The A rating means the birth time is treated as accurate, so the rising sign, the Midheaven and the houses below can be read with confidence. Open Brad Pitt's chart on Astrolas to follow along.
Two blocks of the chart pull in different directions. The Sun and the rising sign both sit in lSagittarius, in the 1st house of identity. Four planets, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, sit in vCapricorn, and three of them land in the 2nd house, the part of the chart the Astrolas library ties to money, possessions and a sense of security. One half of the chart wants open road and no restrictions. The other half wants a plan, a budget and a result.
That tension maps onto a familiar public arc: an actor who built a reputation as an easygoing leading man, then spent two decades building Plan B Entertainment, a production company that has backed two Best Picture winners, 12 Years a Slave in 2013 and Moonlight in 2016.
Four planets in Capricorn, three of them in the 2nd house
Moon at 22ยฐ50', Mercury at 16ยฐ07' and Venus at 23ยฐ28' all sit in Capricorn in the 2nd house. Mars, also Capricorn at 10ยฐ02', falls just across the line in the 1st house.
The Astrolas library reads Moon in Capricorn as emotion held in check, with reassurance coming from a clear role and steady responsibility rather than open displays of feeling. In the 2nd house, that same Moon ties self-worth directly to financial footing: accumulating, protecting what has been built, and feeling uneasy when money feels loose. Mercury in Capricorn thinks in steps and plans for the long run, and in the 2nd house that mind turns toward income and careful budgeting. Venus in Capricorn loves cautiously and proves loyalty through reliability rather than big gestures, and in the 2nd house it reads as a liking for beautiful, well-made things earned through patient work rather than impulse.
Three planets describing the same thing, caution, patience, a close watch on resources, inside the house of money. Plan B Entertainment, which Pitt founded in 2001, runs on exactly that model: years of development work behind films that go on to win the top prizes.
Sun and rising sign together in Sagittarius
The Sun sits at 25ยฐ52' Sagittarius, and the Ascendant sits at 11ยฐ54' Sagittarius, both in the 1st house. The library reads this Sun as an open, optimistic nature that needs room to explore and learn, uncomfortable with being boxed in and most alive when chasing a wide horizon. In the 1st house, that same energy becomes outward-facing confidence: initiative, warmth and a pull toward leadership that draws people in.
The public version of this is well documented. Pitt broke through playing a drifter in Thelma & Louise in 1991, then built a career out of roles that move between genres and settings. Seven Years in Tibet in 1997 and Babel in 2006, shot across Morocco, Mexico and Japan, both put him on unfamiliar ground far from home. The library has no entry yet for the Ascendant itself, so this piece stays with the Sun's reading rather than building one on the rising sign alone.
Moon conjunct Venus: comfort, loyalty and an artistic payoff
The tightest named aspect in the chart sits inside the Capricorn group. The Moon and Venus are conjunct with an orb of 0ยฐ38'.
The library reads this pairing as a liking for comfort and connection, someone perceptive, attractive and easy to love, whose mood runs close to the state of their closest relationship. It also names a strong chance of real artistic or musical talent, alongside a tendency to lean on loved ones for emotional steadiness.
Pitt has been married twice, to Jennifer Aniston from 2000 to 2005 and to Angelina Jolie from 2014 to 2019, each marriage widely covered in public life. The artistic side of the aspect shows up just as much in the work that followed those years as in the roles themselves: a producing career that picked up weight through the 2000s and 2010s, built in partnership with directors and writers rather than alone.
Mars in Capricorn, house 1: the tightest wiring in the chart
Mars sits at 10ยฐ02' Capricorn in the 1st house. The library's Mars in Capricorn holds its energy in reserve and spends it with discipline, building endurance rather than flaring up, and channels ambition into status and financial security through steady, practical effort. In the 1st house, that same Mars moves carefully, weighing each step before acting, and shows far more staying power than its quiet start suggests.
Two of the tightest aspects in the entire chart run through this Mars: a trine to IUranus at an orb of just 0ยฐ02', and a square to Jupiter at 0ยฐ11'. The Astrolas library has no text for either pairing yet, so this piece treats them only as chart facts, not as a reading, two very exact contacts sitting right at the chart's most active point.
Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo, house 9: a line drawn under one generation
Uranus and PPluto sit together in Virgo, in the 9th house, with an orb of 4ยฐ10'. Both planets by sign are generational: everyone born in this multi-year window carries Uranus and Pluto in Virgo, so the sign itself describes a cohort, not an individual.
The conjunction itself is rarer, last exact roughly a century before Pitt's birth and precise again only in the mid-1960s. The library calls it the signature of a "child of the 60s," carrying an independent, rebellious streak tied to the upheavals of that decade, with the biggest turning points typically landing in midlife, between forty and fifty-five. Pitt was born in December 1963, close to the front edge of that window rather than its exact center.
The 9th house turns the pair toward belief, higher learning and distant places. Seven Years in Tibet, Babel and Pitt's run of international film sets fit that house's reach beyond home ground. Plan B's choices, 12 Years a Slave built on a true 19th-century account of slavery, and Moonlight, a story the mainstream industry had not told that way before, both land closer to the house's pull toward re-examining settled truth than to comfortable, familiar ground.
Neptune in Scorpio, house 11: ideals turned into causes
Neptune sits at 16ยฐ48' Scorpio in the 11th house. By sign, Neptune in Scorpio is also generational, shared by everyone born across roughly the same stretch of years, so the personal story runs through the house.
The library ties an 11th-house Neptune to idealizing friends and causes, finding real fulfillment in charitable or humanitarian groups, and inspiring others more through presence than through loud action. The caution it adds is disappointment when the people or causes involved do not match the picture built up in the imagination.
After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, Pitt founded the Make It Right Foundation in 2007 to build homes in the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the city's hardest-hit neighborhoods. It is a close match for the house's description: an ideal turned into an organization built to house people.
Jupiter in Aries, house 4, and Saturn in Aquarius, house 2: home and money, read two ways
Jupiter sits at 9ยฐ50' Aries in the 4th house. The library reads this Jupiter as valuing family warmth, carrying an early moral foundation forward through life, and wanting a spacious, comfortable home, sometimes stretching finances to get it.
Saturn sits at 19ยฐ09' Aquarius in the 2nd house, adding a more cautious note right next to that wish. The library's Saturn here can run toward financial worry or toward a frugal, simple approach to money, with the lesson being to trust steady accumulation over fear of scarcity.
Together they describe wanting a big, warm home base while staying careful with the resources that build it, consistent with a long film and producing career that has stayed financially steady rather than erratic across four decades.
What the chart adds up to
The chart doesn't explain talent or box office. What it shows is a split that keeps showing up in the public record: a Sagittarius Sun and rising sign that want open space, sitting across the chart from a cluster of Capricorn planets that want a plan, a budget, and proof of the work behind the result.
