Mae Jemison’s birth chart

Mae Jemison's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Libra

   ♎ 24° Libra 18'

   purpose and vitality

   Their vitality rises in good company, and purpose feels real when Mae is creating balance or beauty with other people. The tension is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. It shows up as how much harder it is to decide things alone than with a second opinion in the room.

2. ☽Moon in Aries

   ♈ 0° Aries 13'

   needs and habits

   Their day to day needs are simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. Comfort comes from action rather than discussion. It shows up as pacing the room or going for a walk instead of sitting with a feeling until it passes on its own.

3. ☿Mercury in Libra

   ♎ 7° Libra 50'

   mind and voice

   They think by weighing both sides, and they communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. The tension is taking so long to land on an opinion that the moment for it passes. It shows up as genuinely changing their mind mid conversation because the other point had merit.

4. ♀Venus in Virgo

   ♍ 13° Virgo 19'

   love and values

   They love through small, practical acts of service, and they value competence and reliability in a partner. The tension is critiquing the people they love the most, mistaking notes for care. It shows up as fixing a partner's problem before they have simply listened to it.

5. ♂Mars in Pisces

   ♓ 13° Pisces 30'

   drive and anger

   They act indirectly, often through avoidance or quiet withdrawal rather than confrontation, and their anger can turn into sadness before they have even named it as anger. The tension is absorbing conflict rather than addressing it. It shows up as needing to physically leave a tense room before they can work out what they feel.

6. ♃Jupiter in Virgo

   ♍ 21° Virgo 08'

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Sagittarius

   ♐ 0° Sagittarius 42'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

8. ♅Uranus in Leo

   ♌ 6° Leo 41'

   freedom, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who redefine self-expression and individuality, often through new forms of creativity and visibility unavailable to earlier generations. Personally, it can show up as comfort being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.

9. ♆Neptune in Libra

   ♎ 29° Libra 56'

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by media images of love that outpace real relationships. Personally, it can show up as a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 29° Leo 56'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Mae Jemison's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Neptune sextile Pluto

   0.0° applying

   Shared by this generation, the placement marks collective imagination and transformation cooperating gently, with relatively little friction. Personally, it can show up as cultural belief shifting alongside deeper change with real ease.

2. Venus opposition Mars

   0.2° applying

   They feel a pull between what they want for themselves and what keeps a relationship harmonious, especially around desire and assertiveness. Naming a want plainly, rather than either suppressing it or forcing it, tends to serve both sides.

3. Moon trine Saturn

   0.5° applying

   Their feelings and their sense of discipline support each other, so they manage difficult emotions with real maturity and without much drama. This steadiness is a genuine asset, especially under pressure, and it is often the quality people trust they for the most.

4. Saturn square Pluto

   0.8° separating

   Their need for control and their instinct for transformation can clash, showing up as gripping tightly to a structure precisely when it most needs to change. Each time they let the old form go, the resulting strength is more genuine than the grip was.
