James Blake’s birth chart

James Blake's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Capricorn

   ♑ 6° Capricorn 21'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast they, and their vitality is steady rather than showy. The tension is measuring their worth by output alone. It shows up as working through the tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.

2. ☽Moon in Taurus

   ♉ 8° Taurus 34'

   needs and habits

   They need routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. Sudden schedule changes unsettle they more than they let on. It shows up in how much a good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

3. ☿Mercury in Sagittarius

   ♐ 22° Sagittarius 57'

   mind and voice

   They think in big, connective leaps and communicate with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The tension is generalising past what the details actually support. It shows up as answering a specific question with a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

4. ♀Venus in Aquarius

   ♒ 7° Aquarius 20'

   love and values

   They love as a friend first, and they value independence, shared ideas and a partner who does not crowd they. The tension is keeping just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach even to they. It shows up as valuing a partner's individuality sometimes more than the intimacy between they.

5. ♂Mars in Virgo

   ♍ 13° Virgo 21'

   drive and anger

   They act carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and their anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. The tension is criticising instead of confronting when James is actually upset. It shows up as a clipped tone that signals frustration well before they say anything directly.

6. ♃Jupiter in Virgo

   ♍ 10° Virgo 14' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Virgo

   ♍ 26° Virgo 56'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around competence, often driven by a fear that they have not yet done enough to deserve rest. The doubt shows up as feeling like a fraud even when their actual track record says otherwise. It shows up as becoming genuinely, quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.

8. ♅Uranus in Scorpio

   ♏ 23° Scorpio 53'

   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

   ♐ 20° Sagittarius 47'

   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

    ♎ 21° Libra 33'

    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 James Blake's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Neptune sextile Pluto

   0.8° applying

   Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.

2. Moon square Venus

   1.2° separating

   Their emotional needs and their desire for harmony can conflict, leading they to swallow a real feeling to keep things smooth. Learning that a little honest friction is safe for the relationship resolves this over time.

3. Mercury sextile Pluto

   1.4° separating

   Their thinking and their depth cooperate, giving they useful access to insight without unnecessary intensity. They notice what others miss, without much extra effort, which makes they a genuinely useful person to have in a hard conversation.

4. Moon trine Jupiter

   1.7° applying

   Their feelings and their optimism reinforce each other, giving they a naturally buoyant emotional life that recovers well from setbacks. People find real comfort in their presence, even on days when they have not said very much at all.
