David O. Selznick’s birth chart
Born 10 May 1902, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Gemini or Cancer
David O. Selznick’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
10 May 1902 was a Saturday: the day David O. Selznick was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Gemini until about 15:15 and in Cancer afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. They died on 22 June 1965, aged 63. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, four are in air signs, three in earth and two in fire; none is in water. By modality the count is four mutable, three fixed and two cardinal. Three planets stand together in Gemini: Mercury, Neptune and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Mercury sextile Venus, about 1.2° 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: Saturn and Uranus. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 14 other people born on 10 May, among them Bono, Dennis Bergkamp and Sid Vicious. Wikidata links them with one person in the dataset: Jennifer Jones (married in 1949, marriage ended in 1965).

David O. Selznick’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 19° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to David O. Selznick than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Gemini or Cancer
Gemini until about 15:15, then Cancer (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 15:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For David O. Selznick, 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 15:15: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For David O. Selznick 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 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, at each hour of the day.
David O. Selznick’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for David O. Selznick 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 May 1902, computed for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

David O. Selznick’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David O. Selznick’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and David O. Selznick's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.

Gemini until about 15:15, then Cancer
needs and habits
Born before about 15:15: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and David O. Selznick 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 15:15: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, David O. Selznick'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.
David O. Selznick's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For David O. Selznick that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
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 David O. Selznick 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 Aquarius
16° Aquarius 09' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. David O. Selznick may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for David O. Selznick, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Sagittarius
20° Sagittarius 29' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about David O. Selznick than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Gemini
29° Gemini 39' at midday
imagination, generational
The dream of Neptune in Gemini is a collective one, shared across roughly fourteen years of births. The imagination of David O. Selznick's generation is shaped by information moving faster than anyone can fully verify. Its personal form is finding it hard to tell a compelling story apart from a true one.
Pluto in Gemini
17° Gemini 29' at midday
power, generational
David O. Selznick 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 David O. Selznick’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.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 1.2° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in David O. Selznick'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.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 1.3° at midday
In this trine, David O. Selznick's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Sun square Jupiter
about 2.9° at midday
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect David O. Selznick 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.
Venus square Neptune
about 3.9° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. David O. Selznick's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 4.3° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so David O. Selznick can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 4.6° at midday
David O. Selznick'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.
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?
