Jean-Michel Jarre’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jean-Michel Jarre was born in 4th arrondissement of Lyon, France, on 24 August 1948, a Tuesday. Their zodiac sign is Virgo, with the Moon in Aries. Jean-Michel turns 78 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Jean-Michel; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against air three, earth two and water one. Cardinal signs hold four, mutable signs four and fixed signs two. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Sun and Uranus, about 1.4° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. No planet was retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 24 August, among them Paulo Coelho, Rupert Grint and Marlee Matlin. Wikidata links Jean-Michel with two people in the dataset: Charlotte Rampling (married in 1978, marriage ended in 1998) and Gong Li (married in 2019).

Jean-Michel Jarre’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Virgo
about 1° Virgo at midday
A Virgo Sun refines. Jean-Michel Jarre is likely to notice what could be better and quietly make it so, keeping the highest standards for themselves. The art of this placement is knowing when good enough is the wiser choice.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Jean-Michel 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.
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 4th arrondissement of Lyon, France, at each hour of the day.
Jean-Michel Jarre’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Jean-Michel 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 24 August 1948, computed for 4th arrondissement of Lyon, France.

Jean-Michel Jarre’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jean-Michel Jarre’s private life.
A Virgo Sun finds purpose in being useful and doing a job properly, and Jean-Michel Jarre's energy tends to stay steady as long as there is a task worth doing well. Rest is the hard part, because it can feel undeserved until everything is fixed. Typically a piece of work is still being adjusted long after everyone else would call it finished.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Jean-Michel, 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.
For Jean-Michel, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Jean-Michel that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
In Jean-Michel'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.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
19° Sagittarius 12' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Jean-Michel is likely to grow through travel, study and direct experience of things bigger than ordinary life. The excess may be promising more than circumstances can deliver, out of optimism rather than dishonesty. This Jupiter carries a conviction that things will work out, and other people borrow it when theirs runs low.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Jean-Michel'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.
Uranus in Gemini
29° Gemini 47' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Jean-Michel and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
11° Libra 14' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Jean-Michel among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
15° Leo 05' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Jean-Michel, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Jean-Michel Jarre’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 sextile Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
There is room for Jean-Michel Jarre to be a little unconventional without losing much by it, since identity and originality get along well here. Other people tend to find this easy, unforced independence refreshing rather than alarming.
Mercury sextile Venus
about 2.6° at midday
Thinking and affection are easy companions in Jean-Michel's chart, which gives them a natural charm in how they communicate. With Mercury sextile Venus, expressing appreciation and finding the right words go together, especially in moments when they want someone to feel noticed.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 3.0° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Jean-Michel a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Mars sextile Saturn
about 3.4° at midday
Sustained effort feels manageable, not draining, when Mars and Saturn are in sextile, and Jean-Michel 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.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 4.1° at midday
In this trine, Jean-Michel's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Mars sextile Jupiter
about 4.2° at midday
There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Jean-Michel's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Jean-Michel, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.
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?
