IShowSpeed birth chart with time of birth

Birth data

IShowSpeed, legally Darren Jason Watkins Jr., was born on January 21, 2005, at 6:20 p.m. in Cincinnati, Ohio. He grew up there and went to Purcell Marian High School. TIME describes him as a streamer known for his enthusiastic support of Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rolling Stone named him the most influential creator of 2025. With the time known, houses and angles can be read. What stands out is a Leo Ascendant, Mars and Pluto in the 5th house, and fixed stars on the Sun, Venus and Saturn.

What is known and what is not

The date, January 21, 2005, is given by Wikidata, Astro-Databank and Astrotheme. The press confirms it: in January 2026 Vanguard and Africanews reported his 21st birthday in Lagos, and in July 2025 TIME called him a 20-year-old. Cincinnati as the place comes from Africanews citing AP, the local station WCPO, Wikidata and both astrology databases. No source names the hospital, so the coordinates are those of the city centre.

The time of 6:20 p.m. comes from Astro-Databank, from a birth certificate supplied by the data collector Viktor E.; Astrotheme gives the same time and source. No copy of the document is public, so the Rodden rating is AA*, a birth record held by a data collector. We found no other version of the time.

The chart is cast for 18:20 Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC-5), which Ohio kept in January 2005. The Sun is at 2°02′ Aquarius: it entered the sign about two days before the birth, so the Sun sign does not depend on the hour.

A Leo Ascendant and an MC at the end of Aries

The Ascendant is at 9°37′ Leo, far from a sign boundary. The MC at 28°56′ Aries is one degree, about four minutes of clock time, short of Taurus, so its sign rests on the accuracy of the record.

Tradition links a Leo Ascendant with a bright, confident manner and a need to be seen. The Sun, ruler of Leo, sits in the 6th house of daily work and routine. Astrologers read an Aries MC as a public image built on directness, energy and competition.

Mars and Pluto in Sagittarius in the 5th house

Mars at 18°54′ Sagittarius and Pluto at 23°26′ Sagittarius are in the 5th house: the conjunction of Mars and Pluto has an orb of 4°32′. Tradition links the 5th house with play, creativity and everything done for an audience, and Sagittarius adds travel and a taste for risk.

Mars makes a sextile to Jupiter at 18°40′ Libra in the 3rd house with an orb of 0°13′. This is the tightest major aspect between planets in the chart. The 3rd house describes speech and short trips, so the sextile links the house of play with the house of words, and tradition treats it as an angle that lets things move without resistance.

Moon in Gemini opposite Pluto

The Moon at 24°22′ Gemini is in the 11th house, the house of friends, groups and communities. The Moon is in opposition to Pluto in the 5th house, orb 0°56′. Tradition links Gemini with quick reactions, talkativeness and curiosity about everything at once, and a Moon in the 11th house with a need to belong to a group. The opposition to Pluto is read as making these reactions intense, with emotions others can feel.

Mercury and Venus in Capricorn, square Jupiter

Mercury at 17°06′ Capricorn and Venus at 15°22′ Capricorn form a conjunction in the 6th house with an orb of 1°44′. Both square Jupiter in Libra, with orbs of 1°33′ for Mercury and 3°18′ for Venus. Tradition reads Capricorn in the 6th as a habit of systematic daily work, and the square to Jupiter adds scale and a liking for big gestures.

Venus is exactly on Vega, within 0°00′. Ptolemy gives Vega the nature of Venus and Mercury, the same pair of planets that is conjunct here. The Sun lies within 0°11′ of Altair, the star of the Eagle, with the nature of Mars and Jupiter. A retrograde Saturn at 23°13′ Cancer in the 12th house lies within 0°03′ of Pollux, the brighter of the heavenly Twins, of a purely Martian nature in Ptolemy.
