Francis Ford Coppola’s birth chart
Born April 7, 1939 in Detroit at 01:38.
Aries Sun · Scorpio Moon · Capricorn rising · Fire · Cardinal
Sun
♈Aries
16° Aries 33'
You start things. Your energy is direct and impatient with delay, and you are most yourself when there is something to go first at. The work of an Aries Sun is finishing what the spark began.
Moon
♏Scorpio
26° Scorpio 05'
You feel everything and show little. Trust is slow, private and absolute, and betrayal is not forgotten. You are restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Rising
♑Capricorn
7° Capricorn 24'
You come across as composed, capable and older than your age when young, then younger than your age later. People hand you responsibility without asking.

Francis Ford Coppola's full reading
Each planet by sign and house. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.
☉Sun in Aries
♈ 16° Aries 33' · third house
purpose and vitality
Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.
Francis is energized by talking, writing and swapping ideas with whoever happens to be around they that day. Curiosity is not a side interest for they, it sits close to the core of who Francis is, and a good conversation can genuinely change their mood.
☽Moon in Scorpio
♏ 26° Scorpio 05' · tenth house
needs and habits
Their emotional needs run deep and private, and they would rather manage a hard feeling alone than explain it while it is still raw. Daily trust is earned slowly and rarely given back once broken. It shows up as needing real privacy, even in a home full of people they love.
Their emotional security is tangled up with how their work is going and whether they feel respected publicly for what they do. A setback at work can hit they harder emotionally than it would hit someone else, even when they try to shrug it off.
☿Mercury in Aries
♈ 9° Aries 32' ℞ · third house
mind and voice
They think in quick, decisive strokes and say what they mean without much preamble. The tension is speaking before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It shows up as finishing other people's sentences and preferring a fast decision to a long meeting.
This is Mercury's natural home, and words, ideas and quick exchanges come easily to they in a way they do not for most people. Francis is probably the fastest talker or the sharpest writer in most rooms they find themselves in, without much effort.
♀Venus in Pisces
♓ 8° Pisces 10' · second house
love and values
They love without much guard, and they value emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The tension is idealising a partner before they have really seen them. It shows up as giving generously to relationships and struggling to notice when Francis is giving more than Francis is getting.
They have a genuine eye for quality and comfort, and surrounding themselves with things they find beautiful matters to they more than most people would guess. Their values lean toward pleasure, ease and things made well, over things that are merely practical or cheap.
♂Mars in Capricorn
♑ 9° Capricorn 13' · first house
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.
They act first and think later, and their energy is direct, physical and genuinely hard to miss when they walk into a room. People experience they a someone who moves the moment a decision is made, rarely someone who lingers on it for long.
♃Jupiter in Pisces
♓ 22° Pisces 36' · second house
growth and excess
They grow through compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things they cannot fully explain. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. It shows up as a generosity of spirit that others lean on more than they let they know.
They tend to have an optimistic, generous relationship with money and resources, and abundance often finds its way to they gradually over time rather than all at once. Their values expand the more of the world they actually get exposed to, rarely staying fixed for long.
♄Saturn in Aries
♈ 20° Aries 26' · third house
discipline and doubt
They build discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse, and the doubt shows up as second-guessing whether they moved too fast or not fast enough. It shows up as a slow-earned confidence in their own initiative that finally arrives once they stop rushing every decision.
They may have felt held back in communication early on, perhaps feeling unheard or overly careful with their words, and speaking up freely took real, deliberate practice. What they say now tends to carry genuine weight, because they choose their words with real care.
♅Uranus in Taurus
♉ 16° Taurus 02' · fourth house
freedom, generational
Shared by everyone born across this generation, this placement marks people who reinvent ideas of money, land and security, often through technology that unsettles older systems of ownership. Personally, it can show up as a discomfort with financial norms their parents took for granted.
Home life may have included sudden changes or an unconventional family structure growing up, and they likely need more independence within a household than most people ever do. Stability, for they, includes room to be genuinely different, not a fixed routine imposed from outside.
♆Neptune in Virgo
♍ 21° Virgo 18' ℞ · eighth house
imagination, generational
Shared across this generational span, this placement marks people whose collective imagination turns toward healing, service and idealised routines of self-improvement. Personally, it can show up as chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Intimacy for they can feel like dissolving the usual boundaries with another person, for better and sometimes for worse, and Francis is sensitive to what goes unsaid between they. Real trust asks they to stay reasonably grounded rather than merge completely and lose their own outline.
♇Pluto in Cancer
♋ 29° Cancer 13' ℞ · seventh house
power, generational
Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.
Their closest partnerships tend to be transformative, sometimes bringing up real power struggles before genuine trust has a chance to settle in fully. Once that trust is actually built between they, the bond tends to run unusually deep and to hold under real pressure.
Aspects
How the planets in Francis Ford Coppola's chart talk to each other, tightest first.
Mercury square Mars
0.3° applying
Their thoughts and their impulses can clash, showing up as sharp words said before they have fully thought them through. The lesson is a short pause between the thought and the sentence, which changes very little except the outcome.
Venus sextile Mars
1.0° applying
Their affections and their drive cooperate, making it easy to pursue what they like without much internal conflict. This is a pleasant, workable kind of confidence that serves they especially well in the early stages of anything new.
Jupiter opposition Neptune
1.3° separating
They feel a pull between pursuing a genuine opportunity and getting lost chasing an idealised version of one that does not quite exist. Testing an exciting idea against the plain facts protects the optimism rather than undermining it.
Moon trine Pluto
3.1° applying
Their feelings and their capacity for transformation support each other, so they proces even difficult emotions in a way that leaves they stronger rather than depleted. This is quiet, genuine resilience, the sort that other people only notice once they see what they have come through.
