John Lithgow’s birth chart

John Lithgow's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Libra

   ♎ 25° Libra 56'

   purpose and vitality

   Their vitality rises in good company, and purpose feels real when John is creating balance or beauty with other people. The tension is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. It shows up as how much harder it is to decide things alone than with a second opinion in the room.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 4° Aries 17'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Scorpio

   ♏ 7° Scorpio 25'

   mind and voice

   They think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is actually spoken aloud. Their communication is direct once they have decided to speak, and silent until then. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.

4. ♀Venus in Libra

   ♎ 0° Libra 39'

   love and values

   They love with an instinct for balance and partnership, and they value harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The tension is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. It shows up as compromising on their own preference before anyone has even asked they to.

5. ♂Mars in Cancer

   ♋ 21° Cancer 49'

   drive and anger

   They act to protect the people and things they care about, and their anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The tension is going quiet or indirect instead of naming what upset they. It shows up as a mood shift that takes people a while to trace back to its actual cause.

6. ♃Jupiter in Libra

   ♎ 11° Libra 47'

   growth and excess

   They grow through partnership and a genuine gift for bringing people together. The overreach is people-pleasing so broadly that they end up overcommitted to everyone's expectations at once. It shows up as being the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.

7. ♄Saturn in Cancer

   ♋ 24° Cancer 36'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around emotional security, often shaped by an early home life that asked they to be steadier than a child should have to be. The doubt shows up as difficulty asking for care even when they clearly need it. It shows up as becoming, over time, the dependable emotional anchor for people who never quite return the favour.

8. ♅Uranus in Gemini

   ♊ 17° Gemini 09' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by an entire generational span, this placement marks people who come of age alongside a communication revolution, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. Personally, it can show up as a restless need for new information.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 6° Libra 54'

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 11° Leo 40'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in John Lithgow's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Jupiter sextile Pluto

   0.1° separating

   Their sense of possibility and their depth cooperate, giving they acces to meaningful growth without constant upheaval. Opportunities that matter tend to find they at a manageable pace, rather than arriving all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.

2. Sun square Saturn

   1.3° separating

   Their confidence meets real resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. Each time they push through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was actually tested.

3. Moon opposition Neptune

   2.6° applying

   They feel a pull between grounded emotional honesty and a tendency to idealise how a relationship or a situation feels. Checking a feeling against what is actually happening keeps this pull from becoming a pattern of disappointment.

4. Mars conjunction Saturn

   2.8° applying

   Their drive is disciplined and controlled, and they channel energy into long, patient effort rather than short bursts. This makes they genuinely capable of sustained work, and the edge is not letting caution talk they out of acting when the moment actually calls for it.
