Jessica Alba’s birth chart
Born 28 April 1981, in Pomona, California, at 13:51 (Rodden AA).
Taurus Sun · Aquarius Moon · Leo rising
Jessica Alba’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jessica Alba was born on Tuesday, 28 April 1981, in Pomona, California. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Aquarius and Leo rising. Jessica turns 45 in 2026. The birth time, 13:51, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was quoted from a birth certificate or birth record.
Of the ten planets, four are in earth signs, four in air, one in fire and one in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, six and one. Taurus holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Libra. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Mercury: a conjunction, 1.4° from exact. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 28 April, among them Penélope Cruz, Harper Lee and Terry Pratchett.
Jessica Alba’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
8° Taurus 27'
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Jessica Alba 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
Aquarius
26° Aquarius 00'
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Jessica is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
Rising sign
Leo
27° Leo 56'
Leo rising comes across as warm and impossible to miss. People assume confidence whether or not it is felt, and Jessica's presence can change the temperature of a room.

Jessica Alba’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jessica Alba’s private life.
Sun in Taurus
8° Taurus 27' · ninth house
purpose and vitality
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Jessica Alba'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 Sun in the ninth house lets travel, ideas and a bigger philosophy of life shape the person Jessica is becoming, more than any single job or role could. They need room to explore new places and new questions, or they start to feel smaller and duller than they are.
Moon in Aquarius
26° Aquarius 00' · sixth house
needs and habits
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Jessica is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
The Moon in the sixth house ties the sense that all is well to daily routine, and an unpredictable schedule can leave Jessica more rattled than the problem itself warrants. Small, dependable habits, kept even loosely, calm them faster than anything else.
Mercury in Taurus
9° Taurus 50' · ninth house
mind and voice
With Mercury in Taurus, Jessica 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.
With Mercury in the ninth house, Jessica thinks in big frameworks and enjoys following an idea all the way to where it leads, even if that means a change of mind along the way. Foreign ideas, languages and philosophies excite them more than familiar, well-worn ones.
Venus in Taurus
14° Taurus 02' · ninth house
love and values
Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Jessica's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
With Venus in the ninth house, Jessica finds beauty in other cultures, in travel and in big, sweeping ideas about how the world works. A shared love of exploring somewhere new can be part of what attracts them to someone, and learning together can appeal deeply.
Mars in Taurus
2° Taurus 40' · ninth house
drive and anger
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Jessica may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
With Mars in the ninth house, Jessica is likely to pursue new ideas, travel and beliefs with restless energy, and a good debate about philosophy or politics can fire them up for hours. They would rather go out and find the answer than sit and wait for it to arrive.
Jupiter in Libra
1° Libra 40' ℞ · second house
growth and excess
In Jessica's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Open-handedness is the mark of Jupiter in the second house, and Jessica would probably rather share a good thing than guard it. Their values widen as more of the world is seen, and rarely stay fixed for long.
Saturn in Libra
4° Libra 06' ℞ · second house
discipline and doubt
For Jessica, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
With Saturn in the second house, Jessica takes what they own and what they value seriously, and a person with this placement can be more anxious about having enough than the situation calls for. Security, for them, comes from building something slowly and seeing exactly what it rests on.
Uranus in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 55' ℞ · fourth house
freedom, generational
Much of Jessica's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Uranus in the fourth house goes with an unconventional idea of home, and Jessica may well need more independence within a household than most people do. Stability, with this placement, probably includes room to be different rather than a fixed routine imposed from outside.
Neptune in Sagittarius
24° Sagittarius 34' ℞ · fourth house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Jessica in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Jessica is likely to be sensitive to the underlying mood of a household in ways that other people in the same room often miss. With Neptune in the fourth house, home can take on an idealised or slightly hazy quality, and the sense of family is apt to be more emotional than literal.
Pluto in Libra
22° Libra 31' ℞ · third house
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Jessica belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
With Pluto in the third house, Jessica's mind is drawn to what lies underneath a conversation, and they rarely settle for the tidy, surface version of an explanation. Words can be a way of exposing what other people would rather leave hidden, even when that makes things briefly uncomfortable.
Aspects in Jessica Alba’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun conjunction Mercury
1.4° separating
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Jessica Alba's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Moon sextile Neptune
1.4° separating
Jessica's feelings and imagination work gently together, so empathy and intuition are close to hand. Reading a room accurately, without anyone having to explain it, probably comes easily, and the sensitivity behind that is soft and likeable rather than overwhelming.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
2.4° separating
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Jessica's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
2.8° applying
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Jessica can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Moon square Uranus
2.9° applying
Needing people and needing independence can pull against each other under the Moon square Uranus, and the usual sign is a sudden withdrawal from an otherwise good relationship. Building in enough space from the start means Jessica does not need to bolt for it later.
Moon trine Pluto
3.5° separating
Jessica is likely to come through even difficult emotions stronger rather than depleted, because feeling and the capacity for change support each other. The resilience of a Moon-Pluto trine is quiet, the sort that other people only notice in hindsight.
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.
