Angelina Jolie has the Sun in Gemini, the Moon in Aries and Cancer rising, with Jupiter sitting almost exactly on the top of her chart: a very public life, a fierce private one, and a long pull towards the far side of the world.

She was born at 9:09 in the morning on 4 June 1975 in Los Angeles, the daughter of the actors Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. Astro-Databank rates the time AA, from a quoted birth record. After television films in the late 1990s, she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted (1999), and became one of the best-known film stars in the world.

Three planets in Aries in the 9th house

Her Moon, Mars and Jupiter are all in Aries, the sign of courage and first moves, and all in the 9th house, the part of the chart for distant countries, causes and beliefs. The Moon and Mars are close together, a combination that feels things quickly and acts on them. It is a striking match for the second life she built alongside acting. She contacted the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, after filming abroad, became one of its Goodwill Ambassadors in 2001 and later its Special Envoy, and has spent much of the past two decades visiting camps and crisis zones far from Hollywood.

Jupiter on the Midheaven

The Midheaven is the highest point of the chart, the public role. Jupiter, the planet of growth and good fortune, sits on it within half a degree. Few charts point so clearly at a large public life. Jupiter here makes an exact square to Saturn in her 12th house, the most hidden part of the chart: the scale of the fame on one side, and a guarded, disciplined private life on the other. She has directed several films about war and survival, among them Unbroken (2014) and First They Killed My Father (2017), work that sits between the two.

Cancer rising, with Venus beside it

Cancer rising is protective, family-minded and careful about who gets close. Her Venus, the planet of beauty and love, sits in Cancer right beside the Ascendant, in the 12th house: a face the world has looked at for thirty years, and a person who keeps a great deal to herself. Family is at the centre of her life. She has six children with Brad Pitt, three of them adopted; the couple separated in 2016.

Sun in Gemini in the 11th house

The Gemini Sun is quick, curious and good with words, and in the 11th house it looks outward, to groups, networks and the future. It shows in the range of her work: actor, director, writer, producer. She also produced the stage musical The Outsiders, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2024.
