Clarice Lispector’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
10 December 1920 was a Friday: the day Clarice Lispector was born in Chechelnyk, Ukraine. Their zodiac sign was Sagittarius, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Clarice died on 9 December 1977, aged 56. 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 fire, three earth, three water and one air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, three and five. Closest of the aspects is the square between Sun and Jupiter, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was new.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 10 December, among them Michael Clarke Duncan, Gonzalo Higuaín and Kenneth Branagh.

Clarice Lispector’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 18° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Clarice Lispector 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
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Clarice, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Chechelnyk, Ukraine, at each hour of the day.
Clarice Lispector’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Clarice 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 10 December 1920, computed for Chechelnyk, Ukraine.

Clarice Lispector’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Clarice Lispector’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Clarice Lispector'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.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Clarice edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
With Mercury in Scorpio, Clarice tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
For Clarice, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Clarice can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Virgo
17° Virgo 58' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Clarice, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Clarice may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Pisces
2° Pisces 06' at midday
freedom, generational
Clarice has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
13° Leo 36' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Clarice alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
8° Cancer 15' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Clarice to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Clarice Lispector’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.
Sun square Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Clarice Lispector may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 1.4° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Clarice'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.
Mercury square Uranus
about 3.2° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Clarice may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Venus trine Saturn
about 3.3° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Clarice, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Mars opposition Neptune
about 3.7° at midday
Clarice may find direct action pulling one way and, the other way, a tendency to lose momentum in doubt or in an unclear picture of what is wanted. Getting specific about the goal, even roughly, tends to restore the energy that vagueness drains.
Sun trine Neptune
about 4.5° at midday
Clarice's identity and imagination flow together easily, giving them an intuitive, artistic quality that feels natural rather than performed. With the Sun trine Neptune, compassion comes without much effort, and other people often sense it before a word has been said.
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.

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?
