Robert Johnson’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Robert Johnson was born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, on 8 May 1911, a Monday. Their zodiac sign was Taurus. The Moon changed sign at about 19:25, from Virgo to Libra; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Robert died on 16 August 1938, aged 27. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.

Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in earth signs, three in water and two in air; none is in fire. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, four and three. Taurus holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Saturn. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Mars and Saturn, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.

StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 8 May, among them Enrique Iglesias, David Attenborough and John Michael Talbot.

Robert Johnson’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Taurus

about 17° Taurus at midday

A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Robert Johnson 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.

All Taurus Suns

Moon sign

Virgo or Libra

Virgo until about 19:25, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 19:25: Moon in Virgo

A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Robert is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.

Born after about 19:25: Moon in Libra

A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Robert, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.

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 Hazlehurst, Mississippi, at each hour of the day.

Robert Johnson’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Robert 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 8 May 1911, computed for Hazlehurst, Mississippi.

Robert Johnson’s planets, sign by sign

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

  1. Sun in Taurus

    17° Taurus 00' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Robert Johnson'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.

  2. Moon in Virgo or Libra

    Virgo until about 19:25, then Libra

    needs and habits

    Born before about 19:25: Moon in Virgo

    The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Robert's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Robert's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.

    Born after about 19:25: Moon in Libra

    A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Robert's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.

  3. Mercury in Taurus

    12° Taurus 14' at midday ℞

    mind and voice

    With Mercury in Taurus, Robert is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.

  4. Venus in Gemini

    24° Gemini 46' at midday

    love and values

    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. Robert 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.

  5. Mars in Pisces

    11° Pisces 27' at midday

    drive and anger

    With Mars in Pisces, Robert 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.

  6. Jupiter in Scorpio

    8° Scorpio 43' at midday ℞

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Robert, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.

  7. Saturn in Taurus

    10° Taurus 42' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Robert is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    29° Capricorn 20' at midday ℞

    freedom, generational

    Many people within a few years of Robert's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.

  9. Neptune in Cancer

    19° Cancer 10' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Cancer is shared by Robert and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

  10. Pluto in Gemini

    26° Gemini 29' at midday

    power, generational

    Robert shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects in Robert Johnson’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. Mars sextile Saturn

    about 0.8° at midday

    Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Robert Johnson has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.

  2. Mercury sextile Mars

    about 0.8° at midday

    Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Robert, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.

  3. Mercury conjunction Saturn

    about 1.5° at midday

    With Mercury conjunct Saturn, Robert's thinking is likely to be careful and structured, and they tend to say only what they are sure of. That makes their word worth taking, and the risk is that caution keeps an idea back until it feels perfectly finished.

  4. Venus conjunction Pluto

    about 1.7° at midday

    Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Robert is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.

  5. Jupiter opposition Saturn

    about 2.0° at midday

    Robert is likely to feel two instincts at once: to expand into new opportunities, and to consolidate what is already in hand. Neither is wrong, and with Jupiter opposite Saturn a deliberate alternation between them tends to work better than treating it as a permanent choice.

  6. Sun sextile Neptune

    about 2.2° at midday

    Creativity and empathy are there when Robert makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
