James Marsden’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

James Marsden was born on Tuesday, 18 September 1973, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That makes James a Virgo, with the Moon in Gemini. James turns 53 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for James; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

Air carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against earth two, water two and fire one. By modality the count is four cardinal, three fixed and three mutable. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mercury, Uranus and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Pluto: a square, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Jupiter. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning gibbous to last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 18 September, among them Anna Netrebko, Ronaldo and Greta Garbo. Mark Shuttleworth was born on the very same day.

James Marsden’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Virgo

about 25° Virgo at midday

A Virgo Sun refines. James Marsden 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

Gemini

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

The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For James, 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.

James Marsden’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 18 September 1973, computed for Stillwater, Oklahoma.

James Marsden’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Virgo

    25° Virgo 37' at midday

    purpose and vitality

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

    Gemini, all day

    needs and habits

    The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and James 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.

  3. Mercury in Libra

    8° Libra 27' 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 Scorpio

    6° Scorpio 13' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and James is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.

  5. Mars in Taurus

    9° Taurus 15' at midday

    drive and anger

    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.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    2° Aquarius 26' 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.

  7. Saturn in Cancer

    4° Cancer 00' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Emotional security is where James's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.

  8. Uranus in Libra

    21° Libra 41' 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.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    4° Sagittarius 57' 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.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    3° Libra 56' 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 Marsden’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. Saturn square Pluto

    about 0.1° at midday

    Saturn square Pluto sets the need for control against the instinct for transformation, and James Marsden may grip a structure most tightly at the very moment it needs to change. Each old form that is let go leaves a strength behind that is more real than the grip was.

  2. Jupiter trine Pluto

    about 1.5° at midday

    In this trine, James's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.

  3. Venus trine Saturn

    about 2.2° at midday

    A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives James, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.

  4. Jupiter sextile Neptune

    about 2.5° at midday

    Inspired ideas are within James's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.

  5. Venus opposition Mars

    about 3.0° at midday

    Venus opposite Mars sets what James wants for themselves against what keeps a relationship harmonious, most of all around desire and assertiveness. Naming a want plainly, instead of swallowing it or forcing it, tends to serve both sides.

  6. Mercury sextile Neptune

    about 3.5° at midday

    James's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of 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?
