Jerry Lee Lewis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jerry Lee Lewis was born in Ferriday, Louisiana, on 29 September 1935, a Sunday. Their zodiac sign was Libra. The Moon was in Libra until about 16:05 and in Scorpio afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Jerry died on 28 October 2022, aged 87. No verified birth time is on file for Jerry; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four water, three earth, one fire and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Mutable signs hold four, fixed signs three and cardinal signs two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Saturn and Uranus: a sextile, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. Venus changed direction that day, turning direct, so whether it was retrograde at the birth depends on the hour. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 29 September, among them Silvio Berlusconi, Ian McShane and Andriy Shevchenko.

Jerry Lee Lewis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 5° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Jerry Lee Lewis'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
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 16:05, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 16:05: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Jerry, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 16:05: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Jerry that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Ferriday, Louisiana, at each hour of the day.
Jerry Lee Lewis’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jerry 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 29 September 1935, computed for Ferriday, Louisiana.
| Born around (local time) | Rising sign |
|---|---|
| 00:00 to 01:55 UTC−5 | Cancer rising |
| 01:55 UTC−5 to 03:20 | Leo rising |
| 03:20 to 05:35 | Virgo rising |
| 05:35 to 07:55 | Libra rising |
| 07:55 to 10:20 | Scorpio rising |
| 10:20 to 12:40 | Sagittarius rising |
| 12:40 to 14:35 | Capricorn rising |
| 14:35 to 16:15 | Aquarius rising |
| 16:15 to 17:35 | Pisces rising |
| 17:35 to 19:00 | Aries rising |
| 19:00 to 20:35 | Taurus rising |
| 20:35 to 22:35 | Gemini rising |
| 22:35 to 24:00 | Cancer rising |
Times are rounded to five minutes. Close to a boundary, a few minutes either way change the answer. The clocks there went back an hour at 02:00 that day, so the times from 01:00 to 02:00 happened twice: first at UTC−5, then at UTC−6. Times in that stretch carry their offset.

Jerry Lee Lewis’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jerry Lee Lewis’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Jerry Lee Lewis'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.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 16:05, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 16:05: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Jerry's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Born after about 16:05: Moon in Scorpio
For Jerry, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Jerry 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, Jerry 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 Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Jerry may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Scorpio
21° Scorpio 44' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Jerry, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Jerry, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Taurus
4° Taurus 36' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Jerry shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
15° Virgo 07' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Jerry shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Cancer
27° Cancer 13' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Jerry to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Jerry Lee Lewis’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.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Jerry Lee Lewis a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Venus opposition Saturn
about 1.8° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Jerry, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
Venus trine Uranus
about 2.0° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Jerry, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.
Venus square Mars
about 2.5° at midday
Desire and the need for harmony can clash where Venus squares Mars, and Jerry may be caught between wanting something and wanting to keep the peace. What the aspect asks for is a want voiced directly, before it leaks out sideways.
Sun sextile Mars
about 3.4° at midday
Jerry's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Mercury square Pluto
about 3.5° at midday
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Jerry looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
