Actor

Rainn Wilson

Nothing in the chart sits in a fire sign, and the Sun's own sign cannot be settled: at noon it had crossed into Aquarius by nineteen minutes of arc, which an hour in the wrong direction undoes. Four planets sit in earth and four in air. The record gives Wilson as an American actor whose best known work was the American version of The Office, a comedy built on watching people at work rather than on anything much happening to them.

The Moon is in Capricorn at twenty one degrees and that much is certain, so the private half of the chart is duty and the long view whichever sign the Sun turns out to hold. Capricorn meets the obligation and Aquarius sits slightly outside whatever it is part of. A single long running part, played straight for years inside a format that collapses the moment somebody winks at the camera, needs both of those at the same time.

Two yods run through the chart and both share Jupiter and Neptune, and neither of them resolves. Mars makes easy contact with Jupiter at a fifth of a degree and a hard one with Neptune at two thirds, so drive gets on with scale and fights with image. Three planets sit in Aquarius across twenty two degrees, the Sun with Venus and Mars, and four of the ten were retrograde at his birth, Venus among them.

Jupiter worked its way back to its opening Gemini degree on 5 May 2025, at fifty nine. Gemini prizes variety over depth, which is an awkward measure for an actor known for one part and a generous one for everything else he has done. The planet was running backwards at both ends of that circuit, so the expansion being asked about was the inward kind rather than the sort that shows up on a poster.

Rainn Wilson is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
