Joe Louis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Joe Louis was born on Wednesday, 13 May 1914, in Chambers County, Texas. Their zodiac sign was Taurus, with the Moon in Capricorn. Joe died on 12 April 1981, aged 66. StarMap has no verified birth time for Joe, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

Air carries the most weight: five of the ten planets, against earth three, fire one and water one. By modality the count is five fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. Gemini holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Saturn and Pluto. Closest of the aspects is the square between Sun and Jupiter, about 1.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 13 May, among them Stevie Wonder, Robert Pattinson and Romelu Lukaku.

Joe Louis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Taurus

about 22° Taurus at midday

A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Joe Louis 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.

All Taurus Suns

Moon sign

Capricorn

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Joe may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.

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 Chambers County, Texas, at each hour of the day.

Joe Louis’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Joe 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 13 May 1914, computed for Chambers County, Texas.

Joe Louis’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Joe Louis’s private life.

  1. Sun in Taurus

    22° Taurus 06' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Joe Louis'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.

  2. Moon in Capricorn

    Capricorn, all day

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Capricorn, Joe's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.

  3. Mercury in Taurus

    17° Taurus 40' at midday

    mind and voice

    With Mercury in Taurus, Joe 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.

  4. Venus in Gemini

    14° Gemini 50' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Joe probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.

  5. Mars in Leo

    6° Leo 00' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Joe its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    21° Aquarius 01' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Joe 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.

  7. Saturn in Gemini

    17° Gemini 45' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Joe that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.

  8. Uranus in Aquarius

    11° Aquarius 36' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Joe's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.

  9. Neptune in Cancer

    25° Cancer 48' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Cancer is shared by Joe and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    29° Gemini 43' at midday

    power, generational

    Joe shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects in Joe Louis’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.

  1. Sun square Jupiter

    about 1.1° at midday

    Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Joe Louis may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.

  2. Venus conjunction Saturn

    about 2.9° at midday

    Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Joe is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.

  3. Venus trine Uranus

    about 3.2° at midday

    Closeness does not have to feel confining for Joe, 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.

  4. Jupiter trine Saturn

    about 3.3° at midday

    Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Joe 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.

  5. Mercury square Jupiter

    about 3.3° at midday

    Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Joe can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.

  6. Sun sextile Neptune

    about 3.7° at midday

    Creativity and empathy are there when Joe makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
