Josh Groban’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Josh Groban was born in Los Angeles, California, on 27 February 1981, a Friday. That makes Josh a Pisces, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Josh turns 45 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Air carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, water two and earth none. By modality the count is five mutable, three cardinal and one fixed. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Uranus and Neptune. Libra holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. They are slow planets, so the grouping is shared with people born around the same time. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 27 February, among them John Steinbeck, Elizabeth Taylor and Joanne Woodward.

Josh Groban’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 Josh Groban the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Josh, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Los Angeles, California, at each hour of the day.
Josh Groban’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Josh 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 27 February 1981, computed for Los Angeles, California.

Josh Groban’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Josh Groban’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Josh Groban'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.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Josh edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
In Josh'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 or Pisces
Aquarius until about 22:00, then Pisces
love and values
Born before about 22:00: Venus in Aquarius
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Josh 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.
Born after about 22:00: Venus in Pisces
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Josh probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
With Mars in Pisces, Josh is likely to act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and anger can turn into sadness before it has even been named as anger. The habit is to absorb conflict rather than address it. Often they need to leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.
Jupiter in Libra
8° Libra 37' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In Josh'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.
For Josh, Saturn in Libra means discipline built around relationships, and fairness and commitment are trusted slowly. The doubt is overthinking whether a partnership is truly equal. With time, people with this Saturn tend to become the ones others rely on to negotiate and to keep things fair.
Uranus in Sagittarius
0° Sagittarius 05' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Josh than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Sagittarius
24° Sagittarius 38' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Josh in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
24° Libra 03' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Josh belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Josh Groban’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.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn
about 0.2° at midday
Growth and discipline are unusually well matched when Jupiter is conjunct Saturn, so Josh Groban's optimism tends to come with a realistic plan attached. It is an effective combination for building things that last, with vision balanced by the patience to see it through.
Venus square Uranus
about 0.6° at midday
In Josh's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 3.9° at midday
Josh's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Josh can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 4.5° at midday
Josh's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Venus trine Pluto
about 5.4° at midday
With Venus trine Pluto, affection and the capacity for change tend to strengthen each other in Josh'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.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 7.3° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Josh'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.
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.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
