Usher’s birth chart
Born 14 October 1978, in Dallas, Texas. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Libra Sun · Moon in Pisces or Aries
Usher’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Usher was born in Dallas, Texas, on 14 October 1978, a Saturday. Their zodiac sign is Libra. The Moon was in Pisces until about 10:05 and in Aries afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Usher turns 48 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 eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in water signs, two in fire, two in air and one in earth. By modality the count is four fixed, two cardinal and two mutable. Scorpio holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Mars and Uranus. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 0.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 14 October, among them Roger Moore, George Floyd and Ahmed Musa.
Usher’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Libra
about 20° Libra at midday
A Libra Sun balances. Fairness, beauty and the quality of relationships tend to shape Usher'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 10:05, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:05: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Usher 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 10:05: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Usher 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 Dallas, Texas, at each hour of the day.
Usher’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Usher 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 14 October 1978, computed for Dallas, Texas.

Usher’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Usher’s private life.
Sun in Libra
20° Libra 59' at midday
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Libra, Usher'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 10:05, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 10:05: 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 Usher 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 10:05: 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 Usher, 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 or Scorpio
Libra until about 00:30, then Scorpio
mind and voice
Born before about 00:30: Mercury in Libra
Mercury in Libra thinks by weighing both sides, and Usher 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.
Born after about 00:30: Mercury in Scorpio
With Mercury in Scorpio, Usher tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Venus in Scorpio
22° Scorpio 34' at midday
love and values
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Usher 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 Scorpio
17° Scorpio 00' at midday
drive and anger
In Usher's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Leo
6° Leo 19' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Usher the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Saturn in Virgo
9° Virgo 44' at midday
discipline and doubt
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Usher may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
15° Scorpio 08' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Usher's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
16° Sagittarius 08' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Usher in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
16° Libra 46' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Usher 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 Usher’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.
Mars conjunction Uranus
about 1.9° at midday
Mars conjunct Uranus makes for a sudden, independent drive, and Usher probably acts fastest at the exact moment someone says it cannot be done. Courage and originality come with the aspect, and so does the need to check an impulsive decision against longer-term goals before committing to it.
Sun conjunction Pluto
about 4.2° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Pluto, Usher's identity is likely to be intense and transformative, with feelings that run at full volume rather than in moderation. Depth and staying power are the reward, and the thing to outgrow is needing a situation to become a crisis before it feels meaningful.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 4.8° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Usher 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.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 5.6° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Usher can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Venus conjunction Mars
about 5.6° at midday
With Venus conjunct Mars, affection and drive are closely linked, so, for Usher, 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.
Saturn square Neptune
about 6.4° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Usher 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.
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.
