Jerry Lewis’s birth chart
Born 16 March 1926, in Newark, New Jersey. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Pisces Sun · Moon in Aries or Taurus
Jerry Lewis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 March 1926 was a Tuesday: the day Jerry Lewis was born in Newark, New Jersey. Their zodiac sign was Pisces. The Moon left Aries for Taurus at about 11:05 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Jerry died on 20 August 2017, aged 91. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jerry, 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 water signs, two in fire, two in air and one in earth. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, four and two. The tightest aspect is Sun sextile Mars, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 16 March, among them Bernardo Bertolucci, Alexandra Daddario and Isabelle Huppert.

Jerry Lewis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 25° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Jerry Lewis the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 11:05, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 11:05: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Jerry is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Born after about 11:05: 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 Jerry, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Newark, New Jersey, at each hour of the day.
Jerry 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 16 March 1926, computed for Newark, New Jersey.

Jerry Lewis’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jerry Lewis’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Jerry Lewis's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
Moon in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 11:05, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 11:05: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Jerry, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Born after about 11:05: 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 Jerry more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Jerry thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Jerry may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Jerry's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Aquarius
16° Aquarius 00' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Jerry 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 in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Jerry letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Pisces
25° Pisces 25' at midday
freedom, generational
Jerry has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
22° Leo 34' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Jerry alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
12° Cancer 36' 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 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.
Sun sextile Mars
about 0.0° at midday
Jerry Lewis'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.
Sun conjunction Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
Independence is central to Jerry's identity with the Sun conjunct Uranus, along with a resistance to being defined by anyone else's idea of them. It makes them original and hard to predict, and the catch is a restlessness with routines that could serve them well.
Mars sextile Uranus
about 0.1° at midday
Bold, original action comes to Jerry without much friction, because drive and independence are on good terms in this sextile. It is useful initiative with little drama attached, the sort that tries something new without making a big production of it.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 0.6° at midday
This trine lets Jerry build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mercury square Pluto
about 0.6° 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.
Sun trine Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Jerry'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.

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?
