Tony and Oscar-nominated actor and T. Swift’s longtime muse, Jake Gyllenhaal (the one with the good hair, kind disposition, unbridled sarcasm, and ice-cream dimples) is the embodiment of Sagittarius energy.
Sourdough maker Jamie Lee Curtis’s godson is understood for such iconic roles as the titular troubled teenager “Donnie Darko” and hiding rodeo king/ranch sidekick Jack Twist in “Brokeback Mountain”.
Gyllenhaal returns to the screen this spring as Sgt. John Kinley in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, a movie inspired by Afghan translators who worked with and for the US military and were left without visas and in extreme danger when the US withdrew from the country in 2021.
It is a return to form and uniform for Gyllenhaal, who played US Marine Anthony Swofford in the autobiographical film “Jarhead” and a military captain in “Source Code”.
Since the starting of his profession, Gyllenhaal has consistently played roles that explore and challenge constructs of masculinity. From boxers to superhero villains, widowers to drug dealers, cops to criminals, villains to voyeurs, mountaineers to Holden Caulield impersonators, Gyllenhaal is a person of methodical technique and dizzying range.
To have a good time his last role, we’re taking a take a look at his birth chart. Read on to find out more.
Double variables
Jake Gyllenhaal was born on December 19, 1980, meaning our man is in the Sagittarius stellium, together with his sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune in mutable fire sign. Gylenhaal’s moon, which governs attachment style, instincts, femininity, and security, is present in the good, slippery heart of the silver sign of Gemini.
In terms of astro combos, the moon in Gemini, the sun in Overhang is doubly mutable, imbuing Gyllenhaal with a bon vivant, here for a great time recently, social life, kissing children, conjuring old ladies, driving away driver energy.
Gyllenhaal also has a serious robber/crook vibe playing for laughs, humor as a social lubricant, and deadpan as a love language. Consider the time he claimed Benedict Cumberbatch was the heir to the Cabbage Patch fortune and ordered regular no bath needed. For further evidence see this compilation Gyllenhaal is an absolute agent of chaos and a servant of sarcasm for seven minutes in a row.
This scam business is enhanced by Mercury Gyllenhaal, the planet of the mind, along with Neptune, the planet of fantasy and illusion. This offers him a wealthy imagination and elvish presentation. It also suggests that he’s a little bit of a bull artist with a versatile attitude towards the truth and a bent to make use of humor to avoid direct questions, avoid confrontation and indicate mistakes in the game of fame.
The moon is moving
Gyllenhaal’s moon in Gemini opposes his Venus in Sagittarius, indicating discord or confusing messages between his desires and needs, perhaps a bent to idealize the object of affection, and a willingness to go away town once they prove mortal or stop laughing. Gyllenhaal admits his the first kiss took place in a bowling alleyperhaps setting the tone for the romantic trajectory of his young life.
Gyllenhaal’s moon in Gemini also trines with the restrictive daddy planet Saturn, giving him an emotional gravity that translates beautifully to his acting roles as he talks to a childhood sold too soon to the pressures of labor.
On a wave of growth, our boy has Jupiter, the planet of blessings and expansion, trine together with his moon in Gemini. That is real dumb luck, golden doodle aspect; wealth comes easy, friends make fast, and life at the dog park is a daydream. Herrings. Paul Newman taught him how you can drive, for God’s sake.
Pain as a reward
Archers like the feeling of going to extremes of their quest for meaning, and Gyllenhaal isn’t any exception. The dude goes hard to organize for his or her roles, including immersive research, starvation diets, MMA training, and serious beard cultivation. This dedication to the craft and willingness to go ahead and go further is enhanced by his Mars in Capricorn. Mars is our planet of will, drive and determination, and in Capricorn the struggle is elegant and success is just sweet when a bitter price has been paid. In business contacts and personal relationships, Mars in Capricorn could be demanding and exiled. He cuts fast and doesn’t look back.

T. Swift X Gyllenhaal –
Gyllenhaal has he dated many famous women including Kirsten Dunst, Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon. Although he has been together with his current partner, Aquarius model Jeanne Cadieu since 2018, the world won’t let him forget the winter of 2010 and the stunt he did on the red scarf and the hopeful heart of teenage T. Swift. And since, as I write this, Mercury retrograde, the height of curses and exes is approaching, we’ll take a take a look at the synastry between past flames.
Each Swift and Gyllenhaal are Sagittarius suns, and their mutual, shifting fire burned brightly but briefly, though Swift and her watery placements still dip the pen in the ashes of what was.
It’s an art, baby.
What brought these two together under the falling leaves and the autumn sky? Gyllenhaal was probably drawn to Swift’s performance in her dangling sun; this adventurous vitality and unwavering optimism. Like many dudes before him, he liked how she reflected his own brilliance.
Swift’s Venus in Aquarius was shaken by Gyllenhaal’s swashbuckling aww shucks, road trips and Sag schmaltz singing together, however it wasn’t a match made to outlast my friends. A cursory glance at Swift’s chart reveals that she is rather more than her floating archer archetype; it’s a deep feeling, hurting Cancer as the weapon of the Moon with revenge as the foreplay of Scorpio Mars and the rasp or death of the stellium to get to the top of Capricorn.
Take a look at more food astrology content on The Post:
Swift never explicitly named Gyllenhaal as an inspiration for her album Red, but she recreated the highs and lows of their relationship in an prolonged version of the song “All Too Well” and an accompanying fifteen-minute music short. Nothing subtle about this chick.
Archers like these two often use the truth tactlessly, concerned with providing facts reasonably than appeasing the feelings of others. This quick text “carelessly cruel in the name of being honest?” Shooter to tee or bowstring and applies to either side.
The respective moon signs of those two are present of their post-breakup behaviors. Swift, along with her spongy, malignant Cancer Moon, continues to attract from the well of that broken heart, while Gyllenhaal’s breezy past, past is past, intellectualizes any emotion Gemini Moon has completely obliterated. Asked by “Esquire Magazine”, on his role in “Red” and its remake after the re-release, Gyllenhaal clarified: “It has nothing to do with me. It’s about her relationship with the fans. That is her expression. Artists draw inspiration from personal experiences, and I do not regret it.” A way of being each irreverent and indulgent, my guy, Gemini’s true duality in the game.
That is when Gyllenhal goes all out even less about me and more about the moral imperative Sag the philosopher; “I believe in some unspecified time in the future it is vital when fans get unruly that we feel the responsibility to be polite and not allow cyberbullying on someone’s behalf. This begs a deeper philosophical query. Not about a selected person as such, but a couple of conversation that permits us to explore how we will – and even should – take responsibility for what we put into the world, for our contribution to the world. Tips on how to provoke a conversation?”
We provoke with a shawl, JG, with a SCARF.
Gyllenhaal and Jeanne Cadieu’s current flame are a tad more astrologically. The abundance of air in her chart bodes well for his or her long-term success. As Gyllenhaal continues to grow as a person and an artist, we wish him happiness, love, all types of beard oils and blessings, and mercy from Swifties eternally and ever amen.
