Jean Gabin’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
17 May 1904 was a Tuesday: the day Jean Gabin was born in 9th arrondissement of Paris, France. Their zodiac sign was Taurus, with the Moon in Gemini. Jean died on 15 November 1976, aged 72. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is four earth, three air, two fire and one water. By modality the count is five fixed, three mutable and two cardinal. Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all fall in Taurus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Saturn: a square, about 0.9° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Two planets were retrograde: Mercury and Uranus. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 11 other people born on 17 May, among them Enya, Dennis Hopper and Bob Saget. Wikidata links Jean with one person in the dataset: Marlene Dietrich (listed as partners in Wikidata).

Jean Gabin’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 26° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Jean Gabin 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
Gemini
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Gemini processes feeling by naming it. For Jean, 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 9th arrondissement of Paris, France, at each hour of the day.
Jean Gabin’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jean 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 17 May 1904, computed for 9th arrondissement of Paris, France.

Jean Gabin’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jean Gabin’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Jean Gabin'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.
The Moon in Gemini runs its daily habits on conversation and mental stimulation, and Jean 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.
With Mercury in Taurus, Jean 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 Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Jean's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
Mars in Taurus acts deliberately and sticks with a course once chosen, and its anger builds slowly but takes a long time to cool once it arrives. At times Jean may dig in out of stubbornness rather than conviction. It takes real provocation to make this Mars snap, and the rattled feeling tends to last a while afterwards.
Jupiter in Aries
18° Aries 12' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aries grows through bold, direct action and taking the first step before feeling fully ready. Jean'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.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Jean's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Sagittarius
29° Sagittarius 13' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Jean than about the years around their birth. People of that age transform belief and access to knowledge, often through unprecedented exposure to other cultures and ideas. The personal trace is a restlessness with any single worldview presented as the only one.
Neptune in Cancer
4° Cancer 12' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Jean 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 Gemini
19° Gemini 36' at midday
power, generational
Jean shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Jean Gabin’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.
Mercury square Saturn
about 0.9° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Jean Gabin is willing to say out loud.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Jean can rebuild after a setback with a strength that outlasts the difficulty. Such endurance is quiet and formidable, and other people tend to notice it only in hindsight, once the hard period has passed.
Jupiter sextile Pluto
about 1.4° at midday
Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Jean's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.
Jupiter sextile Saturn
about 2.6° at midday
A workable, grounded kind of optimism comes from this sextile, in which Jean's sense of possibility and sense of structure assist each other. The plans they make tend to hold together, even under the sort of pressure that scatters looser ones.
Sun conjunction Mars
about 3.4° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mars, Jean's will and identity are fused, which makes for strong, immediate drive and a low tolerance for sitting still. They probably act on impulse more often than most, and aiming that energy at a goal of their own serves them better than using it up on the first thing in front of them.
Sun square Saturn
about 5.3° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Jean pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
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.

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?
