Jake Gyllenhaal’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jake Gyllenhaal was born in Los Angeles, California, on 19 December 1980, a Friday. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 08:40, from Taurus to Gemini; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Jake turns 46 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 four fire, three air, one earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four cardinal, four mutable and one fixed. Sagittarius holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune. Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Libra. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. The tightest aspect is Jupiter conjunction Saturn, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 19 December, among them Édith Piaf, Karim Benzema and Lee Myung-bak. Wikidata links Jake with three people in the dataset: Taylor Swift (listed as partners, 2010 to 2011), Kirsten Dunst (listed as partners, 2002 to 2004) and Reese Witherspoon (listed as partners, 2007 to 2009).

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 28° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Jake Gyllenhaal forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 08:40, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 08:40: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Jake, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 08:40: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Jake, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Los Angeles, California, at each hour of the day.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jake 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 19 December 1980, computed for Los Angeles, California.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jake Gyllenhaal’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Jake Gyllenhaal's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 08:40, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 08:40: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Jake more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 08:40: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Jake is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Jake's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Jake probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Jake's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Libra
8° Libra 25' at midday
growth and excess
In Jake'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.
For Jake, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 45' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Jake's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
22° Sagittarius 35' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Jake in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
23° Libra 55' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Jake belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Jake Gyllenhaal’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.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Jake Gyllenhaal's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 1.0° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Jake's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.
Mercury sextile Pluto
about 2.3° at midday
Jake's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
Mars square Pluto
about 2.6° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, Jake's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 4.2° at midday
Jake'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 Uranus
about 4.2° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Jake is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from 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?
