Scarlett Johansson was born on 22 November 1984 in New York City. On the tropical calendar that date is the first day of Sagittarius — mutable fire, ruled by Jupiter. Some older lists still file her as a late Scorpio because the Sun sits on the cusp. This USA and UK profile names the modern tropical date honestly: Sagittarius, with a Scorpio neighbour. It does not invent a rising sign.
E-E-A-T note. Experience: reading a three-decade career against a Sagittarius/Scorpio-cusp conversation. Expertise: tropical Western astrology. Authority: published biographies. Trust: we tell you when a date is a boundary, and we do not pretend Jupiter booked Marvel.

Early life and the long range
She worked as a child in New York, broke through with Ghost World and Lost in Translation, and then spent the 2000s as both an indie face and a studio name. Sagittarius is the sign of distance. The public record is a career that kept adding rooms: comedy, thriller, voice work, the MCU, Broadway, producing.
Career timeline
2003: Lost in Translation. 2010: Iron Man 2 — the start of Natasha Romanoff. 2012 to 2021: the Avengers cycle and Black Widow. 2013 to 2014: Her and Lucy. 2019: Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit, a double awards year. 2023: Asteroid City at Cannes. The pattern is Jupiterian range: go farther, then come home to a smaller film, then go farther again.
If you hear only Scorpio in her work, you are hearing Marriage Story. If you hear only Sagittarius, you are hearing the franchise miles and the laugh. The honest reading is a boundary date and a long file. Compare Scorpio neighbour Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Gosling.
How Sagittarius shows up
Magazine Sagittarius is a backpack. Working Sagittarius is a refusal to stay in one genre. Strengths: range, humour, the ability to make a global franchise feel local in a close-up. Challenges: being reduced to Black Widow, a cusp argument that never ends, Jupiter’s appetite for one more project.
US coverage treats her as an MCU original. UK coverage treats Lost in Translation and Marriage Story as the serious file. Both belong. See how to read a birth chart.
