Born under a Pisces Sun and an Aquarius stellium that includes his Mercury, Bigi Jackson stayed almost completely out of view for 24 years. April 2026 ended that — and his chart explains why now.

Blanket Jackson — born Prince Michael Jackson II on February 21, 2002, and now publicly going by Bigi — turned 24 in February. For most of those 24 years, he stayed almost completely out of view. April 2026 ended that. TMZ reported on April 6 and 7 that he had quietly helped broker an agreement between the Michael Jackson estate executors and his sister Paris, who has since clashed with those same executors over its terms. The Berlin premiere of the new MJ biopic followed on April 10. A leadership story on April 28 sent his name back to the top of search. None of this is the chart of someone who wanted attention. All of it is the chart of someone whose 2026 sky was always going to demand it.
Three things converged in April 2026 to make Bigi Jackson — the youngest of Michael Jackson's three children — searchable again. First, the TMZ reports of April 6 and 7 alleged that he played a behind-the-scenes role brokering an agreement between the executors of the Michael Jackson estate and his older sister Paris, who has since publicly clashed with the same executors over how that agreement is being implemented. Second, the new Michael biopic had its Berlin premiere on April 10, pulling every Jackson sibling back into the press cycle whether they wanted to be there or not. Third, a leadership-themed story on April 28 — covering his quiet stewardship of the family's philanthropic interests — sent his name into trending search.
What's striking, astrologically, is that none of these storylines are the kind he tends to seek out. Bigi has lived an unusually private life for a Jackson, has rarely given interviews, and has mostly been visible at memorial events and small philanthropic appearances. The story that pulled him back into search was not a launch, not a film, not a fight he picked. It was a family situation that needed someone to step into it — and that is where the trade-off in his chart shows. The placements that make him good at brokering also make the visibility that comes with it harder than it would be for a more outward-facing sibling. The chart he was born with suits the role; the sky over April and May is sitting on top of the parts of that chart most likely to feel the cost.
Bigi was born with the Sun at 3° Pisces, joined by Venus at 12° of the same sign. Pisces is the most permeable of the signs — the one that absorbs atmosphere instead of broadcasting it, the one that prefers to be reached for rather than to reach. A Sun-Venus pair in Pisces tends to read as soft-spoken, aesthetically gentle, and quietly devoted to the people they love. It is not, by default, the chart of someone who courts a microphone.
There's a useful comparison in Kit Connor's Pisces Sun chart, where the same sensitivity reads as on-screen warmth, and in Jensen Ackles' Pisces stellium, where it reads as the actor who keeps his real life under wraps. Pisces takes whatever container it lands in. In Bigi's case, the container has always been the Jackson family — and Pisces in a family that famous tends to dissolve outward into caretaking rather than crystallize into self-promotion. The cost of that pattern, however, is that when the family situation gets loud, the Pisces person rarely has a built-in defense against the noise. They feel it more, not less.
The Sun also forms a trine — the easy-flow 120-degree angle that makes a placement feel supported rather than pressured — to Jupiter in Cancer. In sign-based reading, this is the chart of someone whose family is a source of luck and resources rather than a source of struggle, and whose emotional generosity tends to flow toward family members specifically. That isn't a moral statement. It's a structural one. It explains why he is the sibling most often described as the family glue, even by reporters who otherwise have very little to say about him.
He has three planets in Aquarius — Mercury at 6°, Neptune at 9°, and Uranus at 25°. A stellium is what astrologers call any cluster of three or more planets in a single sign; the more planets stacked there, the more that sign behaves like a primary operating system. An Aquarius stellium tends to produce people who think in systems rather than in feelings, who default to a slight emotional distance even with people they love, and who care about fairness in a structural sense — the rule of the thing — more than they care about who said what to whom.
The Mercury-Neptune conjunction inside that stellium — the two planets sitting within three degrees of each other — is the part most relevant to the current story. Mercury is how someone communicates and negotiates; Neptune softens, blurs, and at its best, intuits. Together in Aquarius, they read as a person who can hold a long conversation without fully showing his hand, who picks up on what's unspoken in a room, and who is unusually good at translating between people who can't currently hear each other. The trade-off is that the same combination leaves him exposed to misunderstanding. Mercury-Neptune people often feel they were perfectly clear; the people they were talking to remember it differently. If the reporting that Bigi quietly brokered an agreement is accurate, that is not a Pisces Sun talking — but it is also not a placement that reliably stays out of reinterpretation later.
Mercury also forms a trine to Saturn in Gemini, an aspect that adds quiet structural discipline to that softer communication style. He's not an off-the-cuff talker. He's the one who waits, considers, and then says the thing that lands.
Pisces and Aquarius are both signs that hesitate. Aries is the sign that doesn't. Bigi's Mars sits at 24° Aries — the planet of action in the sign it rules, undiluted, going first. That's a piece of chart most readers wouldn't expect to find in someone known for quietness, and it changes the whole picture. The Pisces Sun explains why he doesn't want the spotlight. The Aquarius stellium explains why he can hold complicated negotiations in his head. The Aries Mars explains why, when something needed doing on behalf of his late father's estate, he was the one who actually did it.
There's a useful contrast in Brooke Hogan's chart, another child of a famous father navigating a complicated legacy in 2026. Brooke's chart leans into Saturn-grief patterning; Bigi's leans into Aries-action patterning. Two very different ways the same situation — being the adult child handed a difficult inheritance — can express itself in the actual world.
Jupiter takes about twelve years to circle the zodiac, which means a person experiences a Jupiter return — when transit Jupiter comes back to its natal position — at roughly ages 12, 24, 36, and so on. Bigi turned 24 in February 2026, and transit Jupiter has been moving through Cancer since the summer of 2025. As of May 1, 2026, transit Jupiter sits at 19° Cancer, having already crossed his natal Jupiter at 5° Cancer earlier in the cycle. He is right inside his Jupiter return year.
Jupiter return years are usually framed as expansion years — opportunity, travel, recognition. With Jupiter in Cancer, that expansion tends to come through family, home, and questions of legacy rather than through outward conquest. The trade-off, though, is that his natal Jupiter is retrograde, which usually means that whatever Jupiter offers shows up as an internal reckoning before it shows up as an external win. The 2026 estate situation reads cleanly as a Jupiter-in-Cancer-return event: the family's external structure is being reorganized, and he's somewhere near the center of that reorganization, even when he isn't visible in it.
Of every transit currently active in his chart, this is the one to circle. Pluto — the slow-moving planet of power, transformation, and the things that get exhumed whether anyone wanted them to or not — entered Aquarius for the long haul in 2024. As of May 1, 2026, transit Pluto sits at 5° Aquarius, within a single degree of Bigi's natal Mercury at 6° Aquarius. A conjunction this tight, between transit Pluto and the natal Mercury of someone whose Mercury is doing the actual negotiating in a major estate matter, is not a coincidence in the editorial sense. It's a textbook setup.
Transit Pluto on the natal Mercury tends to manifest as a multi-year period in which a person's mind, voice, and negotiating style get rebuilt from the inside. Conversations carry more consequence than they used to. What used to be private ends up in the press. The person typically emerges with a different relationship to their own voice — more weight, more strategic patience, less appetite for performance. The cost, however, is that the rebuild is rarely gentle. Pluto transits tend to take whatever someone has quietly relied on and force a confrontation with it. For a person whose Mercury has been the family's diplomatic channel, the diplomatic channel itself is the thing being tested. That is the through-line of the April 2026 storyline — the same factor that explains why he's good at quiet brokering is the one a generational outer planet is sitting directly on top of.
We've written more about how this same Pluto position is operating in the wider sky in our piece on the Mercury-Pluto square of May 5, 2026. For Bigi, that wider transit isn't background music — it's a personal direct hit.
The North Node is the slower, symbolic point in the chart that astrologers read as the direction of growth — the role a person is being pulled toward, often whether or not they originally wanted it. As of May 1, 2026, the transiting North Node sits at 6° Pisces, three degrees off Bigi's natal Sun at 3° Pisces. That's a tight enough orb to count, and it is the second textbook transit happening in his chart this year.
North Node on the natal Sun is the classic transit of stepping forward into a public role that has been quietly preparing for years. It doesn't manifest as fame for fame's sake. It tends to manifest as visibility that finds you — through circumstance, family situation, or moral obligation — rather than visibility that you chase. Combined with the Pluto-Mercury hit, the picture is clean: a person whose chart is structurally suited to mediation is being asked, by both the slow planets and his actual circumstances, to mediate.
There's a third transit worth flagging because it sets up the next several years. Uranus — the planet of sudden disruption and identity change — ingressed into Gemini in 2025 and now sits at 0° Gemini. Bigi has Saturn at 8° Gemini, his Moon in Gemini around 18°, and the natal North Node at 24° Gemini. Over roughly the next four to five years, transit Uranus will walk across all three of those points in sequence. That is the chart of a multi-year identity wave — public role, emotional baseline, and life direction all getting reorganized one piece at a time.
What 2026 represents, then, is not the peak. It's the opening chapter. The Pluto and Node hits of this year are introducing him publicly. The Uranus walk through Gemini, beginning now and continuing into the late 2020s, is what will actually decide who he becomes. Pisces Suns tend to dread that kind of long, structural change. Aries Mars tends to be the part of them that, in the end, makes peace with it and moves.
A note on precision. Bigi Jackson's exact birth time isn't part of the public record, which means this analysis stays at the sign-and-degree level — the planets, their signs, and the transits hitting them. Any honest reading omits the rising sign and the house placements, because those depend on a verified birth time. Everything above is grounded in the date, year, and city of birth, which are reliably reported. The transits described are calculated for May 1, 2026; the pattern they form is the through-line of the spring's news cycle around the Jackson estate, not a forecast of how it ends.
Blanket Jackson — who now publicly goes by Bigi — was born on February 21, 2002, in La Mesa, California. That makes him a Pisces Sun at 3 degrees, with Venus also in Pisces at 12 degrees and a stellium of Mercury, Neptune, and Uranus all sitting in Aquarius.
TMZ reported on April 6 and 7, 2026 that Bigi quietly helped broker an agreement between the Michael Jackson estate executors and his sister Paris Jackson, who has since publicly clashed with those executors. The Berlin premiere of the Michael biopic on April 10 and an April 28 leadership-themed feature added to the search interest.
A stellium is any cluster of three or more planets in a single zodiac sign. An Aquarius stellium tends to amplify Aquarian traits — systems thinking, fairness in a structural sense, slight emotional distance, and a knack for handling complicated group situations. In Bigi's case, the stellium contains his Mercury, his communication and negotiation planet.
As of May 1, 2026, transit Pluto sits at 5 degrees Aquarius, within one degree of Bigi's natal Mercury at 6 degrees Aquarius. This conjunction is a multi-year transit that tends to rebuild a person's communication style, voice, and negotiating role from the inside, often by pulling private conversations into public consequence.
Yes, in a specific way. Without a verified birth time, this reading can speak to the planets in their signs and the transits hitting them, but cannot claim a rising sign or assign planets to specific houses. The sign-based interpretation above stays inside what the available date and location can actually support.
