Jenna Ortega was born on September 27, 2002, with the Sun at about 4–5° Libra. Emma Myers was born on April 2, 2002, with the Sun at about 12–13° Aries. On screen they play Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. Off screen they're two actors with two ordinary birth dates. A Libra actor playing Wednesday is a reminder that a Sun sign isn't a casting brief.
The news, and where it stops
Netflix's Tudum ran the headline "Wednesday Season 3 Wraps Production" (retrieved October 5, 2026). That's the news. We're not guessing a premiere date, and nothing below explains a casting decision or a performance. The rest is a symbolic reading of two calculated charts.
The birth records
| | Jenna Ortega | Emma Myers | |---|---|---| | Born | September 27, 2002 | April 2, 2002 | | Place | Rancho Mirage, California (our profile lists neighbouring Palm Desert) | Orlando, Florida | | Source | Wikipedia | Wikipedia, Wikidata | | Clock used | none | none on record | | Sun | about 4–5° Libra | about 12–13° Aries | | Moon | Gemini all day (about 6–19°) | Sagittarius all day (about 13–26°) |
Both charts are treated as date-only. A time is stored for Jenna, but it wasn't independently checked for this article, so it isn't used. Each birthday was sampled every hour, plus 23:59, in its local time zone with Lunara's central Swiss Ephemeris engine. Only placements that hold all day count. So there's no Rising sign and no houses, and the Moons give a sign but no usable degree.
One useful result: none of their personal planets changes sign on either birthday. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars each stay put from midnight to midnight.
Distinction 1: opposite Sun signs, not an opposition
Libra and Aries sit across the zodiac from each other, so the shorthand says "opposites". The degrees say something narrower. Jenna's Sun is at 4–5° Libra and Emma's at 12–13° Aries, so they're 7–9° short of an exact opposition. Most astrologers wouldn't count that as an aspect between two Suns at all.
The sign pair is still worth reading as a contrast. Libra is read as weighing, poise and attention to the other person. Aries is read as directness and going first. That's a difference in symbolic emphasis, not a personality verdict on either actor, and not a clue to their roles.
Distinction 2: Moon signs that are firm without a clock
Moon signs usually fall apart without a birth time, because the Moon moves about 12–15° a day. Here both hold. Jenna's Moon stays in Gemini all day, Emma's in Sagittarius. Again they're opposite signs, and again the shorthand overreaches. Without a clock neither Moon has a fixed degree, so no aspect between them can be claimed.
Gemini Moons are read as processing feelings through talk and quick shifts of attention. Sagittarius Moons are read as needing room, movement and a bigger picture. Jenna's profile reading goes further with her own chart; this article stays with the comparison.
Distinction 3: two different Venuses
Jenna's Venus is at about 12–13° Scorpio, with Mars at 18–19° Virgo. Emma's Venus is at about 1–2° Taurus, with Mars at 22–23° Taurus. Scorpio and Taurus are opposite signs too, and the Venuses sit 10–12° short of exact.
What's specific is Emma's pairing: both Venus and Mars in Taurus, which is Venus's own sign. That's traditionally read as steady, sensory taste and patient effort. Jenna's Scorpio Venus is read as a pull toward depth and intensity.
The one tight angle
If you want real geometry rather than sign pairs, the tightest contact that holds all day is a 150° angle, a quincunx. It falls between Jenna's Venus and Emma's Sun, within about a degree. It's an awkward angle, read as adjustment. It isn't a friendship reading, a compatibility score or a story about the set.
Your own chart, without a birth time
Here's the question worth asking of your own chart: which of your placements stay in one sign all day, and which depend on an hour you don't know? The free natal chart calculator shows your Sun, Moon and Venus, and flags a Moon that changes sign on your birthday. If you'd like the whole chart explained, there's an optional paid personal birth chart reading. What's included and the price are shown before you buy.

Calculation notes
Positions are tropical and geocentric, from Lunara's central Swiss Ephemeris path. They were sampled hourly plus 23:59 for September 27, 2002 (America/Los_Angeles) and April 2, 2002 (America/New_York), and ranges cover each whole civil day. Dates and places come from the linked Wikipedia articles and Wikidata, accessed October 5, 2026. Neither source gives a birth time, and we haven't seen a birth record for either actor. Nothing here implies that either actor or Netflix endorses this analysis.
