Jackson Browne’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jackson Browne was born on Saturday, 9 October 1948, in Heidelberg, Germany. That makes Jackson a Libra, with the Moon in Capricorn. Jackson turns 78 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jackson, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, three are in earth signs, three in water, two in fire and two in air. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Sun and Pluto, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury and Uranus were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing crescent to first quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 9 October, among them John Lennon, Guillermo del Toro and France Gall. Wikidata links Jackson with one person in the dataset: Daryl Hannah (listed as partners, 1983 to 1992).
Jackson Browne’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 16° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Jackson Browne's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Capricorn
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Jackson may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
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 Heidelberg, Germany, at each hour of the day.
Jackson Browne’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 9 October 1948, computed for Heidelberg, Germany.

Jackson Browne’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jackson Browne’s private life.
Sun in Libra
16° Libra 03' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Jackson Browne's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Capricorn
Capricorn, all day
needs and habits
With the Moon in Capricorn, Jackson's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Mercury in Scorpio
5° Scorpio 17' at midday ℞
mind and voice
With Mercury in Scorpio, Jackson tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Virgo
3° Virgo 20' at midday
love and values
With Venus in Virgo, Jackson is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Scorpio
24° Scorpio 28' at midday
drive and anger
In Jackson's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
23° Sagittarius 22' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Jackson is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Virgo
2° Virgo 16' at midday
discipline and doubt
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Jackson may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
0° Cancer 34' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Jackson alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
12° Libra 51' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jackson among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
16° Leo 12' 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 Jackson, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jackson Browne’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.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
Jackson Browne's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Jackson is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Jackson a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.0° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Jackson'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 2.8° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Jackson'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.
Mercury sextile Saturn
about 3.0° at midday
Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Jackson's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.
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?
