Pharrell Williams’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Pharrell Williams was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on 5 April 1973, a Thursday. Their zodiac sign is Aries, with the Moon in Taurus. Pharrell turns 53 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Pharrell, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.

By element the count is five air, three fire, one earth and one water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and three. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Saturn: a sextile, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.

Pharrell Williams’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Aries

about 15° Aries at midday

An Aries Sun starts things. For Pharrell Williams that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.

All Aries Suns

Moon sign

Taurus

in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time

A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Pharrell, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.

Pharrell Williams’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Pharrell Williams’s private life.

  1. Sun in Aries

    15° Aries 46' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    With the Sun in Aries, Pharrell Williams's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.

  2. Moon in Taurus

    Taurus, all day

    needs and habits

    A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Pharrell more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.

  3. Mercury in Pisces

    18° Pisces 41' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Pharrell is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.

  4. Venus in Aries

    14° Aries 43' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Pharrell that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

  5. Mars in Aquarius

    6° Aquarius 58' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Pharrell 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.

  6. Jupiter in Aquarius

    7° Aquarius 39' at midday

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Pharrell may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.

  7. Saturn in Gemini

    15° Gemini 57' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    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 Pharrell 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.

  8. Uranus in Libra

    21° Libra 15' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Pharrell 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.

  9. Neptune in Sagittarius

    7° Sagittarius 14' at midday ℞

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Pharrell in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

  10. Pluto in Libra

    2° Libra 43' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Pharrell 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 Pharrell Williams’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.

  1. Sun sextile Saturn

    about 0.2° at midday

    Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Pharrell Williams rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.

  2. Mars sextile Neptune

    about 0.3° at midday

    In Pharrell's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.

  3. Jupiter sextile Neptune

    about 0.4° at midday

    Inspired ideas are within Pharrell's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.

  4. Mars conjunction Jupiter

    about 0.7° at midday

    Mars conjunct Jupiter lends Pharrell's drive a bold confidence, and they tend to act on a big goal before doubt has a chance to catch up. Momentum is the gift here; pacing is the skill, so that the energy lasts beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.

  5. Sun conjunction Venus

    about 1.1° at midday

    Who Pharrell is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.

  6. Venus sextile Saturn

    about 1.2° at midday

    This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Pharrell's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Pharrell decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.

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.
