Jasmila Žbanić’s birth chart

Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Jasmila Žbanić's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.

Born before about 09:10: Moon in Aquarius

An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Jasmila is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.

Born after about 09:10: Moon in Pisces

The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Jasmila more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.

Jasmila's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.

For Jasmila, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.

Mars in Sagittarius acts boldly and wants room to move while doing it, and its anger flares fast over anything that feels like a limit on freedom. Jasmila may speak bluntly in the heat of the moment and smooth it over later. Given the choice, this placement walks away from a fight rather than staying to work it out.

For Jasmila, Jupiter in Pisces means finding growth in compassion, imagination and a willingness to trust things that cannot be fully explained. The overreach is an idealism about people or situations that the facts do not quite support. Others lean on this generosity of spirit more than they let on.

Emotional security is where Jasmila'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.

Much of Jasmila's age group has Uranus in Scorpio. It changes attitudes to power, secrecy and what is held in common, often while living through upheavals in institutions once considered permanent. In an individual it tends to be a low tolerance for hidden agendas.

Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Jasmila in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.

Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Jasmila belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
