Director

James Gunn

Water takes five of his ten planets, fire three and earth two, and air gets none. Mars, Venus and Jupiter sit inside three degrees of Cancer, at seventeen, eighteen and twenty, which is a very tight group for three planets. Gunn directs, and the record names Guardians of the Galaxy.

That Cancer group is the chart. Mars sits sixty degrees from Pluto at five hundredths of a degree, the closest contact here, and sixty degrees from Uranus at two thirds, while Venus sits at that same angle to Uranus at just over a third. Drive and taste both reach out of the group on easy terms to the planets of change and of concentrated force. Jupiter sits in easy contact with Neptune at three fifths of a degree, generous imagination, vision and a real ability to inspire other people, which in a director is the contact that does the work.

The Sun sits at thirteen degrees of Leo with Mercury on the first degree of the same sign and retrograde, and Saturn sits on the last degree of Pisces. Uranus sits conjunct Pluto at seven tenths of a degree, which is the conjunction a whole cohort was born under and worth very little in any one chart. His Moon sits on the first degree of Aries at noon, with the sign before it still possible, Pisces, so it is left out. A director the record attaches to one franchise has his tight group in the sign that looks after what it belongs to, which is at least the right shape for the job.

Two returns fell within three months of each other: Saturn on its Pisces birth degree on 6 February 2026 and Jupiter on its Cancer one on 8 May 2026, both at fifty nine. Having the account come due and a new twelve year chapter open in the same spring is an unusual coincidence of timing. Three planets inside three degrees of Cancer with no air at all is the fact to keep from this chart: it looks after what it belongs to and it does not argue the point.

Cast your own birth chart

James Gunn is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.
