Justin Timberlake Birth Chart

A 1998 Teen Beat feature, quoted in Astro-Databank, filed his birth under "First-Ever Experience Being Punctual: 6:30 pm on January 31, 1981." In the chart for that minute in Memphis, Mars at 25°19′ of Aquarius stands 0°21′ short of the descendant, directly across from the Leo ascendant at 25°39′ Leo.

The Sun is at 12°04′ of Aquarius and the Moon at 24°42′ of Sagittarius. The time carries Astro-Databank's AA rating.

An Aquarius Sun with a Sagittarius Moon joins air and fire, two signs the tradition counts as friends: one supplies detachment and ideas, the other appetite and reach. Leo rising sets a warm, conspicuous front over that pair, and the Sun that rules Leo sits across the chart in Aquarius, so the face shown and the mind behind it pull from opposite sides.

A certificate, and a minute nobody could verify

Astro-Databank's Source Notes give "B.C. in hand from Frank Clifford and PT." That earns the AA rating, and the entry uses 6:30 p.m.

An older note gave 6:31 p.m. from Storm Cestavani and was marked "data not verified." The extra minute leaves Leo rising in place, and the Teen Beat line also says 6:30 pm.

Mars 0°21′ short of the western horizon

Mars at 25°19′ of Aquarius is about to set, 0°21′ before the point opposite the ascendant. It is a 6th-house planet under Placidus and a 7th-house planet under Whole Sign, as is the Sun at 12°04′, which shares the sign.

Mars at the descendant points to drive that shows up through other people, in partnerships and rivalries. It trines Pluto within 0°58′ and sextiles Neptune within 1°15′, tying it to the Libra and Sagittarius planets.

Leo on the horizon, its ruler across the chart

Leo held the Memphis horizon from 4:25 p.m. to 6:51 p.m., and his birth came 125 minutes into that stretch, with 21 left before Virgo.

Leo rising gives a visible, generous way of entering a room, and the Sun, which rules it, stands in Aquarius on the opposite side of the chart. A ruler placed that way suggests the performer looking back from across the stage.

A Sagittarius Moon, 48.3 hours in, beside Neptune

The Moon entered Sagittarius at 6:12 p.m. on January 29 and leaves 10.1 hours after his birth. At 24°42′ it sits 0°38′ from Neptune at 24°04′, in the 4th house by Placidus, the 5th by Whole Sign.

A Sagittarius Moon suggests feeling that wants room and a horizon, and Neptune beside it adds a taste for the large and half-imagined. The 5th house covers performance and play. The Moon also sextiles Pluto within 0°21′ and Mars within 0°37′.

Jupiter and Saturn joined in Libra, with Pluto behind them

Retrograde Jupiter at 10°18′ and retrograde Saturn at 9°37′ of Libra are 0°41′ apart, and retrograde Pluto at 24°20′ of Libra follows in the 3rd house. Jupiter and Saturn sit in the 2nd house under Placidus, the 3rd under Whole Sign. The Sun trines both, 1°45′ from Jupiter and 2°26′ from Saturn.

Jupiter with Saturn pairs expansion with restraint, and the 3rd house suits an airy sign. With the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto all in air, half of the ten bodies share one element.

Mercury and Uranus at opposite ends of their signs

Mercury at 0°20′ of Pisces has only just entered its sign, while Uranus at 29°39′ of Scorpio is on its last degree. They square each other within 0°41′, and Mercury is a 7th-house planet in Placidus and an 8th-house one in Whole Sign.

A first-degree Mercury suggests thought still taking shape, and a last-degree Uranus a sudden turn about to finish. The midheaven is 21°01′ Taurus, held by Taurus from 5:08 p.m. to 7:06 p.m., a steady, sensory sign at the top.
