Jay Leno’s birth chart
Born 28 April 1950, in New Rochelle, New York. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Virgo Moon
Jay Leno’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
28 April 1950 was a Friday: the day Jay Leno was born in New Rochelle, New York. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Virgo. Jay turns 76 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, five are in earth signs, three in water, one in fire and one in air. Mutable signs hold five, fixed signs three and cardinal signs two. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Mars and Saturn. The tightest aspect is Venus opposition Mars, about 0.2° 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 all day: Mars, Saturn and Neptune. Pluto changed direction that day, turning direct, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 28 April, among them Penélope Cruz, Jessica Alba and Harper Lee.

Jay Leno’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 7° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Jay Leno than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Virgo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Jay is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
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 New Rochelle, New York, at each hour of the day.
Jay Leno’s rising sign, by birth time

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 28 April 1950, computed for New Rochelle, New York.

Jay Leno’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jay Leno’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Jay Leno's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Jay's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Jay's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
With Mercury in Taurus, Jay is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Jay probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
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, Jay is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Pisces
2° Pisces 17' at midday
growth and excess
For Jay, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Jay may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Cancer
2° Cancer 00' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Jay alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
15° Libra 23' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jay among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
15° Leo 46' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Jay, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jay Leno’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 opposition Mars
about 0.2° at midday
Venus opposite Mars sets what Jay Leno 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.
Jupiter trine Uranus
about 0.3° at midday
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Jay 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.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 4.1° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Jay's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Mercury trine Mars
about 4.2° at midday
Jay's thinking and drive support each other, and it shows in decisions communicated with clarity and confidence. Debate and quick thinking come easily with Mercury trine Mars, which makes Jay persuasive when the moment calls for it.
Sun trine Saturn
about 5.0° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Jay's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 5.5° at midday
Optimism is part of who Jay 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.
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?
