Jack Black’s birth chart
Born 28 August 1969, in Santa Monica, California. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Virgo Sun · Moon in Pisces or Aries
Jack Black’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 August 1969 was a Thursday: the day Jack Black was born in Santa Monica, California. That makes Jack a Virgo. The Moon was in Pisces until about 22:55 and in Aries afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Jack turns 57 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three earth, three air, one fire and one water, leaving out the Moon and Venus, whose signs depend on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold three, mutable signs three and fixed signs two. Three planets stand together in Libra: Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Uranus: a conjunction, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 28 August, among them Shania Twain, David Fincher and César Azpilicueta. Sheryl Sandberg was born on the very same day.

Jack Black’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 5° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Jack Black is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 22:55, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 22:55: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Jack may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Born after about 22:55: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Jack is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Santa Monica, California, at each hour of the day.
Jack Black’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jack yet. 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 August 1969, computed for Santa Monica, California.

Jack Black’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jack Black’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Jack Black's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
Moon in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 22:55, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 22:55: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Jack more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 22:55: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Jack, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Jack tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 19:45, then Leo
love and values
Born before about 19:45: Venus in Cancer
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Jack that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Born after about 19:45: Venus in Leo
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Jack, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Jack may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Libra
7° Libra 33' at midday
growth and excess
In Jack's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Jack 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 Libra
2° Libra 34' at midday
freedom, generational
Jack holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
26° Scorpio 03' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Jack shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
24° Virgo 11' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Jack and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Jack Black’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.
Mercury conjunction Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
Jack Black's thinking is likely to be quick, original and a step ahead of convention, with insights that arrive suddenly rather than through slow reasoning. Mercury conjunct Uranus makes for inventive thinking, and the courtesy worth learning is explaining the leap so that other people can follow it too.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Jack's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Venus sextile Uranus
about 3.0° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Jack's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Venus trine Neptune
about 3.6° at midday
Jack is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
Sun trine Saturn
about 3.6° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Jack's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 5.0° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Jack is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
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.
