Daphne du Maurier’s birth chart

Daphne du Maurier's full reading

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

1. ☉Sun in Taurus

   ♉ 21° Taurus 34'

   purpose and vitality

   They find purpose in building something that lasts, and their vitality runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The tension is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. It shows up in how long they stay at one job or one home before they will admit it is time to move.

2. ☽Moon in Gemini

   ♊ 4° Gemini 12'

   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 Taurus

   ♉ 9° Taurus 10'

   mind and voice

   They think slowly and thoroughly, and once they have reached a conclusion they rarely revisit it without good reason. Their communication is plain and practical rather than showy. The tension is taking a while to consider a new idea that clashes with what they already believe.

4. ♀Venus in Aries

   ♈ 19° Aries 03'

   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 Capricorn

   ♑ 15° Capricorn 55'

   drive and anger

   They act with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most people around they, and their anger is controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tension is going quiet and distant instead of saying what is actually wrong. It shows up as outworking a frustration rather than voicing it.

6. ♃Jupiter in Cancer

   ♋ 9° Cancer 07'

   growth and excess

   They grow through nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The overreach is overprotecting the people they love past the point they need it. It shows up as generosity that shows up as home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

7. ♄Saturn in Pisces

   ♓ 24° Pisces 50'

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around boundaries, often after an early habit of taking on more feeling than was ever theirs to carry. The doubt shows up as guilt for protecting their own time and energy. It shows up as a quiet, mature compassion that arrives once they learn that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.

8. ♅Uranus in Capricorn

   ♑ 12° Capricorn 26' ℞

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and authority structures. Personally, it can show up as scepticism toward systems that ask for trust without having earned it.

9. ♆Neptune in Cancer

   ♋ 10° Cancer 34'

   imagination, generational

   Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who idealise home and family, often carrying a wider cultural nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never have quite existed. Personally, it can show up as a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.

10. ♇Pluto in Gemini

    ♊ 22° Gemini 30'

    power, generational

    Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation that transforms communication and collective thought itself, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. Personally, it can show up as an intense relationship with what counts as truth.

Aspects

How the planets in Daphne du Maurier's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Mercury sextile Jupiter

   0.1° separating

   Their thinking and their optimism cooperate easily, giving their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity tends to serve they well without much extra effort, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.

2. Mercury sextile Neptune

   1.4° applying

   Their thinking and their imagination cooperate gently, giving they easy access to creative and intuitive ideas. This is soft, pleasant inventiveness rather than hard analysis, useful for softening a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.

3. Jupiter conjunction Neptune

   1.5° applying

   Their sense of growth is idealistic and compassionate, and Daphne is drawn toward causes, faiths or visions bigger than their daily concerns. This gives they real inspiration, and the edge is checking a beautiful idea against what is actually achievable.

4. Uranus opposition Neptune

   1.9° applying

   Shared by everyone born in this span, this placement marks a generation split between breaking from the past and missing it. Personally, it can show up as chasing new ideas while still trusting old ones.
