Cornelia Funke’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
10 December 1958 was a Wednesday: the day Cornelia Funke was born in Dorsten, Germany. That makes Cornelia a Sagittarius, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Cornelia turns 68 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Fire carries the most weight: six of the ten planets, against earth two, water two and air none. By modality the count is six mutable, four fixed and no cardinal. Sagittarius holds a stellium, five planets in one sign: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Saturn. Closest of the aspects is the conjunction between Sun and Mercury, about 0.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Four planets were retrograde: Mercury, Mars, Uranus 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.

Cornelia Funke’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 17° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Cornelia Funke 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 Cornelia, 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 Dorsten, Germany, at each hour of the day.
Cornelia Funke’s rising sign, by birth time

Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 10 December 1958, computed for Dorsten, Germany.

Cornelia Funke’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Cornelia Funke’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Cornelia Funke'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 Cornelia edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Cornelia's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Cornelia probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Cornelia may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Scorpio
19° Scorpio 44' 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 Cornelia, 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 Sagittarius builds discipline around belief and meaning, testing a big idea hard before committing to it. In front of people who might challenge a conviction, Cornelia is likely to hedge. Over time, someone with this Saturn often becomes a credible voice on the very questions they once felt they had no right to answer.
Uranus in Leo
16° Leo 12' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Cornelia shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
6° Scorpio 00' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Cornelia shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
4° Virgo 13' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Cornelia 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 Cornelia Funke’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 conjunction Mercury
about 0.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Cornelia Funke's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Mercury trine Uranus
about 0.9° at midday
Insight is likely to come to Cornelia fast and without much effort, the product of thinking and originality that flow together easily. With Mercury trine Uranus, new ideas tend to arrive when they are needed, often faster than they can be written down.
Mars square Uranus
about 1.0° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Cornelia as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Sun trine Uranus
about 1.7° at midday
Being original feels easy rather than effortful with this aspect, because Cornelia's sense of self and need for freedom sit comfortably together. They are likely to gravitate towards places that let them be exactly who they are without much friction.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 2.0° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Cornelia is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 2.5° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Cornelia's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Cornelia's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
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?
