Geraldine Chaplin’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Geraldine Chaplin was born in Santa Monica, California, on 31 July 1944, a Monday. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Geraldine turns 82 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Geraldine, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against earth three, air two and water one. Mutable signs hold five, fixed signs three and cardinal signs two. Three planets stand together in Leo: Sun, Venus and Pluto. Mercury, Mars and Jupiter all fall in Virgo. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mars and Uranus: a square, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 31 July, among them J. K. Rowling, Louis de Funès and Richard Griffiths. Wikidata links Geraldine with one person in the dataset: Carlos Saura (listed as partners, 1967 to 1979).

Geraldine Chaplin’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 8° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Geraldine Chaplin that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
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 Geraldine, 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 Santa Monica, California, at each hour of the day.

Geraldine Chaplin’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Geraldine Chaplin’s private life.
Purpose for Geraldine Chaplin is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
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 Geraldine edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
For Geraldine, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Leo loves generously and openly, and values being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else on offer. For Geraldine, the tension this suggests is needing steady reassurance of still being adored. Their gestures tend to be grand and thoughtful, and it can sting when those go unnoticed.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Geraldine is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Virgo
1° Virgo 11' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Geraldine, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.
Emotional security is where Geraldine'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
12° Gemini 09' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Geraldine 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
2° Libra 05' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Geraldine 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
8° Leo 20' 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 Geraldine, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Geraldine Chaplin’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 square Uranus
about 0.0° at midday
This square can make drive turn abrupt, leading to sudden decisions or breaks that surprise Geraldine Chaplin as much as they surprise everyone nearby. A brief pause before the impulsive move keeps the courage and loses the recklessness.
Sun conjunction Pluto
about 0.1° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Pluto, Geraldine's identity is likely to be intense and transformative, with feelings that run at full volume rather than in moderation. Depth and staying power are the reward, and the thing to outgrow is needing a situation to become a crisis before it feels meaningful.
Mercury sextile Saturn
about 1.3° at midday
Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Geraldine's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter
about 2.7° at midday
Geraldine's thinking is likely to be expansive and enthusiastic, connecting ideas across subjects other people keep separate. It makes for lively conversation, and the habit worth adding is checking the details behind a big idea before committing to it fully.
Saturn square Neptune
about 3.1° at midday
Practical sense and idealism can pull against each other in this square, and for Geraldine that may mean either an uninspired routine or a dream with no realistic plan behind it. The way through is to build the structure and protect the dream at the same time, without sacrificing one for the other.
Sun sextile Uranus
about 3.8° at midday
There is room for Geraldine to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
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?
