Gerard Way’s birth chart

Gerard Way's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aries

   ♈ 19° Aries 43'

   purpose and vitality

   Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.

2. ☽Moon in Capricorn

   ♑ 5° Capricorn 31'

   needs and habits

   Their comfort comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave they oddly unsettled even on holiday. They keep their harder feelings for when Gerard is alone. It shows up as tidying, organising or finishing one more task before they allow themselves to rest.

3. ☿Mercury in Taurus

   ♉ 8° Taurus 58'

   mind and voice

   They think slowly and thoroughly, and once they have reached a conclusion they rarely revisit it without good reason. Their communication is plain and practical rather than showy. The tension is taking a while to consider a new idea that clashes with what they already believe.

4. ♀Venus in Aries

   ♈ 14° Aries 11' ℞

   love and values

   They love with immediacy and pursue what they want without much hesitation, and they value a partner who can keep up. The tension is losing interest once the chase is over. It shows up as falling for someone fast and needing the relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

5. ♂Mars in Pisces

   ♓ 16° Pisces 04'

   drive and anger

   They act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and their anger can turn into sadness before they have even named it as anger. The tension is absorbing conflict rather than addressing it. It shows up as needing to physically leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

6. ♃Jupiter in Gemini

   ♊ 1° Gemini 12'

   growth and excess

   They grow through learning and exposure to as many ideas as they can gather, and their optimism is contagious in conversation. The overreach is knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. It shows up as being the most well-read person in the room on subjects they have never actually studied closely.

7. ♄Saturn in Leo

   ♌ 9° Leo 57' ℞

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around genuine self-expression, often held back early by a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt shows up as downplaying their own achievements before anyone else can. It shows up as a hard-won, unshowy confidence that arrives once they stop waiting for permission to be seen.

8. ♅Uranus in Scorpio

   ♏ 10° Scorpio 36' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms power, secrecy and shared resources, often living through major upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. Personally, it can show up as a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

9. ♆Neptune in Sagittarius

   ♐ 16° Sagittarius 00' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of grand belief systems and utopian journeys. Personally, it can show up as a hopeful faith that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

10. ♇Pluto in Libra

    ♎ 12° Libra 37' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of partnership, justice and social contracts. Personally, it can show up as an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.

Aspects

How the planets in Gerard Way's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mars square Neptune

   0.1° separating

   Their drive can dissolve into confusion or self-doubt just when clarity matters most, especially around goals that involve other people's expectations. The lesson is separating the actual plan from the feeling of overwhelm around it.

2. Saturn square Uranus

   0.7° applying

   Their need for stability and their need for freedom can clash, showing up as either rigid routines that eventually snap or sudden breaks from commitments they had made in good faith. The lesson is designing structure loose enough to bend before it has to break.

3. Mercury square Saturn

   1.0° applying

   Their thinking can meet real self-doubt, showing up as over-editing or delaying a decision that was actually ready. Each time they share the imperfect draft anyway, this doubt loses a little more of its hold over what Gerard is willing to say out loud.

4. Venus opposition Pluto

   1.6° applying

   They feel a pull between wanting deep intimacy and a fear of losing themselves or their control inside it. Choosing vulnerability gradually, rather than guarding against it, tends to build the very depth Gerard is looking for.
