Jean Genet’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
19 December 1910 was a Monday: the day Jean Genet was born in Paris, France. That made Jean a Sagittarius, with the Moon in Leo. Jean died on 14 April 1986, aged 75. StarMap has no verified birth time for Jean, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three fire, three earth, three water and one air. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is five, three and two. Three planets stand together in Capricorn: Mercury, Venus and Uranus. Closest of the aspects is the opposition between Sun and Pluto, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 19 December, among them Édith Piaf, Karim Benzema and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Jean Genet’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 26° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Jean Genet forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Leo
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Jean up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
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 Paris, France, at each hour of the day.
Jean Genet’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 19 December 1910, computed for Paris, France.

Jean Genet’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jean Genet’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Jean Genet'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.
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Jean faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Jean did.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Jean tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Jean will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
For Jean, 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.
In Jean's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
Jupiter in Scorpio
7° Scorpio 26' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Jean, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Jean, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Capricorn
23° Capricorn 40' at midday
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Jean's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
20° Cancer 48' 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
26° Gemini 55' 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 Genet’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.
Sun opposition Pluto
about 0.2° at midday
The Sun opposite Pluto sets plain self-assertion against the draw of power struggles with people who seem to threaten Jean Genet's sense of control. Working through it leaves Jean with a strength that has no need to prove itself.
Venus trine Saturn
about 2.4° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Jean, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Saturn sextile Pluto
about 2.9° at midday
No crisis is needed to bring out Jean's resilience, because discipline and depth are on working terms in this sextile. Long, steady effort tends to be rewarded in ways that build quietly over time, not all at once.
Sun trine Saturn
about 3.2° at midday
Effort and identity feel like the same project under a Sun-Saturn trine, because Jean's sense of self and capacity for discipline reinforce each other. What they build tends to last, since ambition and patience are already in agreement.
Mercury opposition Neptune
about 5.2° at midday
Under Mercury opposite Neptune, clear thinking competes with the lure of an appealing story or a hopeful assumption. Checking conclusions against plain evidence keeps Jean on firm ground, without asking them to give up the imagination that makes their thinking interesting in the first place.
Venus opposition Pluto
about 5.3° at midday
A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Jean, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.
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?
