Josh Radnor’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
29 July 1974 was a Monday: the day Josh Radnor was born in Columbus, Ohio. Their zodiac sign is Leo, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Josh turns 52 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Water carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against fire three, air two and earth one. Cardinal signs hold five, mutable signs four and fixed signs one. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Mercury, Venus and Saturn. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Neptune: a trine, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Jupiter and Neptune. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds nine other people born on 29 July, among them Eyvind Johnson, Harry Mulisch and Mikis Theodorakis.

Josh Radnor’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 6° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Josh Radnor that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
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 Columbus, Ohio, at each hour of the day.
Josh Radnor’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 29 July 1974, computed for Columbus, Ohio.

Josh Radnor’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Josh Radnor’s private life.
Purpose for Josh Radnor is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
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.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Josh probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Josh that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Josh is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Pisces
17° Pisces 05' at midday ℞
growth and excess
For Josh, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.
Emotional security is where Josh's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Libra
23° Libra 59' at midday
freedom, generational
Josh holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
6° Sagittarius 57' 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
4° Libra 36' 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 Radnor’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.
Sun trine Neptune
about 0.8° at midday
Josh Radnor'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 Jupiter
about 1.1° at midday
Josh's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 1.5° at midday
Josh's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 1.8° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Josh is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 5.0° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Josh pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Venus square Pluto
about 5.6° at midday
Where Venus squares Pluto, the desire for closeness can get tangled with control, and the aspect is associated with jealousy, possessiveness or testing a partner's loyalty. Whenever Josh chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
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.

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?
