John Lasseter’s birth chart
Born 12 January 1957, in Hollywood, California. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Capricorn Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
John Lasseter’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
12 January 1957 was a Saturday: the day John Lasseter was born in Hollywood, California. That makes John a Capricorn. The Moon was in Taurus until about 02:45 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. John turns 69 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in earth, one in air and one in water. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs two and mutable signs two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Pluto: a trine, 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, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 26 other people born on 12 January, among them Jeff Bezos, Hande Yener and Nikolai Noskov.

John Lasseter’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
about 22° Capricorn at midday
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry John Lasseter up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 02:45, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:45: 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 John, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 02:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For John, 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 Hollywood, California, at each hour of the day.
John Lasseter’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 12 January 1957, computed for Hollywood, California.

John Lasseter’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about John Lasseter’s private life.
With the Sun in Capricorn, John Lasseter is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 02:45, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 02:45: 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 John 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 02:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and John 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 Capricorn thinks methodically, and John tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. John will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Sagittarius or Capricorn
Sagittarius until about 12:25, then Capricorn
love and values
Born before about 12:25: Venus in Sagittarius
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and John probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Born after about 12:25: Venus in Capricorn
For John, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
For John, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Libra
1° Libra 46' at midday
growth and excess
In John's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
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, John 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 Leo
5° Leo 28' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
John shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
2° Scorpio 28' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that John shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
0° Virgo 02' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by John and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in John Lasseter’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.
Venus trine Pluto
about 0.1° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in John Lasseter'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.
Venus square Jupiter
about 1.8° at midday
Under this square, John's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Sun square Mars
about 1.8° at midday
Impatience, or a habit of picking fights that did not need picking, can come from the clash between John's sense of self and their drive to act. With the Sun square Mars, a pause between the impulse and the action turns this friction into determination they can use.
Venus sextile Neptune
about 2.5° at midday
Romance and creative warmth tend to be within easy reach for John, 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 square Mars
about 3.3° at midday
With Mercury square Mars, thought and impulse can clash, and sharp words get said before John has fully thought them through. The remedy is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 3.7° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so John can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
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.
