We all watch football for the plot. For some, the “plot” may be the actual game. For others, maybe Joe Burrow (swoon) is the plot. For me, I’d say that Jalen Hurts, the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, is the reason I watch football. Not just because I’m thirsting over the man, but because his birth chart commands attention. Seriously, this guy’s success was written in the stars.
ICYMI, Jalen Hurts is a big deal in the sports world. As the Eagles’ quarterback, Hurts led the team to compete in the 2023 Super Bowl LVII. But aside from that, Hurts is rising to fame on TikTok… through thirsty edits, OFC. Some of the most popular edits on the app have hundreds and thousands of views, and that comes as no surprise to the astro girlies in the room.
If you’re curious about this football star’s natal chart, then search no more. Here’s the 4-1-1 on Hurts’ birth chart and what his placements mean.
Jalen Hurts is a Leo.
Remember what I said about attention? Well, Hurts was essentially born to be a star. With his sun in the fire sign Leo, Hurts embodies some of the key traits of a Leo: leadership, passion, and that unmatchable competitive edge. Born on Aug. 7, Hurts was born right in the thick of Leo season, which takes place between July 23 and Aug. 22.
As a quarterback, Hurts is the team’s leader on the field. This is totally in line with the typical Leo characteristics: Leos are known to be very passionate leaders that thrive under pressure and face challenges head-on.
His Moon is in Aquarius.
Hurts’ Leo sun is balanced perfectly with this Aquarius moon. Typically, Aquarius moons are known for being very intelligent and individualistic. Additionally, Aquarius moons are very much in tune with their creative and spiritual side. If you’re wondering if this sounds like Hurts, it’s definitely a fit.
Hurts is very in touch with his spirituality, and often talks about his love for gratitude journaling. In an interview with GQ, Hurts listed his Daily Devotional and The Five Minute Journal as two things he can’t live without. “I always write down the things that I’m grateful for,” Hurts says in the interview. “Dedicate some time to giving gratitude to where I am, where I’ve come, and who’s come with me.” Honestly, textbook Aquarius moon right here.
His mercury is in Leo.
The fire sign energy is strong, here! Mercury is the planet of communication, and nothing screams “leader” louder than a Leo in this placement. Leo mercuries are known for their strong presence and ability to captivate and audience. Additionally, this makes them fantastic leaders — they have a voice you can listen to and a conviction you can follow.
His Venus is in cancer.
Beneath that tough, football exterior, hurts definitely has a soft side. A Cancer Venus loves and loves hard. In both relationships and friendships, people with this placement are known for their loyalty and sensitivity. They crave real connections and look for relationships that make them feel secure and affirmed. So, it makes total sense that Hurts has been with his girlfriend, Bry Burrows, since the college years: he’s a romantic!
His Mars is in Cancer.
Finally, Hurts’s Mars is in the water sign of Cancer. People with this placement are typically known to be protective, kind, and caring. They can also appear to be quite quiet and reserved, which definitely matches up with his shy and humble demeanor.
Leo’s most compatible signs:
Now… for the moment you’ve been waiting for: who is most compatible with Jalen Hurts — I mean — Leos?
First things first, Hurts’ girlfriend, Bry Burrows, is a Sagittarius. As a fire sign himself, this is a match made in heaven: Leos work well with the other signs in their element such as Aries and Sagittarius.
Additionally, Geminis and Tauruses also are a great match for a Leo. These signs are known to challenge Leo, as well as keep them grounded and focused on their goals. To my fellow Pisces, our love with Hurts isn’t exactly written in the stars. But, a girl can dream!
