John Huston’s birth chart
Born 5 August 1906, in Nevada, Missouri. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
John Huston’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
John Huston was born in Nevada, Missouri, on 5 August 1906, a Sunday. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Aquarius for Pisces at about 15:35 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. John died on 28 August 1987, aged 81. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three fire, three water, two earth and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold three, fixed signs three and mutable signs three. Sun, Mercury and Mars all fall in Leo. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Pluto: a sextile, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Mercury, Saturn and Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 5 August, among them Kajol, Gavi and Mark Strong.

John Huston’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 12° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For John Huston 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
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 15:35, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:35: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. John is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
Born after about 15:35: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, John may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Nevada, Missouri, at each hour of the day.
John Huston’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for John 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 5 August 1906, computed for Nevada, Missouri.

John Huston’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about John Huston’s private life.
Purpose for John Huston 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 Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 15:35, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 15:35: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and John is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Born after about 15:35: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores John more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Leo gives John a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make John more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
With Venus in Virgo, John is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for John 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.
Jupiter in Cancer
1° Cancer 10' at midday
growth and excess
For John, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For John, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Capricorn
5° Capricorn 07' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of John's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
11° Cancer 19' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by John 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.
Pluto in Gemini
23° Gemini 20' at midday
power, generational
John 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 John Huston’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 sextile Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
John Huston's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
Venus square Pluto
about 0.6° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever John chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Saturn trine Neptune
about 2.4° at midday
With Saturn trine Neptune, John's discipline and imagination steady each other, which makes it possible to build something both beautiful and structurally sound. Vision and follow-through tend to arrive together, a combination that is rare and worth trusting.
Jupiter opposition Uranus
about 4.0° at midday
One side of this opposition wants John to expand along a familiar path; the other wants them to leave it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win outright, and trying the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve them well.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 6.5° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, John's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
about 7.8° at midday
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and John is likely to pursue opportunities that change their circumstances outright instead of merely improving them. Ambition comes with it, and the skill is pacing that intensity so that it builds and does not flare and fade.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.
