Jennifer Aniston has the Sun in Aquarius, the sign of friendship, the Moon in Sagittarius and Libra rising: warm, funny and easy to like, with an independent streak that runs deep.

She was born at 10:22 in the evening on 11 February 1969 in Los Angeles. Astro-Databank rates the time AA, from the birth record. Her father, John Aniston, was an actor, and she studied drama at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York before years of auditions and short-lived television roles.

Sun in Aquarius: the sign of friends

Aquarius is the sign of friendship, groups and equals, and it is hard to miss that her best-known role came in a show called Friends (1994 to 2004). As Rachel Green she was one of six equal leads, and she won the Emmy for best actress in a comedy in 2002. Her Sun sits in the 4th house, the house of home and private life, and Aquarius there wants a home life on its own terms.

Sun sextile Moon, exact

The Sun and Moon make an exact sextile, within a tenth of a degree. Astrologers read this as an easy fit between what a person wants and what they need, and it often shows as a natural warmth and good humour on screen. Her Moon is in Sagittarius, the sign of optimism and laughter, which suits a career built so largely on comedy.

Libra rising, with Jupiter and Uranus in the 12th house

Libra rising is graceful, approachable and attractive, with an instinct for balance and style. Her haircut in the early seasons of Friends, "the Rachel", became one of the most copied of the 1990s. Jupiter and Uranus, together in Libra in the 12th house, add a private, independent side that she has protected carefully through decades of attention.

Sun square Mars

Her Sun makes a close square to Mars in Scorpio in the 2nd house of resources. It is an aspect of drive and determination, and a willingness to fight for what she values. She co-founded the production company Echo Films in 2008, and in 2019 she returned to television as star and executive producer of The Morning Show, which won her a Screen Actors Guild Award.

A Cancer Midheaven

The Midheaven, the public role, is in Cancer, the sign of home and family. For many viewers she has felt like one of the family for thirty years, and her homes have been featured in Architectural Digest.
