Anna Gavalda’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Anna Gavalda was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, France, on 9 December 1970, a Wednesday. Their zodiac sign is Sagittarius. The Moon left Aries for Taurus at about 05:25 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Anna turns 56 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three earth, three water, two fire and one air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. Scorpio holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Venus, Mars and Jupiter. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Neptune and Pluto: a sextile, about 1.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 9 December, among them Kirk Douglas, Judi Dench and John Malkovich. Djalminha was born on the very same day.

Anna Gavalda’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 16° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Anna Gavalda forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 05:25, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 05:25: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Anna is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Born after about 05:25: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore Anna, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Boulogne-Billancourt, France, at each hour of the day.
Anna Gavalda’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Anna yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 9 December 1970, computed for Boulogne-Billancourt, France.

Anna Gavalda’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Anna Gavalda’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Anna Gavalda's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

Aries until about 05:25, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 05:25: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Anna, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Born after about 05:25: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles Anna more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Anna tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Anna will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Anna is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
In Anna's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Scorpio
23° Scorpio 02' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Anna, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Anna is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Libra
12° Libra 49' at midday
freedom, generational
Anna holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 12' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Anna in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Virgo
29° Virgo 33' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Anna and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Anna Gavalda’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 3.6° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Anna Gavalda's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 4.1° at midday
There is room for Anna to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
Mercury square Uranus
about 5.3° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Anna may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Venus opposition Saturn
about 5.9° at midday
The pull in this aspect is between wanting closeness and a wariness that keeps testing whether it will last. For Anna, letting someone prove themselves gradually, instead of doubting them from the outset, tends to build security sooner than suspicion does.
Jupiter opposition Saturn
about 6.0° at midday
Anna is likely to feel two instincts at once: to expand into new opportunities, and to consolidate what is already in hand. Neither is wrong, and with Jupiter opposite Saturn a deliberate alternation between them tends to work better than treating it as a permanent choice.
One more aspect, listed without a reading. It is between two of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, whose aspects hold for years at a time, so everyone born while it holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
