Glenn Ford’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
1 May 1916 was a Monday: the day Glenn Ford was born in Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, Quebec, Canada. Their zodiac sign was Taurus. The Moon was in Aries until about 02:50 and in Taurus afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Glenn died on 30 August 2006, aged 90. No verified birth time is on file for Glenn; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is two fire, two earth, two air and two water, leaving out the Moon and Neptune, whose signs depend on the birth time. By modality the count is four fixed, three cardinal and one mutable. The tightest aspect is Mars trine Jupiter, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Every planet was moving direct. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waning crescent to new.
StarMap's dataset holds 17 other people born on 1 May, among them Anushka Sharma, Leonardo Bonucci and Joseph Heller.

Glenn Ford’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 10° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Glenn Ford than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 02:50, then Taurus (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Glenn is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
Born after about 02:50: 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 Glenn, and sudden change lands hard. Once they feel safe, they can be the steadiest person in the room.
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 Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, Quebec, Canada, at each hour of the day.
Glenn Ford’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Glenn 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 1 May 1916, computed for Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, Quebec, Canada.

Glenn Ford’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Glenn Ford’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Glenn Ford's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
Moon in Aries or Taurus
Aries until about 02:50, then Taurus
needs and habits
Born before about 02:50: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Glenn, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Born after about 02:50: 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 Glenn more than they let on. A good bed, a favourite mug or the same coffee order can turn an unsteady morning around.
With Mercury in Taurus, Glenn is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Glenn probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Glenn its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Aries
18° Aries 42' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Glenn's overreach, on this reading, is starting more than can realistically be finished. A burst of confidence tends to get a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is in place.
Emotional security is where Glenn'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 Aquarius
19° Aquarius 28' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Glenn'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 or Leo
Cancer until about 21:55, then Leo
imagination, generational
Neptune changed sign during the birth date, so which of its two generational readings applies depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Pluto in Cancer
1° Cancer 38' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Glenn 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 Glenn Ford’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 trine Jupiter
about 0.1° at midday
Mars trine Jupiter lets drive and a sense of possibility work as one, and in Glenn Ford's chart the pattern favours confident, well-timed action towards the goals that matter to them. A first move under this trine tends to open a door, largely because it is made with conviction and at a sensible moment.
Jupiter sextile Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
This sextile puts possibility and originality on easy terms, so Glenn can take up a fresh opportunity without much disruption. Think of it as innovation at low cost, the kind that improves something without first tearing it down.
Mars opposition Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
When Glenn acts on their own terms, it can bring them up against people or systems that expect the usual process to be followed; this opposition lives in that clash. Rebellion chosen deliberately, moment by moment, tends to serve them better than a reaction to every restriction.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 0.9° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Glenn rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 1.6° at midday
Glenn's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 5.3° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Glenn is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.

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?
