Gael García Bernal’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Gael García Bernal was born on Thursday, 30 November 1978, in Guadalajara, Mexico. The Sun was in Sagittarius, so Sagittarius is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Gael turns 48 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Gael, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Fire carries the most weight: six of the ten planets, against water two, earth one and air one. Mutable signs hold six, fixed signs three and cardinal signs one. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Neptune all fall in Sagittarius. The tightest aspect is Neptune sextile Pluto, about 0.8° 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: Mercury and Jupiter. Over the course of the day the Moon went from new to waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 13 other people born on 30 November, among them Woody Allen, Elisha Cuthbert and Ridley Scott.

Gael García Bernal’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 8° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Gael García Bernal forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Gael, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Guadalajara, Mexico, at each hour of the day.
Gael García Bernal’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Gael 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 30 November 1978, computed for Guadalajara, Mexico.

Gael García Bernal’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gael García Bernal’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Gael García Bernal's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Gael edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Gael's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
Venus in Scorpio loves intensely and privately, and Gael is likely to value depth and total honesty over ease. Testing loyalty can create the very distance this placement fears most. There is an all-or-nothing quality to how this Venus commits, with little interest in anything in between.
Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Gael may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.
Jupiter in Leo
9° Leo 01' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Leo grows through creative confidence and a willingness to take up space. For Gael the overreach may be overselling their own contribution or expecting more credit than a situation calls for. There is a natural showmanship here that lifts a room, and occasionally a story that grows a little in the retelling.
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Gael may feel like a fraud even when the track record says otherwise. The usual result is someone quietly excellent at something long before they will admit it out loud.
Uranus in Scorpio
18° Scorpio 01' at midday
freedom, generational
Much of Gael's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.
Neptune in Sagittarius
17° Sagittarius 39' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Gael in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
18° Libra 26' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Gael belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Gael García Bernal’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.
Sun trine Jupiter
about 0.8° at midday
With the Sun trine Jupiter, Gael García Bernal's sense of self and instinct for growth support each other, which gives them a warm, expansive confidence. They are likely to be quick to see an opening and to make the most of it without forcing anything.
Mercury sextile Pluto
about 1.1° at midday
Gael's thinking can reach their depth when it needs to, which gives them insight without unnecessary intensity. With this aspect they are likely to notice what others miss, which makes them a useful person to have in a hard conversation.
Mercury conjunction Mars
about 1.4° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Gael quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Venus square Jupiter
about 1.6° at midday
Under this square, Gael's generosity can run past what is sustainable, whether in time, affection or promises made in a warm moment. The warmth is sincere; the work is matching it to a scale that can be kept up over the months that follow the excitement, not only the first one.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 1.9° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Gael's thinking is likely to be imaginative and impressionistic, working through images and instinct as much as straight logic. It is a creative and intuitive strength, at its best when a compelling idea has been held up against the facts before being embraced.
Mars sextile Pluto
about 2.6° at midday
This sextile joins drive to depth, so resilience and follow-through are likely to be available to Gael without constant conflict. Gael is likely to handle pressure better than most, and at a lower cost than expected, largely because a fight is rarely needed to prove the point.
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?
