JJ Cale’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
JJ Cale was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on 5 December 1938, a Monday. The Sun was in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Taurus. They died on 26 July 2013, aged 74. No verified birth time is on file for them; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against earth three, air two and water one. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, five and three. The tightest aspect is Mars trine Jupiter, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 5 December, among them Walt Disney, José Carreras and Little Richard.

JJ Cale’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 12° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull JJ Cale forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
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 JJ Cale, 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 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at each hour of the day.

JJ Cale’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about JJ Cale’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where JJ Cale's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles JJ Cale more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
JJ Cale's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and JJ Cale is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
In JJ Cale's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Aquarius
25° Aquarius 58' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. JJ Cale may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For JJ Cale, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Taurus
14° Taurus 44' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that JJ Cale shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
23° Virgo 13' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so JJ Cale shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Leo
1° Leo 16' 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 JJ Cale, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in JJ Cale’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 trine Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in JJ Cale's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
Sun trine Saturn
about 1.7° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because JJ Cale'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.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 3.1° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for JJ Cale, thanks to a gentle working link between affection and imagination. The tenderness is soft and pleasant, not an intense longing, and it is the sort that makes ordinary moments with someone feel a little more meaningful.
Mercury sextile Mars
about 3.6° at midday
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to JJ Cale, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Mercury sextile Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
JJ Cale's thinking and optimism keep easy company, which gives their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity does much of the work with this aspect, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.
Mars square Pluto
about 5.2° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, JJ Cale's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.

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?
