Jeff Richmond's birth time is not publicly verified, so this chart reading skips rising sign and house placements.
A Cancer Sun is the spine. Cancer Suns are family-loyal, emotionally protective, and built for the kind of behind-the-scenes creative-and-partnership work he has carried throughout his career. He is a composer (30 Rock's incidental music, Mean Girls: The Musical, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), longtime Tina Fey collaborator (since SNL), and her husband since 2001. Cancer Sun work in its quietest-and-most-loyal register.
Mercury in Leo gives the speaking voice its warm-and-theatrical register; the musical-theater composition career runs from Leo Mercury's love of theatrical delivery.
Venus and Mars both in Gemini give the chart's love-and-drive cluster its verbal-and-playful register. Gemini Venus loves through banter and conversation; the long marriage with Fey has been famously verbal — the inside-comedy-collaboration register that defines their working partnership across SNL, 30 Rock, and the musicals.
The Scorpio Moon, solidly mid-sign at 8°22' and reliable, gives the emotional life its depth-and-privacy register. Scorpio Moons regulate through interior work; the famously private home life (two daughters, Manhattan home base) reads from Scorpio Moon's instinct for non-exhibitionist family work.
Taurus Jupiter expands through sensory craft; Pisces Saturn structures the empathic-dreamy work; Virgo Uranus-Pluto is the generational detail-disruption signature.
Pulled together: a Cancer Sun-NN making family and partnership the chart's central project, a Leo Mercury composing for theatrical scale, a Gemini Venus-Mars carrying the verbal-comedy work that has defined the marriage and the career, and a Scorpio Moon keeping the home protected from press attention across two decades of public visibility.
What the Chart Reveals
Interpretations drawn from Jeff's natal placements.
☉ Sun in Cancer
Cancer is Cardinal Water, and the Sun shines through feeling ... identity is built around care, memory, and the people and places that count as home. Vitality rises and falls with the emotional tide, drawing strength from belonging and giving it back as warmth. The presence is gentle but quietly protective. The shadow is the shell ... a self that guards the soft center so carefully it can confuse being needed with being known, and retreats inward when it most needs contact.
☽ Moon in Scorpio
Scorpio is Fixed Water, and the Moon is in its fall here ... emotion runs deeper and more intense than it can easily show, all or nothing, with nothing held lightly. Safety comes through trust earned slowly and a privacy fiercely kept. The instinct is penetrating, loyal, and quietly powerful. The shadow is the pressure of so much unshown feeling ... a heart that can brood, suspect, and hold on past all reason, and has to learn that letting another in is the risk that actually relieves the depth instead of guarding it.
☿ Mercury in Leo
Leo is Fixed Fire, and Mercury thinks with flair ... ideas come out warm, confident, and meant to be heard, delivered with the whole personality behind them. Speech is expressive, persuasive, a little theatrical. The mind enjoys an audience and usually wins one. The shadow is the ego in the argument ... a thinking that can defend a position because it is theirs rather than because it is right, learning that the strongest mind can change itself in public without losing any standing.

Cancer is Cardinal Water, and the Sun shines through feeling ... identity is built around care, memory, and the people and places that count as home. Vitality rises and falls with the emotional tide, drawing strength from belonging and giving it back as warmth. The presence is gentle but quietly protective. The shadow is the shell ... a self that guards the soft center so carefully it can confuse being needed with being known, and retreats inward when it most needs contact.
Moon in ScorpioHouse 2 (est.)
Scorpio is Fixed Water, and the Moon is in its fall here ... emotion runs deeper and more intense than it can easily show, all or nothing, with nothing held lightly. Safety comes through trust earned slowly and a privacy fiercely kept. The instinct is penetrating, loyal, and quietly powerful. The shadow is the pressure of so much unshown feeling ... a heart that can brood, suspect, and hold on past all reason, and has to learn that letting another in is the risk that actually relieves the depth instead of guarding it.
Mercury in LeoHouse 11 (est.)
Leo is Fixed Fire, and Mercury thinks with flair ... ideas come out warm, confident, and meant to be heard, delivered with the whole personality behind them. Speech is expressive, persuasive, a little theatrical. The mind enjoys an audience and usually wins one. The shadow is the ego in the argument ... a thinking that can defend a position because it is theirs rather than because it is right, learning that the strongest mind can change itself in public without losing any standing.
Venus in GeminiHouse 9 (est.)
Gemini is Mutable Air, and Venus loves through the mind ... attraction runs on wit, conversation, and the spark of a quick exchange, charmed by anyone genuinely interesting to talk to. Affection is playful, light, curious. Variety keeps the feeling alive. The shadow is the flirtation that never lands ... a way of loving that can stay at the clever surface, sampling connections, and grows by letting one of them go deep enough to become more than a good conversation.
Mars in GeminiHouse 9 (est.)
Gemini is Mutable Air, and Mars acts through the mind ... drive scatters across many fronts, energetic in words, debate, and quick mental moves. Desire is restless and easily redirected. The fight is fought with the tongue. The shadow is the energy spread too thin ... a force that starts more than it finishes and argues more than it acts, and grows by aiming the restless drive at one target long enough to actually land a blow.
Jupiter in TaurusHouse 8 (est.)
Taurus is Fixed Earth, and Jupiter expands through the tangible ... growth comes slowly and solidly, building abundance that can be touched and kept. Faith rests in the steady accumulation of real things. Luck arrives through patience and good sense. The shadow is expansion turned to excess ... a generous appetite for comfort and plenty that can tip into indulgence and hoarding, and grows by learning that enough, genuinely felt, is its own kind of wealth.
Pisces is Mutable Water, and Saturn structures the formless ... the work is giving shape to the intuitive, the spiritual, the boundless, building a vessel for what wants to dissolve. Mastery comes through disciplined compassion and grounded faith. The shadow is the fear of the very dissolution it lives near ... a self that can either wall off the depths or drown in them, and grows by learning to hold the formless without being lost in it.
Uranus in VirgoHouse 12 (est.)
Uranus moves through Virgo slowly, marking a generation ... the disruptive current runs through work, health, and the systems that order daily life, reinventing method and craft. This cohort overhauls how things actually get done. The shadow is the innovation that frays into restlessness ... a generation that can disrupt the routine faster than it can rebuild it, finding its edge when the new method genuinely improves on the old.
Neptune moves through Scorpio slowly, marking a generation ... the dissolving current dives into sex, power, and the hidden, fascinated by the taboo and the transformative. This cohort dreams in the depths. The shadow is the allure of the abyss ... a generational pull toward intensity and escape through the forbidden, finding its edge when the depth becomes genuine transformation rather than only fascination.
Pluto in VirgoHouse 12 (est.)
Pluto crosses Virgo over a generation ... the transformative power reaches work, health, and the systems that order daily life, remaking labor and the body. This cohort overhauls how things function. The shadow is control disguised as improvement ... a generational pull toward perfecting and policing the practical, finding its redemption when the drive to fix becomes genuine, humane repair.
North Node in CancerHouse 10 (est.)
The growth here runs toward feeling ... toward vulnerability, nurture, and the courage to need and be needed rather than handling everything alone. The South Node in Capricorn holds the old ease of control, competence, and the armor of self sufficiency. The pull is toward softness, which can feel like exposure. The work is letting the guard down enough to be cared for, and trusting that to need someone is not the same as being weak.
The wound here gathers around boundaries and faith ... an early experience of disillusion, of suffering with no clear cause, the self too porous to the pain of the world. It can show as escapism or a sense of being lost. The gift is the compassion the wound refined ... a profound empathy and a capacity for spiritual healing, having felt so deeply what it is to suffer and to long for grace.
Ascendant (Rising) in Libra(est.)
Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, and on the Ascendant it leads with grace ... the world meets your charm and your fairness before anything else. You come across as poised, diplomatic, easy to be around, someone who instinctively smooths a room and makes everyone in it feel met. There is real aesthetic care in how you present, a sense that harmony is something you actually offer. The surface is genuinely pleasant ... so pleasant that your trouble is the opposite of most rising signs. The work is letting people see the one who disagrees, who wants something, who has edges the diplomacy has been carefully sanding down.
Descendant in Aries(est.)
Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, and on the Descendant it draws you toward partners with fire ... bold, direct, alive, people who move first and say the thing. You seek a relationship with some heat and some friction in it, someone who challenges you to be more assertive than you are on your own. What you are looking for in another is often the directness you have not fully claimed in yourself.
Midheaven in Cancer(est.)
Cancer is a Cardinal Water sign, and on the Midheaven it ties the career to care ... you are drawn to work that protects, nurtures, or makes people feel safe, work that builds a kind of home for others. The reputation grows on warmth and the sense that you genuinely look after the people in your charge. You are known for holding things together. The risk is taking the whole weight personally ... the work is caring without carrying all of it alone.
Imum Coeli in Capricorn(est.)
Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and at the IC it shapes roots of responsibility and reserve ... the early home likely asked you to grow up a little early, to be steady, to manage. The private life is more structured than people guess. You recharge through quiet accomplishment, through building something lasting in your own small world.
