Virgo in House 7 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Neptune in Virgo in House 7 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties identity to image, dream, inspiration, and popularity. Visible angle: Sun near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

    Sun conjunct Mercury (orb 6.5°) is minor in this chart. The orb is wide; this aspect stays a light nuance.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into networks, audiences, friends, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon trine Uranus (orb 0.8°). Aspect effect: gives ease keeping the personal dream alive through change. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Uranus.

With the Moon in Capricorn, the inner child learns confidence through structure, competence, duty, and the ability to hold steady under pressure. The personal dream often has to become real: work, mastery, status, responsibility, and long construction matter more than vague wishing. This Moon can give endurance, loyalty, patience, and a strong instinct to build something safe over time. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to seriousness, distance, responsibility, or growing up early. When burdened, it can become guarded, overly hard on itself, or afraid to depend on others.
In the 11th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into friends, groups, networks, audiences, publics, group ideologies, and collective dreams. The inner child wants belonging, but not only in a private family; it may seek inner confidence in community, movements, fans, or shared ideals. The person can be sensitive to group moods and may know instinctively what a public needs to feel included. At best, this gives popularity, social care, and emotional participation in collective projects. Under stress, it can become dependence on group approval, fear of exclusion, or losing personal feeling inside a crowd.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.
