Jim Lovell’s birth chart
Born 25 March 1928, in Cleveland, Ohio. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Jim Lovell’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
25 March 1928 was a Sunday: the day Jim Lovell was born in Cleveland, Ohio. That made Jim an Aries. The Moon left Taurus for Gemini at about 14:55 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Jim died on 7 August 2025, aged 97. No verified birth time is on file for Jim; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is five fire, three water, one air and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four cardinal, three mutable and two fixed. Sun, Jupiter and Uranus all fall in Aries. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Saturn: a sextile, about 1.0° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 25 March, among them Elton John, Aretha Franklin and Naftali Bennett.

Jim Lovell’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 4° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Jim Lovell 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
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 14:55, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 14:55: 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 Jim, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 14:55: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Jim, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
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 Cleveland, Ohio, at each hour of the day.
Jim Lovell’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jim 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 25 March 1928, computed for Cleveland, Ohio.

Jim Lovell’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jim Lovell’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Jim Lovell'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 Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 14:55, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 14:55: 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 Jim more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 14:55: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Jim is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Jim 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 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.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Jim can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Aries
13° Aries 40' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Jim'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, Jim 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 Aries
3° Aries 26' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Jim shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.
Neptune in Leo
26° Leo 51' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Jim 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
14° Cancer 59' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Jim 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 Jim Lovell’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.
Mars sextile Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Jim Lovell has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.
Jupiter square Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
Ambition can turn into a struggle for control under this square, over outcomes that were never fully Jim's to control. The considerable drive involved is better aimed at transformation than at domination, which tends to produce a result that lasts.
Sun conjunction Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
Independence is central to Jim'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.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 2.0° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Jim's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 5.4° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Jim pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Venus trine Pluto
about 5.7° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Jim'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.

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?
