John Turturro’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
John Turturro was born in Brooklyn, New York, on 28 February 1957, a Thursday. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Aquarius for Pisces at about 13:25 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. John turns 69 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for John; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is three fire, two earth, two air and two water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Fixed signs hold six, mutable signs three and cardinal signs none. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Pluto: an opposition, about 0.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning crescent to new.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 28 February, among them Frank Gehry, Gilbert Gottfried and Dino Zoff.

John Turturro’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 9° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make John Turturro the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 13:25, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 13:25: 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 13:25: 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 Brooklyn, New York, at each hour of the day.
John Turturro’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 28 February 1957, computed for Brooklyn, New York.

John Turturro’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about John Turturro’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and John Turturro's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.

needs and habits
Born before about 13:25: 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 13:25: 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.
In John's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. John may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times John may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Virgo
29° Virgo 01' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For John, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
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
3° Leo 33' 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 24' 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 Leo
28° Leo 56' 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 John, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in John Turturro’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 opposition Pluto
about 0.4° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For John Turturro, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
Venus trine Neptune
about 3.8° at midday
John is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
Sun square Saturn
about 4.0° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When John pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 4.5° 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.
Mercury square Mars
about 4.5° 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.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 4.8° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties John's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
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.
