Gino Bartali’s birth chart
Born 18 July 1914, in Ponte a Ema, Italy. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Cancer Sun · Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Gino Bartali’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Gino Bartali was born on Saturday, 18 July 1914, in Ponte a Ema, Italy. The Sun was in Cancer, so Cancer was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Taurus until about 12:45 and in Gemini afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Gino died on 5 May 2000, aged 85. StarMap has no verified birth time for Gino, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four water, three air, two earth and no fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Cardinal signs hold four, mutable signs three and fixed signs two. Four planets stand together in Cancer: Sun, Mercury, Neptune and Pluto. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Venus and Pluto: a sextile, about 2.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 18 July, among them Nelson Mandela, Priyanka Chopra and Vin Diesel.

Gino Bartali’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
about 24° Cancer at midday
A Cancer Sun protects. For Gino Bartali, home, memory and the people they have decided are theirs tend to sit at the centre of things, and they probably read a room before anyone speaks. Care is the strength of this Sun, and their task is to include themselves in it.
Moon sign
Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 12:45, then Gemini (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 12:45: 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 Gino, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
Born after about 12:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Gino, 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 Ponte a Ema, Italy, at each hour of the day.
Gino Bartali’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Gino 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 18 July 1914, computed for Ponte a Ema, Italy.

Gino Bartali’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Gino Bartali’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Gino Bartali is likely to feel most alive when caring for people and places that matter to them, and purpose is tied to belonging somewhere. Feeling unneeded is the sore spot for this placement, and it can be taken personally. The whole day may go better after checking in on someone they love.
Moon in Taurus or Gemini
Taurus until about 12:45, then Gemini
needs and habits
Born before about 12:45: 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 Gino 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 12:45: Moon in Gemini
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Gino 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 Cancer thinks in terms of memory and feeling as much as logic, and Gino probably communicates best when there is emotional trust in the room. Mood can colour how a fact gets delivered or received. Years after the details have faded, this is a mind that remembers exactly how a conversation felt.
With Venus in Virgo, Gino is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
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, Gino is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Aquarius
20° Aquarius 12' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Gino may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Gino that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Aquarius
10° Aquarius 14' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Gino's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.
Neptune in Cancer
27° Cancer 50' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Gino and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Cancer
1° Cancer 14' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Gino to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Aspects in Gino Bartali’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.
Venus sextile Pluto
about 2.1° at midday
This sextile promises intimacy without unnecessary drama, with Gino Bartali's affections and depth working side by side. Relationships tend to deepen at a comfortable pace, with no crisis or dramatic turning point needed to get there.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 2.7° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Gino's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Sun conjunction Neptune
about 2.9° at midday
A Sun-Neptune conjunction tends to make Gino's sense of self porous and imaginative, drawn towards ideals, art or causes bigger than everyday life. Compassion and creativity come with it, and so does the task of keeping a clear enough sense of who they are underneath the dream.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
about 5.1° at midday
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Gino the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
about 5.6° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Gino'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.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 5.9° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Gino 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.

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?
