Brad Pitt has the Sun in Sagittarius in the 1st house, Sagittarius rising, and the Moon and Venus together in Capricorn: an easy, open charm, with a much more serious builder underneath.

He was born William Bradley Pitt at 6:31 in the morning on 18 December 1963 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Astro-Databank rates the time A, from memory, which is reliable but not from a birth record. He grew up in Springfield, Missouri, studied journalism at the University of Missouri, and left just before graduating to drive to Los Angeles and try acting.

Sagittarius rising, with the Sun in the 1st house

Sagittarius rising is warm, relaxed and adventurous, the first impression of someone who looks as if they have just come back from somewhere interesting. With his Sun in Sagittarius in the 1st house too, the face and the self are the same thing: what you see is a large part of who he is. His breakthrough was a short role as a charming drifter in Thelma & Louise (1991), and the easy, sunlit quality of that part has followed him since.

Moon and Venus in Capricorn in the 2nd house

The Moon, the private self, sits within a degree of Venus in Capricorn, with Mercury close by, all in the 2nd house of resources and values. Capricorn is patient, practical and ambitious. It describes the side of him that builds. In 2001 he co-founded the production company Plan B, which went on to make The Departed (2006), 12 Years a Slave (2013) and Moonlight (2016); 12 Years a Slave brought him an Oscar as a producer before he ever won one for acting.

Mars trine Uranus, square Jupiter

Mars, the drive, sits in Capricorn in the 1st house. It makes an exact trine to Uranus, the planet of speed and the unexpected, and an almost exact square to Jupiter, the planet of scale. It is a high-energy, physical pattern, and he has spent much of his career in roles that need it, from Fight Club (1999) to the racing film F1 (2025).

A Virgo Midheaven

The Midheaven, the public role, is in Virgo, the sign of craft and careful work, with Uranus and Pluto in Virgo in the 9th house. Away from the screen he has long worked with his hands, in sculpture and furniture design. In 2022 he showed sculpture for the first time, at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. On screen, his Oscar for best supporting actor came for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).
