Justin Timberlake projects his cool Aquarian Sun through the power of his dramatic Leo Ascendant. This charismatic combination of smarts and showmanship has kept his career on track through scandal, break-ups and broken bones.
Justin Timberlake has always acted older than his age. The talented singer, songwriter and occasional actor was performing on 'The Mickey Mouse Club' television show at 11, and helped create the super-successful group *NSYNC when he was only 14. He's moved from a relationship with someone his own age (Britney Spears) to spend his quality time with Cameron Diaz, a woman almost nine years older. This young man in a hurry is an Aquarius -- born January 31, 1981 at 6:30 pm in Memphis, Tennessee -- with two clear astrological indicators of his maturity. Saturn, the ringed planet of adulthood, formed a supportive 120-degree trine to the Sun on the day of his birth. This gives Justin stability and ambition rarely found in someone so young. And Venus, the planet of love, was in Saturn's serious home sign of Capricorn, which indicates an attraction to older people and a commitment to maximizing opportunities. In spite of the professionalism associated with this chart placement, Justin's almost as famous for the Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction with Janet Jackson, another older woman, as he is for his musical gifts. Pluto, the planet of secrets, sits in a tense relationship with Justin's Venus, which explains why Janet's exposed breast led to a national debate regarding sex on television.

Lucky Justin has expansive Jupiter favorably aligned with his Sun, allowing the Super Bowl scandal to fade in the background as he won two Grammies the following month. The ever-creative Justin even launched a clothing line in November 2005. His ability to come up with new ideas is reflected in the close conjunction between his Moon -- which concerns habits and instincts -- and imaginative Neptune in the adventurous sign of Sagittarius. Saturn may keep his feet on the ground, but his mind will always be in the clouds, seeking new ways to express his diverse talents. The Moon-Neptune conjunction also adds a romantic side, which is not especially common for an Aquarian with Venus in Capricorn. The heightened sensitivity of this lunar combination was expressed perfectly when he said, "I kiss people with my soul. I don't kiss them with my mouth."
The easygoing fire of Justin's Sagittarius Moon is turned up high by his dynamic Leo Ascendant. This rising point in the chart describes the way a person presents him or herself to the world. Justin's cool Aquarius Sun filtered through the dramatic summer sign of Leo makes him a natural performer. The spotlight is a comfortable position except when his unpredictable Uranus -- in a challenging square to the Ascendant -- pops up (or out) at inopportune moments. The planet of accidents showed up when he broke his thumb on stage in 1997, when he fractured his foot while dancing in 2002 and, of course, when Janet did her accidental Super Bowl striptease. But there's no need to worry about a run of bad luck for Justin. His success -- which comes from talent, planning and hard work -- is completely 'Justified.'
