Ingmar Bergman’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Cancer
20° Cancer 40'
A Cancer Sun protects. For Ingmar Bergman, 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
Virgo
25° Virgo 04'
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Ingmar is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Rising sign
Taurus
15° Taurus 25'
With Taurus rising, the first impression of Ingmar is calm, grounded and unhurried. People tend to relax around them and to assume that someone so settled is not going anywhere.

Ingmar Bergman’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Ingmar Bergman’s private life.
With the Sun in Cancer, Ingmar Bergman 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.
The Sun in the fourth house places home and family at the centre of a person's sense of self, and for Ingmar it points to roots that may matter more than any job title or public reputation. People with this placement tend to think best within four walls they have made their own.
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Ingmar's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Ingmar's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
The Moon in the sixth house ties the sense that all is well to daily routine, and an unpredictable schedule can leave Ingmar more rattled than the problem itself warrants. Small, dependable habits, kept even loosely, calm them faster than anything else.
Mercury in Leo gives Ingmar a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Ingmar more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Creative projects, playful banter and whatever happens to be interesting at the moment are apt to light up Ingmar's mind. Mercury in the fifth house flirts with ideas the way other people flirt with each other, testing an idea, turning it over and seeing whether it talks back.
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. Ingmar 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.
With Venus in the second house, Ingmar has an eye for quality and comfort, and being surrounded by beautiful things probably matters more to them than an outsider would guess. Ingmar's taste leans towards pleasure, ease and things made well, over things that are merely practical.
In Ingmar's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Mars in the sixth house works with drive and stamina, and a repetitive task frustrates Ingmar unless there is a way to get through it fast. They like to be on the move, and physical effort is where tension from other parts of life gets used up.
Jupiter in Cancer
0° Cancer 09' · third house
growth and excess
For Ingmar, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
With Jupiter in the third house, Ingmar is curious by nature and enjoys learning new things, and their ideas spread easily, shared with contagious enthusiasm. Teaching suits them well, and they rarely hoard what they know for its own sake.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Ingmar's chart this placement often starts with a fear of being laughed at or overlooked. The doubt tends to show as playing down achievements before anyone else can. The confidence this placement builds is hard-won and unshowy, and it tends to arrive once the waiting for permission stops.
Saturn in the fifth house can make self-expression and romance feel risky or quietly judged, so that for Ingmar playfulness is something to be practised rather than something that comes easily. Creative confidence is likely to be something grown into over time, arriving later than it does for most people.
Uranus in Aquarius
27° Aquarius 04' ℞ · twelfth house
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Ingmar'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.
Uranus in the twelfth house brings sudden insight in quiet or solitude, often surprising even Ingmar with where it comes from. Their inner world is apt to hold ideas that run ahead of language, waiting for the right moment to surface.
Neptune in Leo
6° Leo 12' · fifth house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Ingmar alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
For Ingmar, romance and creativity may carry a dreamlike, sometimes idealised quality, and Neptune in the fifth house can fall for a fantasy as easily as for an actual person. Artistic expression, in whatever form, probably gives Ingmar's imagination somewhere solid to go.
Pluto in Cancer
5° Cancer 25' · third house
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Ingmar 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.
With Pluto in the third house, Ingmar's mind is drawn to what lies underneath a conversation, and they rarely settle for the tidy, surface version of an explanation. Words can be a way of exposing what other people would rather leave hidden, even when that makes things briefly uncomfortable.
Aspects in Ingmar Bergman’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Mercury sextile Mars
1.7° applying
Speaking up quickly and clearly when it matters comes easily to Ingmar Bergman, since thinking and drive work in step. That plain directness serves them well in fast-moving conversations and quick decisions alike.
Mercury conjunction Neptune
2.2° separating
With Mercury conjunct Neptune, Ingmar'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.
Venus sextile Saturn
2.7° separating
This sextile tends to lend a workable, grounded steadiness to Ingmar's relationships, since affection and a sense of structure get along. Once Ingmar decides a commitment is right, it usually comes naturally, without the drama that faster, less considered relationships sometimes carry.
Jupiter trine Uranus
3.1° separating
Jupiter trine Uranus gives Ingmar a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.
Mars sextile Neptune
3.9° separating
In Ingmar's chart, drive and imagination help each other along gently, so inspired action is possible before everything has been mapped out. The motivation is soft but workable, and it keeps a creative or compassionate project moving without forcing it.
Mars sextile Saturn
4.4° applying
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Ingmar has that combination of drive and discipline. What results is quiet, dependable follow-through, the kind that gets a long project finished while flashier approaches give out halfway.
