Shawn Mendes’s birth chart
Born 8 August 1998, in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Shawn Mendes’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Shawn Mendes was born on Saturday, 8 August 1998, in Pickering, Ontario, Canada. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Aquarius until about 23:05 and in Pisces afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Shawn turns 28 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three fire, three water, two air and one earth, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, five and two. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Mars: a conjunction, about 2.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Five planets were retrograde: Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from full to waning gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 8 August, among them Roger Federer, Dustin Hoffman and Jostein Gaarder. Wikidata links Shawn with one person in the dataset: Camila Cabello (listed as partners in 2023).

Shawn Mendes’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 15° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Shawn Mendes 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
Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 23:05, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 23:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Shawn is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
Born after about 23:05: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Shawn may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Pickering, Ontario, Canada, at each hour of the day.
Shawn Mendes’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 8 August 1998, computed for Pickering, Ontario, Canada.

Shawn Mendes’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Shawn Mendes’s private life.
Purpose for Shawn Mendes 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.
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 23:05, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 23:05: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Shawn is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
Born after about 23:05: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Shawn more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Mercury in Leo gives Shawn a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Shawn more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Shawn 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 Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Shawn, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Pisces
27° Pisces 18' at midday ℞
growth and excess
For Shawn, 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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Shawn 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.
Uranus in Aquarius
10° Aquarius 32' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Shawn's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.
Neptune in Aquarius
0° Aquarius 21' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Before it belongs to Shawn, Neptune in Aquarius belongs to a generation. Together that generation dreams about technology, community and shared futures. In one life it can become an idealism about groups and causes that real people sometimes fail to live up to.
Pluto in Sagittarius
5° Sagittarius 18' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Sagittarius is an era's placement, shared by Shawn with many people of a similar age. This generation transforms belief, religion and ideas of truth on a large scale. In one life it can be intensity around whatever worldview a person has chosen to hold.
Aspects in Shawn Mendes’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.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 2.1° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Shawn Mendes, 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.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 3.0° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Shawn'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.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 3.1° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Shawn's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Saturn square Neptune
about 3.2° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Shawn that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
Mars trine Jupiter
about 5.2° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Shawn's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
Sun opposition Uranus
about 5.4° at midday
With the Sun opposite Uranus, Shawn's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.
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?
