Jiří Menzel’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Jiří Menzel was born on Wednesday, 23 February 1938, in Prague, Czech Republic. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius. Jiří died on 5 September 2020, aged 82. No verified birth time is on file for Jiří; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.
By element the count is three fire, three water, two earth and two air. By modality the count is four mutable, three cardinal and three fixed. The tightest aspect is Venus sextile 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. Two planets were retrograde: Neptune and Pluto. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds ten other people born on 23 February, among them Emily Blunt, Dakota Fanning and Casemiro.

Jiří Menzel’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 4° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Jiří Menzel the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Jiří, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Prague, Czech Republic, at each hour of the day.
Jiří Menzel’s rising sign, by birth time

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 23 February 1938, computed for Prague, Czech Republic.

Jiří Menzel’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Jiří Menzel’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Jiří Menzel's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Jiří edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
In Jiří's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Jiří probably values emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The temptation can be to idealise a partner before really seeing them. Generosity in relationships comes easily here, and so does missing the moment when giving starts to outweigh getting.
For Jiří, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Aquarius
15° Aquarius 11' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Jiří may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Jiří, 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 Taurus
10° Taurus 16' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Jiří shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
20° Virgo 12' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Jiří shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Cancer
28° Cancer 16' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Jiří 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.
Aspects in Jiří Menzel’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.
Venus sextile Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
An independent streak and a warm heart get along in this sextile, which tends to give Jiří Menzel's relationships room to breathe without cooling them. The freedom involved is easy and low on drama: enough to keep a relationship interesting, never so much that it feels unstable.
Mars sextile Jupiter
about 2.5° at midday
There is confident, well-aimed energy in this sextile, and not much wasted effort, since Jiří's drive and optimism pull together. Taking the initiative suits Jiří, above all when they commit to one goal and do not scatter their energy across several.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 4.7° at midday
Who Jiří is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Jupiter square Uranus
about 4.9° at midday
An appetite for growth can turn erratic under Jupiter square Uranus, with sudden changes of direction that leave earlier plans unfinished. The instinct for change this square gives Jiří is a good one, and it does most when channelled into fewer, more deliberate moves that get to see the finish line.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 5.6° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Jiří 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.

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?
