Youve probably seen every heinous episode of Netflixs You, starring Penn Badgley. And because the protagonist is such a passionate, conflicted, and lethal character, you may be wondering what Joe Goldbergs zodiac sign is. However, with Season 4 of the Netflix Original releasing on February 9, we want you to understand why this role was truly written. Well, it was written by looking at Penn Badgleys birth chart because it explains why he understands this character so well.
In You, Badgley plays Joe Goldberg, a brilliant serial killer and a certified stalker who bounces from New York City to Los Angeles and is now on his way to London to continue avoiding his murderous past. The plot continues to twist and turn, capitalizing on Joes troubled childhood and the traumatic experiences that led him into the life of a love-struck killer.
Joe Goldbergs character develops deeper, more intensely, and ultimately more twisted with each season. For those who havent seen You yet, heres a spoiler: In the last three seasons, Joe has demonstrated his absolute mastery of switching from charming to creepy, manipulating his love interests, and covering up the murders of over fifteen other characters. We had to look into Penn Badgleys birth chart to understand Joe Goldberg and how this character is so eerily believable!

Joe Goldbergs Zodiac Sign: Since the Character Was Written Looking at the Zodiac Sign of Penn Badgley, Joe Is a Scorpio as Well!
Penn Badgleys (@pennbadgley) birth chart reveals that his characters intensity, fixation, and unwavering dedication to his love interests are very easily channeled by Badgley. His zodiac sign is Scorpio. However, Penn not only has a Scorpio sun, but he also has a Scorpio moon, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto. And, while being a Scorpio does not imply that you are exactly like Joe Goldberg, it does explain why Penn Badgley understands the complexities of this role so well.
The sun represents someones outward-facing personality in astrology. The moon reveals information about someones childhood as well as their inner emotional landscape. Mercury positions indicate how a person will communicate and network with others. Venus reveals how they love and want to be loved. Mars explains how they act and defend themselves.
Pluto, on the other hand, has access to someones subconscious thoughts and desires. We can see that the majority of Penn Badgleys personality will be imprinted with passion, control, and desire. There is an undeniable mirror effect between Badgleys real-life birth chart and Joe Goldbergs perplexing character.
Many websites list Badgleys rising sign as Aries, but all of these planetary placements in Scorpio are also in his natal eighth house. When many personal placements fall into the eighth house, there is an innate understanding of the dark and gory aspects of life. People with their natal sun in the eighth house usually feel established in their careers and have an ambitious and opportunistic personality. Penns goal is to establish a successful acting career. With the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, and Pluto all in this intense and fixed water sign energy, Penns decision to establish a career in acting by playing a serial killer makes perfect sense.
Aquarius, the water bearer, has a bad reputation for being emotionally detached, but what better sign to have your Mars placement occupy if youre playing a serial killer? Aquarius The people of Mars have an insatiable desire for liberty. Consider Joes inability to accept responsibility for his murderous actions and his need to avoid legal repercussions for his victims. Joes constant desire to escape societys constraints is well-played by Penns Aquarius Mars placement and grows more convincing season after season.
Penns natal Jupiter is also in Pisces, a dreamy and emotional sign. People born under Jupiter in Pisces have a deep sense of connection with others, regardless of how long theyve known them. Consider how quickly and deeply Joe becomes obsessed with his love interests. There is a deeply poetic and overly romanticized view of the women in his life, and given Penns natal Jupiter placement, we wouldnt be surprised if he was like this in real life as well!
Last but not least, we can see that Penn Badgleys South Node is in the sign of Libra. In astrology, the South Node reveals someones natural tendencies, which they must overcome in this lifetime in order to achieve true balance and fulfillment. This placement may indicate codependency issues or reliance on validation from partners for ones sense of worth. This placement would also indicate to us that his North Node is in Aries, a sign that values individuality and relationship to Self.
Joe could learn from Penns birth chart, and we hope to see some healthy interdependence, accountability, and self-prioritization in Joe when season 4 of You premieres on Netflix on February 9, 2023. And, of course, we all know it will be expertly portrayed by Penn Badgley, who is both talented and emotionally receptive.
