Jack Harlow

Jack Harlow made his first mixtape at twelve, recording with a friend on a microphone from a Guitar Hero video game, and sold copies to classmates at his middle school in Louisville, Kentucky. He kept recording through high school, building a local following, and he never moved away. Even after becoming one of the biggest rappers in the country, he has kept Louisville at the center of his identity.

He was born Jackman Thomas Harlow on March 13, 1998, in St. Matthews, a suburb of Louisville, at 11:42 in the morning, per his birth certificate. Pisces holds his Sun, which sits in the tenth house, where careers and reputations are read, along with Jupiter, also in Pisces, and Mars in Aries. Pisces is charming, intuitive and easygoing, and Jupiter magnifies it. A Pisces Sun with Jupiter in the tenth describes a public image built on likability and an air of effortless luck, and Harlow's persona, relaxed, flirtatious and self-assured, was central to his rise.

Mars in Aries in the same house adds competitive drive. For all the ease, Harlow is known as a serious student of hip-hop who studied the craft and the business from a young age.

Gemini is his rising sign, which suits a rapper known for wordplay, wit and conversational flow. Gemini is quick, verbal and playful, and Harlow's verses often sound like someone talking to you, half joking and half bragging.

In 2018 he signed with Generation Now, the label run by DJ Drama and Don Cannon, in partnership with Atlantic Records. In 2020 his single "Whats Poppin" became a viral hit and earned a Grammy nomination. The next year he appeared with Lil Nas X on "Industry Baby," which went to No. 1, and in 2022 his own song "First Class," built on a sample of Fergie's "Glamorous," debuted in the top spot on Billboard's singles chart.

His Moon is in the last degrees of Virgo, in his fourth house, which concerns home, family and roots. A Virgo Moon is careful, modest and self-critical, and in the fourth it ties emotional security to home. Harlow has often described himself as a homebody, and he has stayed close to his parents and his city, appearing at the Kentucky Derby and working with Louisville causes.

Mercury and Saturn, both in Aries, fall in his eleventh house, the area of friends, networks and collaborators. Harlow has built his career with a tight circle of Louisville friends, his creative collective Private Garden.

Venus and Neptune in Aquarius sit in the eighth house, and Uranus in Aquarius lies in the ninth, adding a restless curiosity about wider experience. In 2023 he made his acting debut in a remake of White Men Can't Jump, and that year he released Jackman, a deliberately low-key, introspective album that traded glossy hits for stories about home.

The Pisces Sun in his tenth house made him a charming star; the Virgo Moon in the fourth house keeps sending him back to Louisville.
