Tom Hanks, screenwriter, was born on July 9, 1956 in Concord. With the Sun in Cancer, Tom's chart begins from a Cancer core. Without a recorded birth time, the Moon and angles can't be pinned precisely, but the planetary placements by date still hold.

Astrological profile

The Sun at 17° Cancer grants a core identity that values emotional security, nurturing instincts, and a strong attachment to home and family. With Mercury also in early Cancer, mental processing is colored by feeling; thoughts are filtered through personal experience, and communication tends toward a gentle, supportive style. The Moon positioned at 6° Leo adds a vivid, expressive emotional layer, urging the native to be recognized and to celebrate personal creativity. This Cancer‑Leo blend creates a temperament that seeks both intimate closeness and public acknowledgement, balancing private loyalty with a desire for heartfelt applause.

Mars in 17° Pisces softens drive into compassionate action, encouraging subtle, imaginative ways of pursuing goals and a tendency to merge personal boundaries with the collective mood. Jupiter at 0° Virgo fuels a practical optimism, directing growth through meticulous attention to detail and service. Saturn retrograde in 27° Scorpio suggests internalized discipline, an intense need for personal transformation, and a cautious approach to power dynamics. Uranus (2° Leo) and Pluto (27° Leo) intensify the Leo influence, giving the chart a generational urge toward innovative self‑expression and deep personal rebirth, while Neptune in 28° Libra adds a dreamy idealism to relationships and an aesthetic sense that seeks harmony and fairness. (Moon and angles are approximate due to unknown birth time.)
