On June 24, 2026, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley married Zack Carpinello in front of fifty friends who showed up thinking they were attending a private screening for her upcoming film Nanny Cam. The invitations were movie-themed. There was a red carpet. The cover story held for months — guests had no idea they were at a wedding until the couple revealed it from the altar. The surprise is the story; the synastry is the explanation. A Jersey Shore icon with Venus and Mars fused at a single degree of Aries marries a pro wrestler with a late-Sagittarius Sun on a day when transit Venus in Leo was lighting up her natal love-desire fusion point. The charts back the chemistry. Whether they also back the long haul is the question worth asking.
What Just Happened
The wedding landed at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey, with Snooki among the guests, who later posted an Instagram of the two of them hugging in front of the ceremony backdrop. JWoww walked to Lana Del Rey's Young and Beautiful — the same song Snooki used at her own first dance, an inside-joke detail you don't include unless the friendship matters more than the spotlight. Zack came in to David Arnold's The Name's Bond...James Bond, which is exactly the kind of bit a man with a pro-wrestling theatrical instinct chooses. The proposal happened five years ago at the Empire State Building. The wedding waited until they were ready, and then arrived all at once.
JWoww's Chart: Love and Desire at the Same Degree
The signature of JWoww's chart is impossible to miss once you see it. Her natal Venus sits at 18° Aries; her Mars at 18° Aries. That's four arc-minutes apart, which is as close as two planets can sit without literally overlapping. This is the rarest kind of conjunction (a conjunction is two planets occupying the same degree, fusing into a single force). Venus rules attraction. Mars rules desire. When they meet at the same point of the chart, the wiring doesn't separate wanting from doing. There is no gap between feeling drawn to someone and acting on it. The behaviors that look impulsive to other people are not impulsive to her: the impulse and the action are one piece. Then comes the third planet. Mean Lilith, the black-moon point that names what a person refuses to apologize for, sits less than a degree from both.
This Aries triple-stack is what makes the chemistry believable. It also explains why anyone trying to build something durable with this chart has to learn the difference between the spark and the structure. Aries Venus doesn't slow-burn. Aries Mars doesn't wait. The pattern that fits is the woman who knows within a week whether someone is in or out, who throws herself in completely, who finds the ramp-up phase most relationships require to be roughly the worst thing in the world. This is not a chart that hedges. It costs her the soft middle gear that careful couples coast on. Whatever they build, they have to build with the engine on.
The Pisces Sun, the Gemini Moon
JWoww's Sun sits at 9° Pisces, calculated from her birth date with Swiss Ephemeris and shown directly in her chart. Pisces is Jupiter-ruled water, the sign of permeability, the one that absorbs the room it walks into. It forms a square (a tension aspect at 90 degrees between two planets that don't share an element) to her Moon at 5° Gemini. The Sun-Moon square is one of the chart's harder pieces. The Pisces Sun wants depth, immersion, the kind of intimacy that has no edges. The Gemini Moon needs the opposite: variety, conversation, freedom to change its mind hourly about how it feels. These two parts of her are not aligned. The Pisces wants to dissolve into love; the Gemini wants to text a friend about a totally different topic ten minutes later. This is the woman a reality show wanted on camera: emotionally available and never bored.

Zack Carpinello's Late Sagittarius Sun
Zack Carpinello was born December 20, 1994, which puts his Sun in late Sagittarius, sitting within roughly a degree of the cusp of Capricorn. The placement on its own tells you a lot. Sagittarius is fire-mutable, the sign of the philosopher-athlete: the body in motion, the mind tracking the bigger frame, the temperament that needs forward momentum to feel alive. He is a professional wrestler. The fit is not subtle. Late-degree Sagittarius runs darker and more structured than the freewheeling stereotype suggests, and because Zack's Sun sits within striking distance of the Capricorn cusp, there's a tightening underneath the Sagittarian openness. He plays a sport that is more disciplined than it looks.
What Zack's chart costs JWoww, in the most generic Sagittarius sense, is the option to make him stay still. Sagittarius does not nest. It does not stop wanting to go somewhere next. Pair that with Aries Venus-Mars, which fundamentally agrees that staying still is for other people, and you get a couple whose stability cannot come from inertia. It has to come from chosen, repeated motion in the same direction. That is harder than it sounds. Most long-term relationships rely on a baseline of low-energy default; this pairing does not have that to draw on. The work for them is to build a marriage that holds at speed, not in stillness.
Where the Charts Meet
The synastry (the technique of laying two charts on top of each other to read the cross-aspects) does what you'd expect from a fire-meets-fire pairing of this shape. JWoww's Aries Venus-Mars sits in the same fire-sign triangle as Zack's Sagittarius Sun: same element, different mode. That's the easy current. They recognize each other's wiring on contact. The friction, the part that keeps a fire-sign couple from going flat after the honeymoon, comes from the Sun-to-Sun contact. Her Pisces Sun and his Sagittarius Sun are in sign-square to each other, both ruled by Jupiter but in fundamentally different modes — water-mutable versus fire-mutable, dissolution versus expansion. The shared ruler is the affinity. The square is the productive friction. They speak the same language with different grammar.
The detail worth flagging in JWoww's chart is her Uranus at 17° Sagittarius. Uranus is the planet of disruption, sudden insight, the part of the chart that resists being domesticated. It's at her Uranus that the cross-chart contact gets more interesting. Zack's Sun in late Sagittarius sits in the same sign as her Uranus, and that's the placement that explains why he didn't feel like a settling-down choice to her, even though that's exactly what the marriage represents. He activates the part of her chart that was built to be unconventional. He doesn't ask her to be smaller. He asks her to be louder, faster, and more publicly herself. For a woman with this chart, that is the only version of partnership that holds.
What the Wedding Day Was Saying
The transits over JWoww's chart on June 24 read like a chart engine making a single argument. Venus in Leo at 16° formed a trine (the 120-degree easy-flow angle that lets a planetary energy land without friction) to her natal Venus-Mars in Aries 18°. Transit Venus blessing the natal love-desire fusion point on the wedding day is not subtle. Leo Venus is the sign that knows how to perform love as a public event, which is exactly what hiding a wedding behind a movie screening turns out to be. The Leo Venus didn't want a courthouse. It wanted a red carpet. It also wanted a confession at the end, a reveal scene, the audience finding out at the same moment. That is the day this transit makes.
Behind the Venus there's a slower, heavier transit doing the structural work. Transit Saturn is moving through Aries at 14° and applying toward JWoww's natal Venus-Mars at 18°. Saturn is the planet of commitment, structure, and the willingness to formalize what already exists. When Saturn enters the territory of someone's Venus-Mars conjunction, the chart describes a translation: the impulse becomes the institution. The wanting becomes the vow. It is not coincidence that the wedding landed during this approach rather than before it. The pattern suggests she got engaged in 2021, when this Saturn transit was nowhere near the territory, and waited five years to actually marry. The wedding arrived when Saturn was finally in range of the natal fire she was working with.
Jupiter's late-Cancer arc through 2026 has been the most consequential transit of the year for water and earth signs alike, and on the wedding day Jupiter in Cancer at 29° was inside a tight 1.4-degree trine to JWoww's natal Saturn in Scorpio 28°. Jupiter expands what it touches. When it makes a flowing aspect to Saturn, the meaning is concrete: the structures you've already built get bigger, more legitimate, more publicly recognized. She married him on the day Jupiter was telling her chart's Saturn that what she had built was ready to be expanded. The wedding chart was unusually well-supported.
What Their Marriage Will Cost
None of this means it's easy. Aries Venus-Mars asks for newness; long marriages require routine. Sagittarius Sun asks for motion; family logistics require staying put. The Pisces-Sagittarius square between their Suns will surface whenever she wants to dissolve into the relationship and he wants to leave the house. The Gemini Moon she carries will need outside conversation, outside stimulation, outside friends, and a partner who does not interpret that need as withdrawal. The Aries triple-stack will get bored before it gets sad. The pattern that protects this marriage is the one that builds in regular reinvention: new projects, new countries, new shared bets that activate the fire-sign machinery instead of asking it to settle. The couple that thrives on this chart pairing is the couple that keeps moving.
What the wedding itself signaled is that they understand this about themselves. The choice to hide the ceremony inside a movie screening, to invite their friends under false pretenses, to build a red carpet and a reveal scene: that is the Aries Venus solution to the problem of formalizing love. They didn't have a traditional engagement-to-wedding arc. They had a surprise. The surprise is not an outlier in their relationship. It is the chart's stated style. If this marriage works, it will work because they keep using the surprise as a renewal device, not as a one-time stunt but as the muscle memory of how they choose each other. The chart engine, on the day they chose, was unambiguously rooting for them.

When did JWoww and Zack Carpinello get married?
Jenni 'JWoww' Farley and Zack Carpinello married on June 24, 2026, at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, New Jersey. Approximately fifty guests arrived believing they were attending a private screening of JWoww's film Nanny Cam. The couple kept the cover story going until they revealed the wedding from the altar.
What is JWoww's zodiac sign?
Jenni 'JWoww' Farley is a Pisces, with her Sun at 9° of the sign. She also carries a Gemini Moon, Aries Venus, and Aries Mars, with Venus and Mars in an exact conjunction at 18° Aries. That triple-stacked Aries placement is the defining signature of her chart and the engine behind her fast, all-in approach to love.
What does Venus conjunct Mars in Aries mean in astrology?
Venus conjunct Mars in Aries is a chart placement where the planet of attraction and the planet of desire sit at the same degree of a fast, direct fire sign. Behaviorally it tends toward immediate action on attraction, low patience for slow courtship, and almost no separation between wanting and doing. It is one of the most decisive love signatures in astrology.
Are Pisces and Sagittarius compatible in a marriage?
Pisces and Sagittarius share the same traditional ruler, Jupiter, but operate in different elements: water-mutable versus fire-mutable. The shared ruler creates affinity around growth, meaning, and big-picture optimism, while the elemental contrast creates productive friction. Successful long-term pairings tend to build in motion: travel, projects, and shared bets that channel Sagittarian momentum without overwhelming Piscean depth.
How long were JWoww and Zack Carpinello together before getting married?
JWoww and Zack Carpinello first went public as a couple in 2019. Zack proposed at the Empire State Building in February 2021. They married on June 24, 2026, roughly seven years after the public relationship began and over five years after the engagement, with the wedding kept secret from guests until the on-altar reveal.
