Spike Jonze’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Spike Jonze was born in Rockville, Maryland, on 22 October 1969, a Wednesday. The Sun was in Libra, so Libra is their zodiac sign. The Moon left Pisces for Aries at about 20:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Spike turns 57 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Spike; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is five air, three earth, one water and no fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is six cardinal, two fixed and one mutable. Five planets stand together in Libra: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Uranus: a conjunction, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 22 October, among them Doris Lessing, Catherine Deneuve and Javier Milei. Wikidata links Spike with one person in the dataset: Sofia Coppola (married in 1999, marriage ended in 2003).

Spike Jonze’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 29° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Spike Jonze's decisions, and this is a placement that can see both sides of almost anything. The growth lies in choosing a side when it counts.
Moon sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 20:15, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 20:15: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Spike 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.
Born after about 20:15: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Spike is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Rockville, Maryland, at each hour of the day.
Spike Jonze’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Spike 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 22 October 1969, computed for Rockville, Maryland.

Spike Jonze’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Spike Jonze’s private life.
With the Sun in Libra, Spike Jonze's vitality is likely to rise in good company, and purpose to feel real when they are creating balance or beauty with other people. The risk is losing their own direction while managing everyone else's. Deciding alone is probably harder for them than deciding with a second opinion in the room.
Moon in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 20:15, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 20:15: 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 Spike more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 20:15: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Spike, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Spike tends to communicate diplomatically, often finding the version of an idea that will land well with whoever is listening. Settling on an opinion can take so long that the moment for it passes. They may change their mind in the middle of a conversation because the other point had merit.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Spike probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Spike may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Spike's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
Jupiter in Libra
19° Libra 10' at midday
growth and excess
In Spike's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Spike 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 Libra
5° Libra 57' at midday
freedom, generational
Spike 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 Scorpio
27° Scorpio 22' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Spike shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
26° Virgo 09' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Spike 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 Spike Jonze’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 Uranus
about 0.3° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Spike Jonze is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from it.
Mars square Jupiter
about 1.5° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Spike may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Mars trine Pluto
about 5.4° at midday
Resilience under pressure, and the ability to come back stronger from a setback, are the marks of this trine between drive and the capacity for change. In Spike's chart the aspect points to a quiet, formidable strength, the kind other people notice mainly in how little it seems to cost.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 5.5° at midday
Spike's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Sun opposition Saturn
about 6.9° at midday
With the Sun opposite Saturn, Spike is likely to find that asserting who they are brings them up against the caution, rules or authority figures that seem to stand in the way. Working through that tension builds a confidence that does not need everyone's approval to hold steady.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 7.3° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Spike's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris.
