Taraji P. Henson’s birth chart
Born 11 September 1970, in Washington, D.C. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Taraji P. Henson’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
11 September 1970 was a Friday: the day Taraji P. Henson was born in Washington, D.C. That makes them a Virgo. The Moon changed sign at about 19:35, from Capricorn to Aquarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. They turn 56 in 2026. 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, five are in earth signs, three in water and one in air; none is in fire. By modality the count is four fixed, four mutable and one cardinal. Four planets stand together in Virgo: Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto. Venus, Jupiter and Neptune all fall in Scorpio. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Venus and Jupiter, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Mercury and Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 11 September, among them Sung Jae-gi, Franz Beckenbauer and Arvo Pärt. Fanny Cadeo was born on the very same day.

Taraji P. Henson’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 18° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Taraji P. Henson is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Capricorn or Aquarius
Capricorn until about 19:35, then Aquarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 19:35: Moon in Capricorn
A Capricorn Moon feels responsibly. With it, Taraji P. Henson may hold themselves together for other people, and can be hard on themselves when they cannot. This Moon tends to be restored by accomplishment, by structure, and by the rare person allowed to see them tired.
Born after about 19:35: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Taraji P. Henson 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.
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 Washington, D.C., at each hour of the day.
Taraji P. Henson’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 11 September 1970, computed for Washington, D.C..

Taraji P. Henson’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Taraji P. Henson’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Taraji P. Henson's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.

Capricorn until about 19:35, then Aquarius
needs and habits
Born before about 19:35: Moon in Capricorn
With the Moon in Capricorn, Taraji P. Henson's comfort probably comes from accomplishing something concrete each day, and an unproductive day can leave them oddly unsettled even on holiday. Harder feelings tend to be kept for when they are alone. Before rest is allowed there is usually one more thing to tidy, organise or finish.
Born after about 19:35: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Taraji P. Henson 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.
For Taraji P. Henson, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Taraji P. Henson is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Taraji P. Henson is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Scorpio
4° Scorpio 19' 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 Taraji P. Henson, 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.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Taraji P. Henson 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
7° Libra 52' at midday
freedom, generational
Taraji P. Henson 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
28° Scorpio 24' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Taraji P. Henson 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 53' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Taraji P. Henson 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 Taraji P. Henson’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 Jupiter
about 0.2° at midday
Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Taraji P. Henson's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.
Mars sextile Jupiter
about 1.0° at midday
There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Taraji P. Henson's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Taraji P. Henson, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.
Venus sextile Mars
about 1.2° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let Taraji P. Henson go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 1.9° at midday
Taraji P. Henson's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 2.2° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Taraji P. Henson's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Sun trine Saturn
about 4.1° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Taraji P. Henson's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
