Planetary Positions

Calculated with Swiss Ephemeris for February 22, 1974 in Tidworth, United Kingdom. The birth time is not on public record, so each position covers the whole birth day and no Rising sign, houses or Midheaven are shown.

Birth Data and Sources

James Blunt was born on February 22, 1974, in Tidworth, United Kingdom. According to Wikipedia, Blunt is an English singer, songwriter and musician known for songs including "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover." The corresponding Wikidata record provides a structured reference for the biographical subject and birth information.

Our Swiss Ephemeris calculation for the date and place gives the planetary signs below, but no birth time is available. Because the record is untimed, Astro-Databank classifies it as Rodden Rating X, meaning the birth time has not been established. Readers can learn more about birth-chart data and source ratings at Astro.com.

A date-only chart can therefore say considerably more than just a Sun sign, but it cannot reproduce every part of a timed natal chart. In particular, the Ascendant, Midheaven and house placements depend on the time of birth. For a general explanation, see our guide to birth charts without a birth time.

James Blunt's Sun Sign: Pisces

James Blunt has the Sun in Pisces. The Sun moves through Pisces on February 22, 1974, at approximately 3°–4° during the day, so the sign itself is not dependent on knowing the exact birth hour.

In traditional astrology, Pisces is a mutable water sign associated with sensitivity, imagination, receptivity and a tendency to engage with experience through intuition as well as straightforward analysis. Astrologers often interpret the Sun as representing core identity, vitality and the way a person develops a sense of self. In that framework, the Sun in Pisces is traditionally linked with a reflective, imaginative and emotionally perceptive style.

These are symbolic astrological associations rather than scientifically established descriptions of personality. A birth chart can be used as a framework for reflection, but it should not be treated as a scientific explanation of why a person behaves in a particular way or achieves particular outcomes.

Blunt's chart also places Mercury in Pisces, creating a Sun–Mercury conjunction in the aspect list used for this calculation. Astrologers traditionally read a close relationship between the Sun and Mercury as bringing identity and communication themes into close contact. Here, that interpretation is specifically grounded in the chart's Sun in Pisces and Mercury in Pisces rather than in any assumption about Blunt's biography.

For readers who want to explore the three commonly discussed personal points in astrology, our guide to Sun, Moon and Rising signs explains why the Rising sign cannot be established from a date alone.

The Moon: Pisces

The Moon is also in Pisces throughout the stated range for February 22, 1974, moving from approximately 0.4° to 12.7° during the day. Unlike cases in which the Moon crosses a sign boundary during the date, this calculation keeps the Moon in Pisces, so the Moon sign does not require a choice between two possible signs here.

Astrologers often associate the Moon with emotional responses, instinctive habits and the way a person processes experiences internally. Traditionally, the Moon in Pisces is linked with sensitivity, imagination and a receptive emotional style. Because astrology is not scientifically established, these interpretations are best understood as symbolic themes rather than objective psychological measurements.

The combination of the Sun in Pisces and Moon in Pisces gives this date-only chart a strong concentration in one sign. That does not establish a particular personality type, but within traditional astrology it would make Pisces symbolism especially prominent in interpretations of the Sun and Moon.

Mercury, Venus and Mars

Mercury is in Pisces and retrograde in this chart, moving from approximately 8.8° to 7.8° during the day. Astrologers traditionally associate Mercury with communication, thinking and information processing. Mercury in Pisces is often interpreted through themes of imagination, intuition and associative thinking, while retrograde Mercury is traditionally given additional interpretive emphasis around reflection and reconsideration.

Venus is in Capricorn, at approximately 27.2°–27.6°. In traditional astrology, Venus is associated with affection, aesthetics, values and interpersonal style. Venus in Capricorn is often linked with restraint, practicality and an appreciation for structure or long-term value. Those associations describe an astrological tradition, not a factual assessment of Blunt's relationships or personal choices.

Mars is in Taurus, at approximately 27°–27.6°. Astrologers commonly associate Mars with drive, action and the way energy is directed. Mars in Taurus is traditionally linked with persistence, steadiness and a preference for sustained effort rather than rapid changes of direction.

The chart also lists a Venus trine Mars with a 0.1° orb. Traditionally, a trine is viewed as a harmonious aspect, so astrologers may interpret this combination as an easier symbolic connection between Venus themes and Mars themes. The chart also has Venus square Uranus with a 0.2° orb, which traditional interpretations associate with tension between Venus-related themes and Uranian themes of independence, change or unpredictability.

Jupiter, Saturn and the Outer Planets

Jupiter is in Aquarius at approximately 26.6°–26.8°. Saturn is in Gemini at approximately 27.8° and retrograde. Uranus is in Libra, Neptune is in Sagittarius and Pluto is in Libra. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are generational planets because they move slowly enough that many people born across a broad period share their signs.

Astrologers traditionally associate Jupiter with expansion, learning and broad outlooks, while Saturn is linked with structure, responsibility and limits. Jupiter in Aquarius is often interpreted through themes of ideas, communities and intellectual independence. Saturn in Gemini is traditionally associated with disciplined thinking, communication and learning.

The chart's outer-planet placements should be interpreted in their generational context. Uranus in Libra, Neptune in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra are not unique personal signatures by themselves because these planets remain in a sign for relatively long periods.

Several listed aspects connect these planets. Saturn trine Uranus has a 0.2° orb, Jupiter trine Uranus has a 0.9° orb, and Jupiter trine Saturn has a 1.1° orb. Mars square Jupiter has a 0.6° orb, while Mercury square Neptune has a 1.2° orb. Astrologers often interpret these configurations as symbolic relationships among expansion, structure, innovation, action, communication and imagination, but the meanings remain interpretive rather than scientifically demonstrated.

Key Aspects in James Blunt's Chart

The major aspects listed for the local-noon calculation are:

The Moon is excluded from this aspect list, as specified by the calculation method. The aspects therefore describe relationships among the other listed planets at local noon rather than claiming an exact timed natal chart.

The tightest listed aspect is Venus trine Mars at 0.1°. In traditional astrology, a close trine is often considered a comparatively flowing relationship between the two planets. Venus square Uranus at 0.2° is similarly close, but a square is traditionally interpreted as a more challenging or dynamic relationship. These labels describe conventional astrological symbolism, not measured psychological effects.

Element and Modality Balance

Among the planets with a certain sign, the element counts are Fire 1, Earth 2, Air 4 and Water 3. The modality counts are Cardinal 3, Fixed 2 and Mutable 5. Planets whose sign changes during the day are excluded from these counts.

Air is the most represented element, with four planets, followed by Water with three, Earth with two and Fire with one. In traditional astrology, Air is associated with ideas, communication and intellectual exchange, while Water is associated with emotion, intuition and sensitivity.

Mutable is the most represented modality, with five planets. Cardinal has three planets and Fixed has two. Mutable signs are traditionally associated with adaptation, flexibility and transition. Again, these categories are symbolic tools used by astrologers rather than scientifically validated personality measurements.

What We Can't Know Without a Birth Time

The biggest limitation of James Blunt's chart is straightforward: the birth time is unknown. That means the Rising sign cannot be established, and neither can the houses or Midheaven. The house system divides the chart according to the horizon and local sky at a specific moment, so an exact birth time is essential.

The Rising sign, also called the Ascendant, is particularly time-sensitive because it changes relatively quickly. It is therefore not appropriate to assign a Rising sign from the date and birthplace alone. The same limitation applies to statements such as a planet being in a particular house.

This does not make the chart unusable. The Sun remains in Pisces, the Moon remains in Pisces across the calculated daytime range, and the planetary sign placements listed above remain available from the date-only calculation. The key is to distinguish what can be established from what genuinely depends on a birth time.

Compare Your Chart with James Blunt

Comparing charts can be a useful way to explore how different astrological placements are interpreted together. James Blunt's date-only chart provides several stable reference points, including the Sun in Pisces, Moon in Pisces, Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Taurus. A complete comparison for another person is most informative when that person's exact birth time is known, because houses and the Rising sign can then be calculated.

For a dedicated comparison, our synastry chart tool can place two charts together and show the astrological relationships between them. As with all astrological interpretation, the results are best treated as a reflective framework rather than a scientifically established explanation of compatibility, personality or life outcomes.

James Blunt's chart is therefore most accurately described as a birth-time-unknown chart with a Pisces Sun and Pisces Moon, several stable planetary sign placements and a defined set of major aspects. What cannot be responsibly supplied is equally important: no Rising sign, Midheaven or house placement can be determined without the missing birth time.
