PinWhen Is Drew Barrymore’s Birthday?
Drew Barrymore’s birthday is February 22.
Drew Barrymore’s Sun Sign Is In Dreamy Pisces
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Drew Barrymore was born on February 22, 1975, in Culver City, California. Drew Barrymore’s astrological sign is Pisces.
Pisces is a water sign known for its creativity, spirituality and imagination. Symbolized by two fishes swimming in opposite directions, sensitive Pisces reflects the persistent inner conflict between fantasy and reality. On the one hand, Pisces love to surf the wave of their dreams. On the other hand, Pisces might find themselves overwhelmed by the harsh realities of the world, resorting to drastic measures of escapism as survival.
Drew Barrymore’s Pisces Sun happens to be located in the most public facing part of the chart, right by her MidHeaven in her tenth house of legacy and public status. With such a visible tenth house placement, it’s no surprise that Drew was working in Hollywood from a young age—her first commercial as a baby and her breakout movie role as a 7-year-old in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial!
Drew was born into a British-American acting dynasty, Pisces and fame tend to go hand in hand, but so do Pisces and substances (spirits and spirit is a notable Pisces signature, echoing the dark side of fame).
Drew Barrymore’s Chart Has a Pisces Stellium
•A stellium is when three or more planets are in the same zodiac sign or house in a birth chart•
In addition to her Pisces Sun, Drew Barrymore also has Venus (artistry and style) and Jupiter (confidence and opportunity) in the sensitive sign as well. Drew is so Pisces we could cry—and so could she: she famously went viral for discovering a hidden window during a kitchen renovation.
…And she went viral for crying while watching one of her most beloved movies, The Wedding Singer, in which she starred with friend, Adam Sandler.
Drew Barrymore’s Venus and Jupiter in Pisces are particularly empowered as Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces while Venus finds herself particularly comfortable in the compassionate sign. With movies like The Wedding Singer, Never Been Kissed, Music & Lyrics, Ever After and 50 First Dates on her lengthy and diverse resumé, Drew has solidified her reputation as one of the all-time romcom leading lady greats (in addition to her notable drama chops, such as her Golden Globe Award winning role in Grey Gardens and her popular Netflix horror comedy series, Santa Clarita Diet!)
With so much Pisces in Drew Barrymore’s natal chart, however, she might find herself caught in between the movies and real life.
Drew Barrymore’s Moon Is In Maternal Cancer
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
As a Cancer moon, Drew Barrymore’s family relationships take center stage.
Cancer is associated with family while the moon is the natural ruler of Cancer and can symbolize the mother/mothering (she is the mother of two daughters).
Cancer moons are naturally sensitive souls who long for a place of safety and nurturing. With her Cancer moon located in the second house of resources and confidence, Drew Barrymore can certainly draw upon her emotional reserves to help her career.
Drew’s Cancer moon happens to be situated right by her natal Saturn, the planet of limitations and frustrations. Drew’s Saturn on her Cancer moon invokes the idea of emotional undernourishment as a child. She’s certainly had to learn some tough lessons around drawing appropriate boundaries—a necessary and tough lesson given her sensitive Cancer moon, as well as the rest of her watery Pisces energy.
Drew had to learn how to mother herself, to become her own emotional authority. She ultimately separated from her parents with a legal emancipation at just 14.
Drew Barrymore’s Rising Sign Is Social Gemini
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Drew Barrymore is a Gemini Rising. Naturally flirty and charming, Gemini risings thrive in social situations as they jump from one conversation to the next; their mutability and ability to switch things up is second to none. They’re known for their curiosity, intellect and variety of interests (they are air signs, after all!)
It’s no surprise that Drew would be the host of her own Emmy Award-nominated daytime talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, described as “daytime’s brightest destination for intelligent optimism and maximum fun” (how very Gemini-coded), and also some tears, because, Pisces (see TikTok clip below).
She also has a quarterly print magazine called Drew Magazine, a New York Times best-selling autobiography, as well as cosmetics line, Flower Beauty, and of course, her film production company, Flower Films—truly embodying the multifacetedness of a Gemini rising!

Drew Barrymore’s Chart Ruler Is Trickster Mercury
•Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign•
As a Gemini Rising, Drew Barrymore’s birth chart is ruled by her Mercury in Aquarius. Think of chart rulers like your personal avatar in the movie of your life. With Mercury at the helm of Drew’s chart, her identity is flavored by the mercurial planet’s curiosity.
Mercury is the planet of communication and perception, and has a reputation for being quite the trickster planet with a youthful disposition! Meanwhile, Aquarius straddles the line between conformity and originality; it longs to be its authentic self, yet, is fearful of being ostracized by its community. Mercury in Aquarius can be thought of as the ultimate “teenager”— the idea of rebelling against the rules in one’s attempt to find its place of true belonging.
Drew’s Mercury in Aquarius is located in her ninth house of philosophy, higher learning, and personal beliefs; it’s also a house associated with publication and broadcasting. One of the most “rebellious” acts of Drew’s early career happened to be her 1995 Playboy magazine cover when she was 19.
Despite public outrage (and a fatherly note from god-parent and legendary director, Steven Spielberg to “cover up”), Drew has said that she has no regrets about her decision to appear on the cover (Mercury) because it allowed her the freedom to discover (Aquarius) herself as she was growing up.
Love Astrology of Drew Barrymore: Foundation for Stability
•Venus and Mars are the love planets in astrology. In your birth chart, Venus represents seduction and romance while Mars represents lust, motivation and erotic instincts.
Drew Barrymore’s chart features a synergistic Mars and Venus relationship, known as a sextile. While sextiles are known as “easy” aspects, it’s important to note that they don’t determine the quality of the outcome (i.e., if things are good or bad).
Drew has her Mars in Capricorn and her Venus in Pisces. Mars in Capricorn are lowkey romantics, in pursuit of the ideal partner with the long-term goal of settling down. It’s not too dissimilar from Venus in Pisces’ innate desires for the perfect relationship and love-bubble fantasy. Capricorn is an earth sign while Pisces is a water sign, making them naturally complementary elements promising fertile soil to lay the foundation for stability.
Drew’s Mars in Capricorn is located in her eighth house of intimacy and other people’s resources. She’s not really here for shallow flings, she’s looking to truly invest in her relationships as a great work of her life. Drew’s Venus on the other hand is in her very public tenth house of social status, right by her natal Jupiter in Pisces. Jupiter tends to magnify and offer opportunities of abundance, however, Drew has to discern if the opportunities (or suitors) are glitter or gold. Her Jupiter and Venus in Pisces might mistakenly confuse being nice with being kind, which might end up backfiring on her when it comes to true emotional authenticity in a relationship.
Drew has certainly had her fair share of prolific relationships and marriages in pursuit of her happily ever after. She’s tied the knot three times including a brief marriage to comedian Tom Green, producer Jeremy Thomas before that, and actor Will Kopelman most recently. Ultimately, Drew is learning to understand communicating vulnerability in a relationship once the initial chemistry has worn off.
Drew Barrymore’s Destiny-Driven Nodes Put Her Sobriety Journey Into Focus
•Astrologers use the nodes of the moon (found opposite each other in your birth chart) to determine where your destiny lies (North node) and what you were in past lifetimes (South node).
Drew Barrymore has her South Node (past-life karma) in Gemini and her North Node (destiny) in Sagittarius. Drew’s South Node actually happens to be located in the twelfth house of spirituality and surrender, typically associated with Pisces energy, while her North Node is located in the sixth house of health, typically associated with Virgo energy.
The twelfth house is also associated with rehab, mirroring Drew’s early time spent in an institution to assist with her addiction; she had developed a drinking problem at the age of 11 and became addicted to cocaine at 12 before being put into rehab for attempted suicide at 13. With her South Node located in the twelfth house (echoing her Pisces stellium), Drew is looking to break the cycle of addiction she was born into and to step courageously into her own truth and lived experiences, to find her natural high for life without the need to numb herself.
Having the North Node in the sixth house, finding the right work and mentors can help Drew navigate her sobriety journey. She had previously admitted that the offer from CBS back in 2019 to host her own talk show pushed her to make a real change in her life after a brief relapse following her divorce from Will Kopelman.
