Jim Jarmusch’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jim Jarmusch was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on 22 January 1953, a Thursday. The Sun was in Aquarius, so Aquarius is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Taurus. Jim turns 73 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jim, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, three are in earth signs, three in air, three in water and one in fire. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs four and mutable signs two. Closest of the aspects is the square between Mercury and Neptune, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 22 January, among them Hidetoshi Nakata, John Hurt and Diane Lane. Mitsuo Kato was born on the very same day.

Jim Jarmusch’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 2° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Jim Jarmusch's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Taurus
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Jim, 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 Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, at each hour of the day.
Jim Jarmusch’s rising sign, by birth time

Jim Jarmusch’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jim Jarmusch’s private life.
Jim Jarmusch's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Jim more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Jim tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Jim will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Jim 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 Pisces, Jim is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Jupiter in Taurus
11° Taurus 29' at midday
growth and excess
In Jim's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.
For Jim, 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.
Uranus in Cancer
15° Cancer 49' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to Jim alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
23° Libra 53' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jim among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
22° Leo 30' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Jim, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jim Jarmusch’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.
Mercury square Neptune
about 1.1° at midday
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Jim Jarmusch is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 1.5° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Jim, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Mars trine Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Jim'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.
Mercury square Saturn
about 2.2° 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 Jim is willing to say out loud.
Venus trine Uranus
about 3.2° at midday
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Jim, 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.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 3.3° at midday
Jim tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
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?
