Aki Kaurismäki’s birth chart

Aki Kaurismäki's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aries

   ♈ 14° Aries 22'

   purpose and vitality

   Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.

2. ☽Moon in Gemini

   ♊ 1° Gemini 21'

   needs and habits

   Their daily habits run on conversation and mental stimulation, and they settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. The tension is restlessness when a day has no one to talk to. It shows up as texting a friend the moment something is on their mind, before they have even decided what they think about it.

3. ☿Mercury in Aries

   ♈ 28° Aries 58'

   mind and voice

   They think in quick, decisive strokes and say what they mean without much preamble. The tension is speaking before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It shows up as finishing other people's sentences and preferring a fast decision to a long meeting.

4. ♀Venus in Aries

   ♈ 11° Aries 45'

   love and values

   They love with immediacy and pursue what they want without much hesitation, and they value a partner who can keep up. The tension is losing interest once the chase is over. It shows up as falling for someone fast and needing the relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.

5. ♂Mars in Gemini

   ♊ 11° Gemini 00'

   drive and anger

   They act through words, argument and quick maneuvering rather than force, and their anger tends to come out sharp and verbal. The tension is winning a point without actually resolving the conflict underneath it. It shows up as debating their way through a disagreement long after the other person just wants it to end.

6. ♃Jupiter in Virgo

   ♍ 24° Virgo 40' ℞

   growth and excess

   They grow through mastering a craft in genuine, unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. The overreach is perfectionism that turns growth into an endless list of corrections. It shows up as being trusted with more responsibility than they think they have earned, largely because they actually have.

7. ♄Saturn in Sagittarius

   ♐ 14° Sagittarius 11' ℞

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

8. ♅Uranus in Leo

   ♌ 2° Leo 52' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who redefine self-expression and individuality, often through new forms of creativity and visibility unavailable to earlier generations. Personally, it can show up as comfort being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.

9. ♆Neptune in Scorpio

   ♏ 1° Scorpio 41' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people whose collective imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, often through a wider cultural fascination with secrets and endings. Personally, it can show up as being pulled toward mystery for its own sake.

10. ♇Pluto in Leo

    ♌ 28° Leo 13' ℞

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. Personally, it can show up as a charged relationship with authority and who gets to hold the spotlight.

Aspects

How the planets in Aki Kaurismäki's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Sun trine Saturn

   0.2° separating

   Their sense of self and their capacity for discipline reinforce each other, so effort and identity feel like the same project. They build things that last because their ambition and their patience are already in agreement.

2. Venus sextile Mars

   0.7° separating

   Their affections and their drive cooperate, making it easy to pursue what they like without much internal conflict. This is a pleasant, workable kind of confidence that serves they especially well in the early stages of anything new.

3. Mercury trine Pluto

   0.8° separating

   Their thinking and their depth support each other, giving they a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. Research and difficult conversations both come easily to they, more so than people who have not seen what they have already worked through.

4. Uranus square Neptune

   1.2° separating

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks friction between the drive for change and collective ideals. Personally, it can show up as impatience with ideas that sound good but are not yet real.
