When Is Johnny Depp’s Birthday?
Johnny Depp’s birthday is June 9.
Johnny Depp’s Sun Sign Is In Entertaining Gemini
•The Sun represents the essence of your personality, your main character energy•
Johnny Depp’s astrological sign is Gemini. He was born on June 9, 1963, in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Gemini Suns are the known storytellers of the zodiac, you never know what they’re going to say next or where their next move (or movie) is coming from, but you’re always intrigued to find out. As a mutable sign, Gemini is incredibly chameleonic and can easily adapt to change.
Johnny Depp has certainly appeared as some of the most memorable characters in cinematic history, from Edward Scissorhands (fun fact, Gemini happens to rule the hands!) to Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, there seems to be a different Johnny for every mood.
Johnny’s Gemini Sun is located in the eleventh house of social networks and community. Despite what seems like an eternity in Hollywood, Johnny remains one of the most bankable stars in tinseltown amidst some turbulent times, demonstrating the gravitas of that eleventh house orbit.
The eleventh house is also associated with Aquarius energy, indicative of a potentially “outsider” type of energy that Johnny represents in some of his most memorable roles (it’s giving “cult movie icon.”)
Johnny Depp’s Rising Sign Is Quintessential Actor Leo
•Your rising sign, or ascendant, is the first impression you make. Like a filter, it “tints” your Sun sign•
Johnny Depp is a Leo Rising.
Leo happens to rule the hair, no surprise that Johnny’s sported some iconic hairstyles over the years (almost as iconic as the actor himself!).
Leo risings naturally invite you in with their warmth and charm, making them the ultimate social kings and queens of their court. As a Leo rising, Johnny is a natural performer with deep-rooted creativity. He actually began his entertainment career in rock bands before transitioning into his illustrious film career. Johnny plays these days with music legends Alice Cooper and Joe Perry in the band, Hollywood Vampires, and has collaborated with Jeff Beck.
Johnny Depp is also an accomplished artist and enduring fashion icon, modeling for brands like Dior and walking Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty runway. There’s almost nothing creative this Leo rising hasn’t tried!
Johnny Depp’s Moon Is in Timeless Capricorn
•Your moon sign governs the “inner you” and influences your emotions•
Johnny Depp’s natal chart moon is in Capricorn, an earth sign that is deeply ambitious and focused on legacy, i.e., a great work (or works). Capricorn moons are no-nonsense about their motivations, known to be incredibly disciplined about their craft.
Capricorn moons also tend to find comfort in their own company, secretly preferring hermit-mode as opposed to a loud party. Johnny never chased after the fame that came with his prolific career, he was always more interested in pursuing his acting craft. In an interview with The Boston Globe, Johnny noted that he felt that he could only be himself when he was alone, turning to alcohol and drugs to help ease the pain.
Johnny’s Capricorn moon is located in his sixth house, the traditional house of work and health. Johnny has been diagnosed with depression and chronic substance abuse as he navigates caring for his mental health.
Expansive Jupiter Challenges Johnny’s Grounded Capricorn Moon
•Jupiter in your birth chart reveals where you’re adventurous and willing to take risks•
Jupiter is the planet of exaggeration, turning up the ante on anything it touches in the natal chart. Johnny’s Jupiter happens to be in Aries, a passionate fire sign that seeks to understand the difference between anger and fear.
Jupiter in Aries is about cultivating faith in one’s ability to survive, having the courage to overcome one’s fears. Jupiter happens to be forming a tense aspect known as a square with his Capricorn moon, indicating Johnny’s ability to endure serious challenges until push comes to shove.
It’s interesting to note that ex-wife and actress Amber Heard’s natal Mercury (communication), happens to be in Aries, activating this natal Jupiter-Moon square.
Johnny Depp’s South Node Is Also In Responsible Capricorn
•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).
Johnny Depp has his South Node (past-life karma) in Capricorn and his North Node (destiny) in Cancer. With a South Node in Capricorn. He has had to internalize some heavy-duty responsibility and suffering early on in this lifetime.
South Node in Capricorn types aren’t usually comfortable putting their self-care first, potentially finding it difficult to address their own emotions. Johnny’s South Node is also located in his sixth house along with his moon, emphasizing themes of responsibility and mothering.
During the defamation trial, Johnny disclosed that he had incurred the wrath of his mother’s abuse as a child, noting that his father told him that “you’re the man now” when he left the family, familiar fingerprints of Capricorn karma.
With a North Node in Cancer, Johnny is here to learn to care for himself, prioritizing his peace of mind in lieu of inherited obligations. Cancer is also a sign deeply connected with divine inspiration and memory. Acting ultimately serves as a beautiful channel for Johnny, allowing him to process his emotions in a way that allows others to feel seen.
Johnny Depp’s Chart Ruler Is His Curious Gemini Sun
•Your chart ruler is the planet that rules over your rising sign•
As a Leo Rising, Johnny’s chart ruler happens to be none other than his Gemini Sun. Think of your chart ruler like your personal character in the move of your life. Gemini is the sign associated with a youth-like disposition; Johnny has certainly retained his boyish charm well into his adulthood.
Gemini is also the sign associated with rumors and gossip, making it difficult to distinguish perception from reality. Johnny was famously embroiled in his abuse/defamation trial with ex-wife, actress Amber Heard. Despite the final verdict of the trial, it’s clear that nothing about the case was straightforward, illustrating Gemini’s relationship with the truth.
Love Astrology of Johnny Depp: Too Much of a Good Thing?
•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.
Johnny Depp has his Venus in Taurus and his Mars in Virgo, forming what traditionally would be considered an “easy” elemental aspect known as a trine.
Venus in Taurus longs for a stable, long-term relationship, while Mars in Virgo is happy to serve and accommodate. Johnny was previously with French singer and model Vanessa Paradis for 14 years, even sharing a child together, actress Lily-Rose Depp.
However, just because aspects are easy doesn’t make them good, there absolutely can be too much of a good thing. With the earth sign emphasis in his chart (Virgo and Taurus), Johnny can take on a level of obstinance in his relationships.
Johnny’s Venus happens to be located by Mercury (communication and banter), while his Mars is atop Uranus (rebellion and impulsivity). With these combinations of energies, Johnny can quite easily find himself trapped in an endless loop of stimulation, both in the good times and bad.
