Julie Benz’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Julie Benz was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 1 May 1972, a Monday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Julie turns 54 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Julie; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is four air, three fire, three earth and no water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is three, one and six. Three planets stand together in Gemini: Venus, Mars and Saturn. The tightest aspect is Mercury opposition Uranus, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 May, among them Anushka Sharma, Leonardo Bonucci and Joseph Heller.

Julie Benz’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 11° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Julie Benz than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
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 Julie, 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 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
Julie Benz’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Julie 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 1 May 1972, computed for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Julie Benz’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Julie Benz’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Julie Benz's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
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 Julie edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Aries suggests that Julie thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Julie probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
With Mars in Gemini, Julie is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Capricorn
8° Capricorn 15' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Julie would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Julie that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
15° Libra 14' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Julie 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
4° Sagittarius 29' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Julie in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
29° Virgo 41' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Julie and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Julie Benz’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.
Mercury opposition Uranus
about 0.5° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, Julie Benz's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 1.4° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Julie, wanting something and going after it are likely to feel like one impulse. The aspect brings plenty of romantic and creative energy; its test is letting the wanting outlast the first chase.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 1.7° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Julie is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 3.1° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Julie's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Venus square Pluto
about 5.2° 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 Julie chooses trust over control, that intensity becomes a strength instead of a strain.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 6.5° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Julie can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
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?
