Gérard Depardieu’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Capricorn
5° Capricorn 27'
A Capricorn Sun endures. Ambition, patience and a dry sense of humour are what tend to carry Gérard Depardieu up long slopes other people give up on. The placement learns, eventually, that rest is part of the climb.
Moon sign
Scorpio
27° Scorpio 29'
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Gérard that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
Rising sign
Sagittarius
25° Sagittarius 22'
With Sagittarius rising, Gérard probably comes across as open, frank and optimistic. Around a Sagittarius rising, people feel that anything might happen, and this is often the one who says the thing everyone was thinking.

Gérard Depardieu’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gérard Depardieu’s private life.
Sun in Capricorn
5° Capricorn 27' · first house
purpose and vitality
With the Sun in Capricorn, Gérard Depardieu is likely to find purpose in building a reputation and a structure that will outlast them, with a vitality that is steady rather than showy. The trap can be measuring their worth by output alone. They may well work through tiredness instead of naming it, until someone else has to point it out.
The Sun in the first house puts Gérard's identity centre stage, and being seen probably matters more to them than they let on. In a new setting they lead with personality and let people discover the rest later.
Moon in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 29' · eleventh house
needs and habits
For Gérard, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
With the Moon in the eleventh house, Gérard feels most at ease among friends who see the world the same way and share a sense of what matters in it. Not belonging anywhere can quietly unsettle a person with this placement, while a steady circle feels like part of their foundation.
Mercury in Capricorn
13° Capricorn 44' · first house
mind and voice
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Gérard tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Gérard will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Mercury in the first house belongs to someone who thinks out loud, and Gérard's thoughts often arrive first in almost any conversation. A thought is usually spoken nearly as soon as it forms, sometimes before they have fully decided what they think.
Venus in Sagittarius
8° Sagittarius 41' · twelfth house
love and values
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Gérard probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
Venus in the twelfth house keeps affections private and sometimes idealised, and Gérard may feel more deeply than they show to most people. The placement values quiet acts of devotion, done without an audience, over public displays or grand romantic gestures.
Mars in Capricorn
23° Capricorn 23' · first house
drive and anger
Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Gérard's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.
For Gérard, action comes first and thought later, with an energy that is direct, physical and hard to miss when they walk into a room. Someone with Mars in the first house is usually seen as a person who moves the moment a decision is made, rarely one who lingers over it.
Jupiter in Capricorn
9° Capricorn 16' · first house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Gérard would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Jupiter in the first house can give Gérard a natural confidence and openness that people notice right away, often before very much has been said. Gérard usually walks into a situation expecting it to go reasonably well, and that expectation shapes how people respond.
Saturn in Virgo
6° Virgo 06' ℞ · eighth house
discipline and doubt
Competence is what Saturn in Virgo builds discipline around, often driven by a fear of not yet having done enough to deserve rest. Gérard 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.
Saturn in the eighth house points to trust that builds slowly, and Gérard is inclined to take time before letting anyone close. Once that trust is in place, the placement suggests a wish to keep what is shared for a long time.
Uranus in Gemini
28° Gemini 15' ℞ · seventh house
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Gérard 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.
Uranus in the seventh house asks for relationships with more freedom and less convention than the average partnership, and Gérard may look for people who respect that independence. A sudden shift in a relationship may rattle Gérard less than most.
Neptune in Libra
15° Libra 03' · ninth house
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Gérard 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.
With Neptune in the ninth house, Gérard may be drawn to big questions about meaning, and travel can feel like a search for something beyond the practical reason for the trip. The placement is associated with ideals that are felt more than argued, and held quietly and steadily.
Pluto in Leo
16° Leo 12' ℞ · eighth house
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 Gérard, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
The eighth house is Pluto's natural home, and for Gérard questions of trust, power and what is truly shared between people can matter enormously. Pluto here wants to understand what most people are too afraid to look at directly, even about themselves.
Aspects in Gérard Depardieu’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun trine Saturn
0.7° applying
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Gérard Depardieu's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Mercury square Neptune
1.3° applying
Wishful assumptions, or a compelling but unverified story, can blur thinking when Mercury is square Neptune. What helps Gérard is pairing imagination with a habit of checking the details before repeating the story as though it were settled fact.
Venus square Saturn
2.6° separating
Venus square Saturn can pair the desire for closeness with a fear of not being quite enough to keep it. For Gérard that may mean self-doubt in relationships that have given no reason for it, and the fear can ease each time they let themselves be loved without first having to deserve it.
Jupiter trine Saturn
3.2° separating
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Gérard pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Sun conjunction Jupiter
3.8° applying
Gérard's identity carries a natural optimism and a generous sense of scale, so they tend to think bigger than the room requires. Confidence comes easily with the Sun conjunct Jupiter, and the discipline worth building is matching that optimism with follow-through.
Moon sextile Mars
4.1° separating
Gérard's feelings and drive pull together, which makes it easier to act on an emotional instinct without overthinking it. The courage involved is the everyday kind, at work in small moments nobody else notices.
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.
