Brian Jones’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 February 1942 was a Saturday: the day Brian Jones was born in Cheltenham, England. That made Brian a Pisces, with the Moon in Leo. Brian died on 3 July 1969, aged 27. StarMap has no verified birth time for Brian, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four earth, three air, two fire and one water. By modality the count is seven fixed, three mutable and no cardinal. Taurus holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mars, Saturn and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Uranus: a conjunction, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 28 February, among them Frank Gehry, Gilbert Gottfried and Dino Zoff. Dino Zoff was born on the very same day. Wikidata links Brian with two people in the dataset: Nico (listed as partners in 1965) and Amanda Lear (listed as partners, 1966 to 1967).

Brian Jones’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 9° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Brian Jones the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Brian up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Cheltenham, England, at each hour of the day.
Brian Jones’s rising sign, by birth time

It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 28 February 1942, computed for Cheltenham, England.

Brian Jones’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Brian Jones’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Brian Jones's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Brian faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Brian did.
In Brian's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Brian may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Brian may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Gemini
12° Gemini 15' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Brian may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Brian is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Taurus
26° Taurus 37' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Brian shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
29° Virgo 01' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Brian shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
3° Leo 54' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Brian, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Brian Jones’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mars conjunction Uranus
about 0.6° at midday
Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Brian Jones probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 1.1° at midday
Brian's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Venus opposition Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Brian, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
Sun square Jupiter
about 3.0° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Brian may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mars trine Neptune
about 3.1° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Brian's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
Mars conjunction Saturn
about 3.1° at midday
With Mars conjunct Saturn, drive is disciplined and controlled, and Brian is likely to channel energy into long, patient effort in place of short bursts. It makes them capable of sustained work. The risk is that caution talks them out of acting when the moment calls for it.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
