Aries Sun · Moon in Leo or Virgo
Jesse McCartney’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jesse McCartney was born in New York City, New York, on 9 April 1987, a Thursday. That makes Jesse an Aries. The Moon changed sign at about 19:30, from Leo to Virgo; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Jesse turns 39 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Jesse; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against water three, earth one and air one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, one and five. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Neptune: a square, about 1.1° 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: Saturn, Uranus and Pluto. Neptune changed direction that day, turning retrograde, 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 9 April, among them Jean-Paul Belmondo, Kristen Stewart and Hugh Hefner. Blaise Matuidi was born on the very same day.

Jesse McCartney’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 19° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Jesse McCartney that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 19:30, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 19:30: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Jesse up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 19:30: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Jesse 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 York City, New York, at each hour of the day.
Jesse McCartney’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jesse 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 9 April 1987, computed for New York City, New York.

Jesse McCartney’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jesse McCartney’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Jesse McCartney's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 19:30, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 19:30: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Jesse faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Jesse did.
Born after about 19:30: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Jesse's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Jesse's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Jesse is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Jesse 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Jesse is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Aries
9° Aries 07' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Jesse's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
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, Jesse 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.
Uranus in Sagittarius
26° Sagittarius 41' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Jesse 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 Capricorn
8° Capricorn 00' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Jesse and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.
Pluto in Scorpio
9° Scorpio 07' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Jesse's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
Aspects in Jesse McCartney’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.
Jupiter square Neptune
about 1.1° at midday
Jupiter square Neptune lets optimism drift into wishful thinking, and plans can end up built more on hope than on a clear reading of the situation. For Jesse McCartney the answer may be to keep hoping and to pair that hope with an honest look at the details.
Mercury square Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Jesse may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Sun trine Saturn
about 1.8° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Jesse'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.
Mercury square Saturn
about 4.1° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Jesse is willing to say out loud.
Venus trine Pluto
about 5.2° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Jesse's chart, the kind of pairing that gives relationships staying power through hard times. Depth can arrive here without constant upheaval, and that is rarer, and more durable, than the intensity some people mistake for closeness.
Saturn conjunction Uranus
about 5.6° at midday
With discipline and the need for independence fused, Jesse tends to build structure their own way instead of inheriting someone else's. Saturn conjunct Uranus makes them an original builder, and the challenge is letting a good structure stay flexible and not harden into another rule.
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?
