Birth data: 2002-09-27, 17:59, Rancho Mirage, California, USA; Rodden rating AA*.

Jenna Ortega was born on September 27, 2002, at 5:59 p.m. in Rancho Mirage, in California's Coachella Valley. She is of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage, grew up in nearby La Quinta and has been acting since the age of nine. With the time known, houses and angles can be read. What stands out is the Sun and Mercury in Libra in the 7th house and two T-squares, one mutable and one fixed.

## What is known and what is not

The date is not in doubt: Rotten Tomatoes, Variety, Wikidata, Astro-Databank and Astrotheme agree on it.

The place varies, but only between neighbouring cities. Astro-Databank and Astrotheme name Rancho Mirage and cite a birth certificate. Rotten Tomatoes and Variety say "Coachella Valley", Biography.com names La Quinta, where she grew up, and Wikidata gives Palm Desert from secondary websites. These places lie within about 15 km of each other, at most 0.2° of longitude, which has no practical effect on the chart. We keep Rancho Mirage because it comes from the document. No source names the hospital, so the coordinates are those of the city centre.

The time of 5:59 p.m. comes from Astro-Databank: the data collector Claire Nakti supplied the birth certificate, and the database holds a copy it has not published. Astrotheme gives the same time from the same source. We found no public image of the document, so the [Rodden rating](/en/methodology#rodden) is AA*, a birth record held by a data collector. We found no other version of the time.

The chart is cast for 17:59 Pacific Daylight Time (PDT, UTC-7): in 2002 California kept summer time until October 27. The Ascendant is at 22°17′ Pisces and the MC at 25°22′ Sagittarius, both far from a sign boundary.

## Sun and Mercury in Libra in the 7th house

The Sun at 4°44′ Libra and a retrograde Mercury at 4°10′ Libra form a [conjunction](/en/aspects/conjunction) with an orb of 0°33′. Both are in the 7th house, the house of partners. Tradition links Libra with a feel for form, balance and the other person's response, and astrologers read the Sun in the 7th as a character that comes out most fully in interaction: in a duet, in dialogue, opposite a scene partner.

Both bodies [square](/en/aspects/square) Chiron at 3°31′ Capricorn in the 10th house. Mercury's square to Chiron has an orb of 0°39′, the Sun's has 1°13′. Modern astrology links Chiron with a vulnerable spot that becomes a source of experience, and the 10th house with public role.

## A mutable T-square: Moon, Pluto and Mars

The Moon at 15°27′ Gemini in the 3rd house is in [opposition](/en/aspects/opposition) to Pluto at 15°11′ Sagittarius in the 9th, orb 0°15′. This is the tightest aspect between planets in the chart. Both square Mars at 18°43′ Virgo in the 6th house, with orbs of 3°16′ to the Moon and 3°32′ to Pluto. All three are in mutable signs: a [T-square](/en/aspects/patterns/t-square) of the mutable cross with Mars at the apex.

Tradition links the mutable cross with mobility and the ability to adjust. Astrologers read a Moon-Pluto opposition as strong, deep feelings that the person is used to keeping close. Mars in Virgo at the apex, in the 6th house of daily work, channels that tension into careful craft where every detail counts.

## A fixed T-square: Jupiter, Neptune and Venus

Jupiter at 11°37′ Leo in the 5th house and a retrograde Neptune at 8°19′ Aquarius in the 11th are in opposition with an orb of 3°17′. Venus at 12°43′ Scorpio in the 8th house squares both, with orbs of 1°06′ to Jupiter and 4°24′ to Neptune. Leo, Aquarius and Scorpio are fixed signs, so this is the chart's second T-square, with Venus at the apex.

Tradition links the 5th house with creativity, play and the stage, and Jupiter in Leo with a generous, theatrical way of showing oneself. Venus in Scorpio at the apex adds depth and a darker flavour: a pull towards mystery and images between light and shadow. Venus lies within 0°24′ of [Alphecca](/en/fixed-stars/alphecca), the bright star of the Northern Crown, to which Ptolemy gives the nature of Venus and Mercury. The planet sits on a star of kindred nature.

Saturn at 28°55′ Gemini in the 4th house lies within 0°07′ of [Betelgeuse](/en/fixed-stars/betelgeuse), the red shoulder of Orion.
