When Is Jeanna Ortega’s Birthday?
Jenna Ortega’s birthday is September 27.
Jenna Ortega’s Sun Sign Is In Charming and Talented Libra
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Jenna Ortega’s astrological sign is Libra. She was born on September 27, 2002, in Rancho Mirage, California.
Libra is a cardinal air sign that rules love, relationships, and artistic endeavors. Ruled by the planet Venus, Libras are known for their charm and beauty. As a Libra Sun, it’s no surprise that Jenna is a Neutrogena ambassador with a Dior beauty contract (in addition to a rocketing career actress).
Beneath the surface, however, lies some serious talent—Libra is all about balance after all! Aside from her best lead actress Emmy nomination (Jenna’s one of the youngest ever to be nominated), she has established herself as a “scream queen” as Wednesday.
With her Libra Sun in her seventh house of partnerships and trust, Jenna shines brightest when she works with others. While she may have sharp takes and a pointed artistic perspective, Jenna’s collaborations can challenge and help lift her creative vision or political beliefs to another level. As every Libra knows, the sum of both parts creates a greater whole—much like her feature co-starring role in Sabrina Carpenter’s Taste music video.
Jenna Ortega’s Natal Chart Moon Spells Youthfulness
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
In addition to her airy Sun, Jenna Ortega has her emotional moon in Gemini, offering her a youthful presence and innate inquisitiveness—perfect for her starring role as Wednesday Addams. She’s smart, plucky, adventurous—and knows how to whip out some serious dance moves if the scene calls for it.
With a Gemini moon, Jenna has a *lot* of thoughts (especially since it’s located in her expressive third house)—she could run into overthinking tendencies that result in a few cringe or foot-in-mouth moments if she’s not careful. Gemini is a fast-paced energy, eager to jump from one thought to the next. She’s learning to calm the stream of consciousness running through her brain to understand her POV. Meditation and breathwork are helpful allies to help slow her down (before her excitement gets ahead of her).
Jenna had previously come under fire for her remarks after her notorious interview on Armchair Expert (Dax Shepard and Monica Padman’s wildly popular podcast)—more third-house Gemini moon symbolism. She recounted how she was “almost unprofessional” while filming Wednesday by changing lines that didn’t feel authentic to her, highlighting creative differences with the writers on set in a public forum. Writers did not take too kindly to her comments, made apparent during the writers’ strike that happened months following the interview.
Jenna Ortega’s Rising Sign Tugs At Identity Contrasts
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Jenna Ortega is a Pisces Rising. Pisces risings have a dreamy and enchanting aura, with delicate, otherworldly features. As a Pisces rising, Jenna can energetically connect with others, offering her emotional intelligence in social situations. Pisces risings are naturally creative and find solace in the arts or spiritual endeavors—they’re intuitive beings with a rich inner world.
On a more serious note, Pisces risings can be subjected to heavy projection from the public. Jenna might struggle to understand who she truly is in contrast to what her fans expect of her. Her Latina identity has been scrutinized by the media, at once celebrating her as a shining example of Latina representation while at the same critiquing her for not being Latina “enough.” Akin to the Pisces symbol of two fishes heading in opposite directions, Jenna’s identity can feel like a swimming contradiction to those on the outside looking in.
Jenna Ortega’s Chart Ruler Is Her Personal Beetlejuice
•Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign•
As a Pisces Rising, Jenna’s chart is ruled by her abundant Jupiter in Leo. A chart ruler acts like the personal character in your version of Beetlejuice. With Jupiter in Leo driving Jenna’s chart, she assumes the role of the passionate creative who commands the stage with a riveting performance.
Jenna’s Jupiter is in her fifth house of self-expression and pleasure. With Jupiter ruling expansion and opportunity, an energetic link exists between how much fun Jenna has with her artistic projects and the success she begets. Jupiter in Leo can indicate an abundance of confidence and a magnetic presence that attracts suitors to the fold.
Fun fact: On the cusp of Wednesday’s release, legendary director Tim Burton (Jupiter) offered her a role in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-awaited sequel to the cult movie classic, further cementing her reputation as one of the leading (Jupiter) actresses of her generation.
Love Astrology of Jenna Ortega: High Standards, Side of Freak
•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.
Jenna Ortega’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 (if things are good or bad).
Jenna has her Mars in Virgo and her Venus in Scorpio. Virgo is an earth sign while Scorpio is a water sign, making them naturally complementary elements promising a fertile foundation for a long-lasting relationship.
Mars in Virgo are perfectionists with high standards, in pursuit of a partner who can match her freak i.e., appetite for personal growth and development. Mars in Virgo types tend to be intentional about dating and aren’t interested in a loud, splashy romance—similar to Venus in Scorpio’s need for privacy and real intimacy. Venus in Scorpio on the other hand looks to unite mind, body, and soul with their partners—emotional honesty as the crux of their bond.
Jenna’s Mars in Virgo is in her sixth house of work and routines while Venus in Scorpio is in her eighth house of intimacy and shared resources. Jenna has been vocal about keeping her love life private, viewing it as a distraction from work: “When you know too much about someone’s personal life, then you watch films, and you can only see them…[the celebrity version of them], there’s nothing worse.”

Jenna Ortega’s South Node Is In Visionary Sagittarius
•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).
Jenna Ortega has her South Node (past-life karma) in Sagittarius and her North Node (destiny) in Gemini. Her Sagittarius South Node is in her expansive ninth house and her Gemini North Node is in his communicative third house.
Since her Sagittarius south node is located in her ninth house of personal beliefs and higher education (Sagittarius naturally rules the ninth house), Jenna is here to learn how to create cross-cultural bridges. Her Sagittarius south node gives her an innate awareness of ethics and morality—and an inclination towards social justice and fighting on behalf of the underdog.
Her challenge, however, is to bridge the gap with the people around her to promote a more well-balanced narrative that can serve the greater good. She could inadvertently get wrapped up in her ideals and dogma, challenging her ability to be understood by the other side rather than being a harbinger of a peaceful and diplomatic outcome.
