Jonathan Banks’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jonathan Banks was born on Friday, 31 January 1947, in Washington, D.C. The Sun was in Aquarius, so Aquarius is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Taurus for Gemini at about 06:50 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Jonathan turns 79 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Jonathan; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is five air, three fire, one water and no earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is one, six and two. Aquarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Mars. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Saturn: an opposition, about 0.1° 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: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 31 January, among them Justin Timberlake, Kenzaburō Ōe and Norman Mailer.

Jonathan Banks’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 10° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in Jonathan Banks's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 06:50, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 06:50: 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 Jonathan, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 06:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Jonathan, 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 Washington, D.C., at each hour of the day.
Jonathan Banks’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jonathan 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 31 January 1947, computed for Washington, D.C..

Jonathan Banks’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jonathan Banks’s private life.
Jonathan Banks's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.

Taurus until about 06:50, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 06:50: 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 Jonathan 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 06:50: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Jonathan 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.
In Jonathan'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 Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Jonathan 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.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Jonathan can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Scorpio
24° Scorpio 58' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Jonathan, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Jonathan's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.
Uranus in Gemini
18° Gemini 00' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Jonathan and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
10° Libra 42' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jonathan among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
12° Leo 13' 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 Jonathan, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jonathan Banks’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.
Mars opposition Saturn
about 0.1° at midday
Mars opposite Saturn can set Jonathan Banks's wish to act against a fear of being blocked or criticised for it, and the result may be frustration with anything that slows them down. Working steadily around an obstacle usually gets further than fighting it head on.
Sun trine Neptune
about 0.3° at midday
Jonathan's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
Mercury trine Uranus
about 1.1° at midday
Insight is likely to come to Jonathan fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.
Sun opposition Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
The Sun opposite Pluto sets plain self-assertion against the draw of power struggles with people who seem to threaten Jonathan's sense of control. Working through it leaves Jonathan with a strength that has no need to prove itself.
Mercury opposition Pluto
about 4.7° at midday
With Mercury opposite Pluto, other people's attempts to control the story can collide with Jonathan's own conclusions and turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the argument itself, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
Mars trine Neptune
about 5.8° at midday
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Jonathan's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
