Brad Pitt is an American actor and film producer born in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He came to notice in Thelma & Louise in 1991 and followed it with A River Runs Through It in 1992 and Seven in 1995. His role in 12 Monkeys earned an Oscar nomination, and Fight Club arrived in 1999. In 2001 he co-founded Plan B Entertainment and starred in Ocean's Eleven. He starred in Moneyball in 2011, and as a producer he won the Best Picture Oscar for 12 Years a Slave. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood brought him the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, awarded in February 2020, and F1 followed in 2025.
A colleague, then a newspaper notice
The Astro-Databank collector LMR quoted "a trusted colleague from Pitt" for 6:31 a.m., which is why the entry reads A: a remembered time, with no document behind it.
In June 2023 Sy Scholfield found a birth notice that gives 6:21 a.m., "born at ACH," in the Shawnee News-Star of December 19, 1963, page 6. Astro-Databank still lists 6:31 a.m. first. The ten minutes change the ascendant degree and nothing else that matters here: the rising sign, midheaven and Moon sign are the same for both.

Sagittarius Sun and ascendant over a Capricorn Moon
The Sun is at 25°52′ of Sagittarius, in the first house either way, and the ascendant is 11°54′ Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign of the traveller and storyteller, so Sun and ascendant together lead with openness and a taste for distance. The Sun sextiles Saturn, 6°43′ wide, a gentle brake on that fire.
The Moon is at 22°50′ of Capricorn, entered the sign at 9:22 a.m. on December 16 and leaves it at 8:29 p.m. that evening. In the tradition a Capricorn Moon keeps feeling private and measured, shown through work more than display.

Mars between Uranus and Jupiter, each within a quarter degree
Mars, at 10°02′ of Capricorn, trines Uranus, at 10°04′ of Virgo, 0°03′ from exact: the closest pair of all. It also squares Jupiter, at 9°50′ of Aries, 0°12′ from exact.
Mars stands for drive. Its trine to Uranus gives quick, inventive action steadied by earth-sign discipline, and the square to Jupiter a push to take on more than is comfortable. Placidus puts Mars in the first house beside the Sun; Whole Sign files it under the second with the other Capricorn bodies.

Moon and Venus side by side in a Capricorn foursome
The Moon, at 22°50′, and Venus, at 23°28′, are 0°38′ from a conjunction, and Mercury, at 16°07′, and Mars join them. Whole Sign files all four under the second house, which covers possessions and values; Placidus keeps the Moon, Mercury and Venus there.
Astrologers take a Moon-Venus conjunction as feeling and taste moving together; in Capricorn that means a liking for the lasting and well made. Mercury sextiles Neptune, at 16°48′ of Scorpio, 0°41′ from exact, an angle the tradition ties to an imaginative, picture-making mind.

Sagittarius holds the horizon from 5:34 a.m. to 7:53 a.m.
Sagittarius came up over Shawnee at 5:34 a.m., so the birth falls 57 minutes into the window, with 82 still to run. By tradition, Sagittarius rising gives an open, outward first impression.
Jupiter, which rules Sagittarius, is at 9°50′ of Aries, another fire sign. Placidus has it in the fourth house, Whole Sign in the fifth. Astrologers look to the ruler to see what the ascendant leans on.

Virgo overhead, with Uranus and Pluto close by
The midheaven is 26°58′ Virgo, and Virgo gives way 11 minutes after the birth time. The midheaven marks public standing, and Virgo there goes with craft and detail, and a quiet competence.
Uranus, at 10°04′, and Pluto, at 14°14′, are in Virgo as well, 4°10′ apart, ninth house by Placidus and tenth by Whole Sign. The whole generation shares this pairing, so it reads as the era's pressure for change.
