Leo Sun · Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Jimmy Cliff’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
30 July 1944 was a Sunday: the day Jimmy Cliff was born in Saint James Parish, Jamaica. That made Jimmy a Leo. The Moon changed sign at about 03:50, from Scorpio to Sagittarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Jimmy died on 24 November 2025, aged 81. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jimmy, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three fire, three earth, two air and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four mutable, three fixed and two cardinal. Sun, Venus and Pluto all fall in Leo. Virgo holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Uranus: a square, about 0.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 30 July, among them Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Nolan and Patrick Modiano.

Jimmy Cliff’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 7° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Jimmy Cliff that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 03:50, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 03:50: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Jimmy that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Born after about 03:50: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Jimmy, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Saint James Parish, Jamaica, at each hour of the day.

Jimmy Cliff’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jimmy Cliff’s private life.
Purpose for Jimmy Cliff is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 03:50, then Sagittarius
needs and habits
Born before about 03:50: Moon in Scorpio
For Jimmy, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
Born after about 03:50: Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Jimmy edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
For Jimmy, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Jimmy, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Jimmy is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Virgo
0° Virgo 57' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Jimmy, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Emotional security is where Jimmy's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Gemini
12° Gemini 06' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Jimmy and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
2° Libra 04' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jimmy 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
8° Leo 18' 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 Jimmy, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jimmy Cliff’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 square Uranus
about 0.7° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Jimmy Cliff as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Sun conjunction Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Pluto, Jimmy's identity is likely to be intense and transformative, with feelings that run at full volume rather than in moderation. Depth and staying power are the reward, and the thing to outgrow is needing a situation to become a crisis before it feels meaningful.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 1.4° at midday
Jimmy's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Mercury sextile Saturn
about 2.7° at midday
Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Jimmy's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.
Saturn square Neptune
about 3.0° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Jimmy that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
about 4.1° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Jimmy's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
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.
