English actor, comedian, and television host known for The Late Late Show with James Corden.

James Corden's natal chart is anchored by a Leo Sun — a radiant, creative force... someone who needs to express, to be seen, and finds identity through the courage to shine.

Beneath the surface, an Aries Moon speaks to what James needs emotionally... action and independence when emotions run high. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.

Their energy is channeled through partnership and diplomacy... they prefer strategy to force. With 3 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of James's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Libra gives James's chart a strong Libra emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations

Birth time unknown. Sign placements (Sun, Moon, planets) are accurate. House placements and Rising sign are estimated from noon and may not reflect the actual chart.

Sun in LeoHouse 10 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and the Sun is in its domicile here ... at full power, fully at home, expressing itself with natural warmth and creative authority. Fire makes your need to shine vivid and generative; Fixed modality gives that radiance staying power and genuine loyalty rather than mere performance. You feel most yourself when you are creating, leading, or celebrating others' gifts alongside your own. The productive tension is between generosity and the hunger for recognition: Leo's solar strength is real, but it deepens when the light you radiate is genuinely offered rather than traded for applause.

Moon in AriesHouse 6 (est.)

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and the Moon here processes emotion quickly, directly, and with an urgency that demands expression. Fire makes feelings eruptive and short-lived rather than brooding; Cardinal modality means your instinct is to act on what you feel rather than sit with it. You feel emotionally safe when you are in motion ... asserting yourself, protecting what matters, pursuing what you want. A concrete tendency is a short emotional fuse that recovers quickly: you flare, say what you feel, and genuinely move on, which can confuse those whose emotional pace is slower than yours.

Mercury in LeoHouse 10 (est.)

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign, and Mercury here communicates with flair, narrative confidence, and a natural instinct for holding an audience. Fire makes your expression enthusiastic and inherently dramatic; Fixed modality gives you a consistent, committed voice that stands behind what it says. You think in stories and images rather than data points, and your capacity for persuasion is genuine. A concrete tendency is an intellectual pride that makes you compelling as a communicator but occasionally resistant to revising your position once you have expressed it publicly ... the sophistication of this mind grows when the same confidence that delivers ideas is paired with genuine curiosity about whether they are right.

Venus in LibraHouse 12 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Venus is in its domicile here ... the planet of love in its own sign, naturally expressive, elegantly relational, and aesthetically refined. Air makes your love nature social, communicative, and oriented toward genuine partnership and fairness; Cardinal modality means you pursue connection actively rather than waiting. You have a natural gift for making others feel genuinely valued and a strong aesthetic sensibility that shapes how you inhabit your relationships and your world. A concrete tendency is conflict avoidance that ultimately deepens the problems it was meant to dissolve ... the most important relational courage for this placement is learning to speak an uncomfortable truth before the silence has accumulated enough weight to collapse the peace entirely.

Mars in LibraHouse 11 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Mars is in its detriment here ... the planet of assertive, direct action in the sign that prefers diplomacy and the avoidance of unpleasantness. Air directs your drive toward ideas and the quality of your relationships; Cardinal modality means you do initiate, but always with a calculation of impact and an eye toward fairness. A concrete tendency is passive aggression as the expression of unexpressed anger: because this placement finds direct confrontation genuinely uncomfortable, frustrations tend to accumulate and emerge sideways ... learning to act on your own behalf before resentment has built into something harder to manage is the central practical challenge.

Jupiter in CancerHouse 9 (est.)

Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and Jupiter is in its exaltation here ... the planet of abundance in the sign of nurturing and emotional generosity, one of the most naturally giving and fortunate placements. Water expands your capacity for empathy and intuitive understanding; Cardinal modality makes your generosity active and proactive, moving toward others to care for them. Your fortune tends to flow through family, home, and the communities that feel like home. A concrete tendency is the difficulty separating your wellbeing from the emotional state of those around you: Jupiter amplifies Cancer's permeability, and the productive work is learning where nurturing ends and losing yourself in others begins.

Saturn in VirgoHouse 10 (est.)

Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign, and Saturn here intensifies Virgo's already exacting standards for precision, service, and practical competence. Earth makes the lessons concrete and tangible; Mutable modality means the challenge is adaptability within discipline ... rigor without paralysis. Your standards of quality are genuinely high, and your capacity for thoroughness is a real asset. A concrete tendency is the incompleteness loop: the same perfectionism that produces mastery can generate an inner critic so exacting that nothing ever quite clears the bar, preventing completion and eroding satisfaction in work that is, by any reasonable measure, excellent. Learning to recognize when done is better than perfect is some of this placement's most liberating work.

Uranus in ScorpioHouse 1 (est.)

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Uranus here (1975–1981) disrupts through sudden and irreversible transformation in power, sexuality, death, and the hidden structures beneath social life. Water makes Uranus's disruption psychologically penetrating and impossible to ignore once activated; Fixed modality means the changes are thorough and lasting when they finally come. Your generation grew up through the AIDS crisis, the restructuring of sexual norms, and major upheavals in global power. A concrete tendency is a deep familiarity with intensity and transformation as the natural rhythm of existence ... and an unusual ability to navigate crisis without being undone by it.

Neptune in SagittariusHouse 2 (est.)

Sagittarius is a Mutable Fire sign, and Neptune here (1970–1984) dissolves the boundaries around religion, philosophy, and the search for meaning across cultures. Fire makes Neptune's idealism expansive and drawn to the universal; Mutable modality keeps the dissolution wide-ranging and restlessly seeking. This generation is drawn to spiritual exploration across traditions and carries a genuine hunger for a truth that transcends any single faith. The shadow is spiritual bypassing ... the dilution of profound traditions into comfortable lifestyle choices, and a restlessness that mistakes perpetual seeking for having arrived at the wisdom it was looking for.

Pluto in LibraHouse 12 (est.)

Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and Pluto here (1971–1984) brought profound transformation to partnership, justice, and the social contracts governing how people relate. Air makes Pluto's transformation relational and conceptual; Cardinal modality means the destruction and rebuilding arrive at points of commitment and formal agreement. This generation came of age witnessing the collapse of conventional marriage, the rise of identity politics, and a wholesale reconsideration of what equality actually requires. The shadow is a power struggle at the heart of love ... the intimate relationship as the primary arena in which questions of domination and freedom are played out rather than resolved.

North Node in VirgoHouse 11 (est.)

Your North Node in Virgo calls you toward discernment, practical service, and the satisfaction of grounded, skillful work done in service of something real. Virgo is a Mutable Earth sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward precision, usefulness, and the humility of attending to what is actually in front of you rather than what is transcendently possible. The corresponding South Node in Pisces suggests an ingrained ease with imagination, dissolution, and the avoidance of the particular. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the drift toward idealism that excuses you from the harder work of specificity. The medicine is learning that the spiritual and the practical are not opposites ... that genuine service is one of the most grounded expressions of compassion available.

Chiron in TaurusHouse 7 (est.)

Your Chiron in Taurus places your core wound in the realm of self-worth, material security, and the body. Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign ... the wound here is slow to form, deep, and organized around the felt sense of inherent value or its absence. You may carry a persistent background sense that love, comfort, or belonging must be earned rather than received as a baseline. A concrete tendency is the endless productivity that is really an argument against unworthiness ... the unconscious belief that if you rest or stop building, something important will be revealed as missing. The gift is a hard-won wisdom about what genuine worth actually is, and a remarkable capacity to help others discover it in themselves.

Ascendant (Rising) in Scorpio(est.)

With Scorpio rising, you project intensity and depth before you say a word. People sense that there is more going on beneath the surface than you reveal. Your presence is magnetic and a little mysterious... you observe everything and give away very little until you decide someone has earned your trust.

Descendant in Taurus(est.)

With your Descendant in Taurus, you're drawn to partners who are stable, sensual, and grounded. You seek relationships that provide security and consistency... someone who makes the world feel solid.

MC

Midheaven in Leo(est.)

With your Midheaven in Leo, your career path demands creative self-expression and recognition. You thrive when your work is visible and your unique contribution is acknowledged. Your public reputation is built on confidence, generosity, and the ability to inspire others.

IC

Imum Coeli in Aquarius(est.)

With your IC in Aquarius, your roots are shaped by unconventionality and intellectual independence. Your home life may have felt different from the norm. You recharge through freedom, technology, and spaces where you can think without rules.
