Lewis played over 250 engagements a year until 1981 when he was hospitalized with stomach problems. After 1986 he did mostly club work.

He was also a member of the inaugural class inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2022. In 1989, his life was chronicled in the movie Great Balls of Fire, starring Dennis Quaid. Lewis married seven times, divorced four times and was widowed twice. He had six children. He went through a period of bad publicity when he married his 13-year-old cousin, Myra Gale Brown, his third wife, whom he divorced in 1970. He took his sixth wife, Kerrie, in 1984 and they had a son, Jerry Lee Lewis III, born in 1987. On 15 June 2005, their divorce was finalized in Hernando, Mississippi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about this profile's Vedic astrology, birth chart, and numerology — answered by our astrologers.

What does Lewis JerryLee's birth chart reveal about his core personality and greatest strengths?

Lewis JerryLee's chart shows a Libra Moon paired with a Virgo Vedic Sun, blending artistic sensitivity with precise, detail-driven energy. His Capricorn ascendant adds iron discipline and relentless ambition, explaining how he launched a legendary music career before age sixteen. These combined energies paint a portrait of a driven, charismatic performer whose creative instincts and sheer tenacity made him one of rock and roll's most enduring figures.

How does Lewis JerryLee's Capricorn rising shape the way the world has always perceived him?

Lewis JerryLee's Capricorn lagna gives him a commanding, serious outer presence that projects authority and resilience. Ruled by Saturn, this ascendant bestows an almost stoic public image even amid personal controversy, helping him rebuild his career multiple times after setbacks. It also inclines toward self-employment and long professional endurance, which aligns perfectly with his decades-long run as an independent force in American music and entertainment.

Why has Lewis JerryLee's love life been so turbulent, and what does his chart say about relationships and marriage?

Lewis JerryLee married seven times, a pattern astrology traces to his Libra Moon, which craves deep partnership yet can idealize romance to an extreme. Venus-ruled Libra in the Moon position intensifies emotional needs, while the Saturn-ruled Capricorn ascendant can create a certain emotional distance that strains bonds. The chart suggests relationships are both a profound source of meaning and a recurring arena of challenge, loss, and reinvention throughout his life.

Which Western zodiac sun sign does Lewis JerryLee belong to, and how does it reflect his artistic identity?

Lewis JerryLee is a Libra by Western tropical astrology, born on September 29, 1935. Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of art, beauty, and performance, which aligns beautifully with his Grammy-winning, Hall of Fame music career. Libra's love of harmony and flair for showmanship helped shape his iconic piano style, and the sign's innate sense of balance allowed him to blend gospel roots with the raw energy of early rock and roll.

Is Lewis JerryLee a Life Path 11, and how does that master number reflect his legendary status?

Yes, Lewis JerryLee carries Life Path number 11, a master number in numerology associated with heightened intuition, visionary creative power, and an almost electric personal magnetism. Elevens are born to inspire and illuminate, which maps directly onto his role as a founding architect of rock and roll. The same intensity that fuels an 11's genius can also generate personal turbulence, and his life story of soaring achievement alongside deep personal trials reflects that dual nature precisely.

Where and on what date was Lewis JerryLee born, and how does his birthplace connect to his musical legacy?

Lewis JerryLee was born on September 29, 1935, in Ferriday, Louisiana, United States. Ferriday sits deep in the American South, a region steeped in gospel, blues, and country music that formed the very soil from which rock and roll grew. His Virgo Vedic Sun and Libra Moon absorbed that rich cultural environment from birth, and astrology sees the Southern roots as a foundational influence that gave his music its raw, soulful, and deeply spiritual character.
