Jean Arthur’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jean Arthur was born in Plattsburgh, New York, on 17 October 1900, a Wednesday. Their zodiac sign was Libra, with the Moon in Leo. Jean died on 19 June 1991, aged 90. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jean, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in fire signs, three in air, one in earth and one in water. Mutable signs hold five, fixed signs three and cardinal signs one. Closest of the aspects is the square between Venus and Uranus, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 17 October, among them Eminem, Arthur Miller and Rita Hayworth.

Jean Arthur’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 23° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Jean Arthur's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Jean up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Plattsburgh, New York, at each hour of the day.
Jean Arthur’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jean 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 17 October 1900, computed for Plattsburgh, New York.

Jean Arthur’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jean Arthur’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Jean Arthur's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Jean faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Jean did.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Jean tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
With Venus in Virgo, Jean is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Jean its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
9° Sagittarius 35' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Jean is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 00:55, then Capricorn
discipline and doubt
Born before about 00:55: Saturn in Sagittarius
Saturn in Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Jean is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Born after about 00:55: Saturn in Capricorn
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 Jean, 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 Sagittarius
9° Sagittarius 58' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Jean than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Gemini
29° Gemini 11' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
The dream of Neptune in Gemini is a collective one, shared across roughly fourteen years of births. The imagination of Jean's generation is shaped by information moving faster than anyone can fully verify. Its personal form is finding it hard to tell a compelling story apart from a true one.
Pluto in Gemini
17° Gemini 32' at midday ℞
power, generational
Jean shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Jean Arthur’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 square Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
In Jean Arthur'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.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus
about 0.4° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Jean is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Venus square Jupiter
about 0.6° at midday
Under this square, Jean's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 0.8° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Jean is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Mars trine Uranus
about 2.0° at midday
Jean's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 2.4° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Jean's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
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?
