David Suchet’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
David Suchet was born in Paddington, England, on 2 May 1946, a Thursday. That makes David a Taurus. The Moon was in Taurus until about 21:05 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. David turns 80 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for David, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Air carries the most weight: four of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire three, earth one and water one. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs two. The tightest aspect is Jupiter square Saturn, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter and Neptune were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 2 May, among them Satyajit Ray, David Beckham and Dwayne Johnson.

David Suchet’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 11° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to David Suchet 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
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 21:05, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 21:05: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon feels through the body and its surroundings. On this reading, good food, familiar places and slow evenings are what restore David, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 21:05: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For David, 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.
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 Paddington, England, at each hour of the day.
David Suchet’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 2 May 1946, computed for Paddington, England.

David Suchet’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about David Suchet’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and David Suchet'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.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 21:05, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 21:05: Moon in Taurus
A Taurus Moon needs routine, familiar food and physical comfort to feel steady from day to day. A sudden change of schedule probably unsettles David more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
Born after about 21:05: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and David 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.
Mercury in Aries suggests that David thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. David probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for David its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Libra
20° Libra 05' at midday ℞
growth and excess
In David's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
Emotional security is where David's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Uranus in Gemini
15° Gemini 26' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by David and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
6° Libra 21' 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
9° Leo 27' 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 Suchet’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.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 0.5° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to David Suchet it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Mercury sextile Uranus
about 0.7° at midday
Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to David, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.
Venus sextile Mars
about 0.7° at midday
A sextile between Venus and Mars tends to let David go after what they like without much inner conflict, because affection and drive are pulling the same way. It is a pleasant, workable confidence, at its most useful in the early stages of anything new.
Sun square Pluto
about 2.0° at midday
With this aspect, David's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever David chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mars sextile Neptune
about 2.0° at midday
In David's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Venus trine Neptune
about 2.7° at midday
David is likely to love with a romantic, artistic quality that comes naturally, because affection and imagination flow together under this trine. Compassion and creativity arrive easily, and the people nearby tend to feel cared for as a result.
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.
