Analysis of Justin Timberlake's astrological chart

It may be obvious today, but right at the start of his career, Justin Timberlake was much more than a member of a boy band. His artistic qualities and his originality are noticeable in his natal chart, particularly owing to features which depend a lot on the accuracy of his birth time. In other words, a person born the same day and at the same location as Timberlake does not necessarily the same dispositions.

What are we referring to? Firstly, to a nice Moon-Neptune conjunction. Although they are distant from one another in the solar system, the Moon and Neptune point to the world of emotions, to imagination, and to instincts. In addition, Neptune gives inspiration whereas the Moon suggests sensitivity and, by extension, the feminine nature (including for males). These planets in Sagittarius in Timberlake's chart certainly helped him quickly achieve worldwide success out of sheer luck, which is confirmed by his biography. Indeed, between the age of 12 and 14, he got a foot on the ladder by joining the Mickey Mouse Club, on Disney Channel, and had the opportunity to try his hand at performing. His voice and his style were immediately appreciated. Furthermore, let us not forget that the Moon-Neptune duet must be interpreted taking into account Mars in Aquarius and in an angle, thus a part of the dominant planets of the chart (and conjunct Mercury already in Pisces, the latter adding a more intuitive and unclear nature to the mind.

The first outcome we get is that two modern and optimistic signs are highlighted, while Mars blends a new kind of virility with a form of intelligence accessible to crowds. Since his first album, which sold some 11 million copies, then Justified and his single Can't Stop the Feeling! released in 2016, and preceding an album in the forthcoming months, Justin Timberlake has clearly impressed the musical world. With the sexy manner he sways his hips and his style, ranging from pop to R&B, the singer has many strings to his bow, as well as an excellent business sense.

Assessing his natal chart, there is another characteristic rapidly noticeable: the singer's flexibility (or mobility), in both the positive and negative senses of the word. With a prevailing Air element, it is not surprising that intellectual matters, communication, and exchanges are extremely important in his life. The trio of slow-moving planets, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto in Libra – a configuration common to all people born that year – offers the advantage, in Timberlake's case, to work in full agreement with his own values, thus reinforcing Aquarius, Sagittarius, and even Leo (the Ascendant). To sum up, the chart is harmonious, for it displays a majority of aspects considered as helpful. As stated in his real life, everything seems to flow smoothly, and success is achieved without too much struggling.

However, getting back to the above-mentioned flexibility or lightness, the few setbacks he experienced are caused by this personality trait precisely. The most striking example is his Super Bowl performance, in February 2004, an event gathering one of the highest audience figures in the United States. While he was doing a duet with Janet Jackson, swaying his hips, he made a blunder. In the choreography, he pulled off Jackson's jacket, showing a naked breast, and provoked a seism throughout prudish America. He was compelled to apologise more than once for this childlike "jacket incident", lest his popularity ratings plummet even more. He learnt from this mishap and chose to stay away from the stage for a while, which actually enabled him to pick himself up successfully in the cinema.

As for romance, it is interesting to note two points. Firstly, his Venus in Capricorn suggests seriousness in love relationships, or interest in a partner more mature or more responsible than him. He has lived with Cameron Diaz, 12 years his senior. Later on, he calmed down while married to Jessica Biel, despite several ups and downs.

Secondly, a powerful Venus supports his career (trine his Midheaven), which shows that women helped his social and professional growth. In addition to Britney Spears, his first girlfriend, Christina Aguilera and the ladies we just mentioned, and even Beyoncé, all female stars were eager to work with this handsome fellow. And by doing so, they contributed to his successes more often than not.

Having said this, his career reflects also his personal will to reach out. Mars on the Descendant indicates eventful partnerships which may nonetheless be prone to whims or temper tantrums. But does all this really matter? With almost all the planets gathered in the Northern hemisphere, Justin Timberlake is a real creator who is more interested in being genuine than in showing off, despite an Ascendant urging him to assert himself of course.
