James Harden’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

26 August 1989 was a Saturday: the day James Harden was born in Los Angeles, California. That makes James a Virgo, with the Moon in Cancer. James turns 37 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for James, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Of the ten planets, five are in earth signs, three in water and two in air; none is in fire. By modality the count is seven cardinal, two mutable and one fixed. Capricorn holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Neptune: a square, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The Moon was a waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 26 August, among them Mother Teresa, Chris Pine and Macaulay Culkin. Wikidata links James with one person in the dataset: Khloé Kardashian (listed as partners, 2015 to 2016).

James Harden’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Virgo

about 3° Virgo at midday

A Virgo Sun refines. James Harden 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.

All Virgo Suns

Moon sign

Cancer

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For James that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.

James Harden’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for James 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 26 August 1989, computed for Los Angeles, California.

James Harden’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about James Harden’s private life.

  1. Sun in Virgo

    3° Virgo 30' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and James Harden'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.

  2. Moon in Cancer

    Cancer, all day

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Cancer, James's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.

  3. Mercury in Libra

    0° Libra 34' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and James 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.

  4. Venus in Libra

    10° Libra 20' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and James probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. James may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.

  5. Mars in Virgo

    14° Virgo 42' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, James is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.

  6. Jupiter in Cancer

    5° Cancer 01' at midday

    growth and excess

    For James, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn

    7° Capricorn 29' at midday ℞

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for James, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    1° Capricorn 25' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Many people within a few years of James's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    9° Capricorn 46' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Capricorn is shared by James and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio

    12° Scorpio 42' at midday

    power, generational

    Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. James's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.

Aspects in James Harden’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.

  1. Venus square Neptune

    about 0.6° at midday

    Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. James Harden's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.

  2. Mercury square Uranus

    about 0.8° at midday

    With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or James may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.

  3. Sun sextile Jupiter

    about 1.5° at midday

    Optimism is part of who James is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.

  4. Mars sextile Pluto

    about 2.0° at midday

    This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to James without constant conflict. James is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.

  5. Sun trine Uranus

    about 2.1° at midday

    Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because James's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.

  6. Saturn conjunction Neptune

    about 2.3° at midday

    James tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.

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?
