Janet McTeer’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Janet McTeer was born on Saturday, 5 August 1961, in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Their zodiac sign is Leo. The Moon changed sign at about 00:05, from Taurus to Gemini; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Janet turns 65 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Janet; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in earth, two in water and one in air. By modality the count is five fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. Sun, Mercury and Uranus all fall in Leo. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 1.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter and Saturn were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 5 August, among them Kajol, John Huston and Gavi.

Janet McTeer’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 12° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Janet McTeer that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 00:05, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:05: 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 Janet, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 00:05: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Janet, 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 Newcastle upon Tyne, England, at each hour of the day.
Janet McTeer’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Janet 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 5 August 1961, computed for Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Janet McTeer’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Janet McTeer’s private life.
Purpose for Janet McTeer is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 00:05, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 00:05: 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 Janet 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 00:05: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Janet 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.
Mercury in Leo gives Janet a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Janet more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Janet that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
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, Janet is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Aquarius
0° Aquarius 49' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Janet 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 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 Janet, 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.
Uranus in Leo
25° Leo 17' at midday
freedom, generational
Janet shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
8° Scorpio 36' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Janet shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
6° Virgo 59' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Janet and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Janet McTeer’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.
Mercury opposition Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
With Mercury opposite Jupiter, Janet McTeer's own considered opinion has to compete with other people's big claims and grand theories, and it is easy to get swept into someone else's certainty. For Janet, trusting their own careful thinking usually works better than borrowing that confidence.
Mars trine Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Janet is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Sun square Neptune
about 4.2° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Janet's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 5.5° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Janet'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 square Neptune
about 5.8° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Janet is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it 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?
