Billy Wilder’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Billy Wilder was born in Sucha Beskidzka, Poland, on 22 June 1906, a Friday. The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer at about 10:04 local time that day, so the zodiac sign depends on the birth time: Gemini for a birth before then, Cancer after. The Moon left Gemini for Cancer at about 01:14 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Billy died on 27 March 2002, aged 95. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the eight planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in water signs, two in air, one in fire and one in earth. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, one and three. Three planets stand together in Cancer: Mercury, Mars and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Uranus: an opposition, about 0.3° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 22 June, among them Meryl Streep, Dan Brown and Lee Min-ho.

Billy Wilder’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 10:04, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:04: Sun in Gemini
A Gemini Sun connects. Ideas, people and conversations are its element, and Billy Wilder probably learns by talking things through. This placement is happiest with two projects and a question nobody has answered yet.
Born after about 10:04: Sun in Cancer
A Cancer Sun protects. For Billy, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 01:14, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 01:14: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Billy, talking, writing and switching perspective are likely ways to settle, and silence can make small worries loud. They probably need people who let them think out loud.
Born after about 01:14: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Billy that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
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 Sucha Beskidzka, Poland, at each hour of the day.
Billy Wilder’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Billy 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 22 June 1906, computed for Sucha Beskidzka, Poland.

The chart wheel
Drawn for midday on 22 June 1906, with only the aspects that held all day. The Moon may stand up to eight degrees either side of where it is drawn. The Sun is drawn at its midday place; it moved from Gemini into Cancer at about 10:04, so its sign depends on the birth time. How to read a chart wheel

Billy Wilder’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Billy Wilder’s private life.
Sun in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 10:04, then Cancer
purpose and vitality
Born before about 10:04: Sun in Gemini
For Billy Wilder, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.
Born after about 10:04: Sun in Cancer
With the Sun in Cancer, Billy is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
Moon in Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 01:14, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 01:14: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Billy is likely to settle by talking a worry through rather than sitting with it quietly. A day with no one to talk to can leave them restless. The habit is to message a friend the moment something comes to mind, before deciding what to think about it.
Born after about 01:14: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Billy's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Mercury in Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Billy probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Billy, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Billy, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Gemini
21° Gemini 31' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Billy may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Billy, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Capricorn
6° Capricorn 46' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Billy's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
9° Cancer 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Billy and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
22° Gemini 25' at midday
power, generational
Billy shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Billy Wilder’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.
Mars opposition Uranus
about 0.3° at midday
When Billy Wilder acts on their own terms, it can bring them up against people or systems that expect the usual process to be followed; this opposition lives in that clash. Rebellion chosen deliberately, moment by moment, tends to serve them better than a reaction to every restriction.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 0.4° at midday
Billy's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto
about 0.9° at midday
Jupiter conjunct Pluto describes growth that is intense and transformative, and Billy is likely to pursue opportunities that change their circumstances outright instead of merely improving them. Ambition comes with it, and the skill is pacing that intensity so that it builds and does not flare and fade.
Mars conjunction Neptune
about 2.7° at midday
Drive is idealistic and imaginative where Mars meets Neptune, and Billy is likely to act most powerfully in the service of something they believe in. The energy is inspired. What it wants is a big vision grounded in a plan specific enough to carry out.
Saturn trine Neptune
about 5.3° at midday
With Saturn trine Neptune, Billy's discipline and imagination steady each other, which makes it possible to build something both beautiful and structurally sound. Vision and follow-through tend to arrive together, a combination that is rare and worth trusting.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 5.6° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Billy's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
