David Grossman’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
David Grossman was born on Monday, 25 January 1954, in Jerusalem. The Sun was in Aquarius, so Aquarius is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Libra. David turns 72 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for David, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Of the ten planets, six are in air signs, three in water and one in fire; none is in earth. Fixed signs hold six, cardinal signs three and mutable signs one. Three planets stand together in Aquarius: Sun, Mercury and Venus. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Mars and Uranus, about 0.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 25 January, among them Vladimir Vysotsky, Noemi and Xavi.

David Grossman’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aquarius
about 4° Aquarius at midday
An Aquarius Sun sees differently. Ideas ahead of their time, a wide circle of friends and a stubborn streak of independence are the marks of this placement in David Grossman's chart. The growth is letting people close without feeling caged.
Moon sign
Libra
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle David, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 Jerusalem at each hour of the day.
David Grossman’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for David 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 25 January 1954, computed for Jerusalem.

David Grossman’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Grossman’s private life.
David Grossman's purpose, with the Sun in Aquarius, probably lies in being useful to a group or an idea bigger than themselves, with a vitality that rises around causes and communities. The tension can be detaching from their own needs while championing everyone else's. It is the placement of the reliable one at meetings who is the hardest person to reach one to one.
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off David's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
In David's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. David may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In David'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 Gemini
16° Gemini 50' 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. David 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 Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for David letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Cancer
20° Cancer 28' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Cancer belongs to an age group rather than to David alone. Its mark is a generation that redefines home and family, departing from the structures the previous generation grew up inside. At the personal level it is read as a pull to build family life differently.
Neptune in Libra
26° Libra 03' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, David among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
24° Leo 14' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for David, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in David Grossman’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 trine Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
David Grossman's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 1.1° at midday
Who David is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Mars square Pluto
about 3.0° at midday
With Mars square Pluto, David's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.
Mercury square Saturn
about 3.2° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what David is willing to say out loud.
Sun square Saturn
about 4.0° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When David pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Mercury trine Jupiter
about 4.7° at midday
David's thinking and sense of possibility reinforce each other, which gives them an easy, optimistic way of connecting ideas. Learning and explaining come naturally with Mercury trine Jupiter, and a good explanation of theirs tends to stay with people long after the conversation ends.
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?
