James Blunt’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
22 February 1974 was a Friday: the day James Blunt was born in Tidworth, England. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Pisces. James turns 52 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in air signs, three in water, two in earth and one in fire. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, two and five. Sun, Moon and Mercury all fall in Pisces. The tightest aspect is Venus trine Mars, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. The Moon was new.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 22 February, among them Drew Barrymore, Luis Buñuel and Steve Irwin.

James Blunt’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 3° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make James Blunt the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Pisces
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Pisces, James 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.
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 Tidworth, England, at each hour of the day.

James Blunt’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about James Blunt’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and James Blunt's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
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 James more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and James is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
For James, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times James may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Aquarius
26° Aquarius 41' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. James may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For James that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
27° Libra 34' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
James 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 Sagittarius
9° Sagittarius 31' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to James in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
6° Libra 17' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation James 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 James Blunt’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.
Venus trine Mars
about 0.1° at midday
James Blunt is likely to have a warm, confident way of going after what, and who, they want, since affection and drive back each other up. Romance and creative work tend to come without strain under this trine, in a manner other people find refreshingly straightforward.
Venus square Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
In James's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
This trine lets James build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mars square Jupiter
about 0.6° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and James may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives James a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets James pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.

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?
