Luis Buñuel’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Luis Buñuel was born on Thursday, 22 February 1900, in Calanda, Spain. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Sagittarius and Gemini rising. Luis died on 29 July 1983, aged 83. The birth time, 12:00, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was taken from a birth certificate or birth record.
Fire carries the most weight: four of the ten planets, against air three, water two and earth one. Mutable signs hold seven, cardinal signs two and fixed signs one. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Moon, Jupiter and Uranus. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Saturn: a sextile, 0.5° from exact. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was at its last quarter.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 22 February, among them Drew Barrymore, Steve Irwin and Niki Lauda.
Luis Buñuel’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
3° Pisces 27'
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Luis Buñuel the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 14'
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Luis, 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
Gemini
27° Gemini 41'
On first meeting, Luis probably seems curious, quick and easy to talk to. People with Gemini rising tend to look younger than their years and to be hard to pin down, and a conversation with them usually goes somewhere.

Luis Buñuel’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Luis Buñuel’s private life.
Sun in Pisces
3° Pisces 27' · ninth house
purpose and vitality
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Luis Buñuel'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 Sun in the ninth house lets travel, ideas and a bigger philosophy of life shape the person Luis is becoming, more than any single job or role could. They need room to explore new places and new questions, or they start to feel smaller and duller than they are.
Moon in Sagittarius
1° Sagittarius 14' · sixth house
needs and habits
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 Luis edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
The Moon in the sixth house ties the sense that all is well to daily routine, and an unpredictable schedule can leave Luis more rattled than the problem itself warrants. Small, dependable habits, kept even loosely, calm them faster than anything else.
Mercury in Pisces
13° Pisces 57' · tenth house
mind and voice
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Luis is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
With Mercury in the tenth house, Luis is apt to think strategically about reputation and the next move at work, and to turn a plan over privately long before anyone else knows it exists. Clear, well-timed communication may be the skill this placement leans on most.
Venus in Aries
10° Aries 44' · eleventh house
love and values
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Luis that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Friendship matters enormously with Venus in the eleventh house, a placement that tends to gather a warm, easygoing circle around Luis without any effort to draw it. With Venus here, the instinct is to keep the peace in a group, often smoothing over tension before anyone else has noticed it.
Mars in Aquarius
24° Aquarius 56' · ninth house
drive and anger
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Luis can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
With Mars in the ninth house, Luis is likely to pursue new ideas, travel and beliefs with restless energy, and a good debate about philosophy or politics can fire them up for hours. They would rather go out and find the answer than sit and wait for it to arrive.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
9° Sagittarius 10' · sixth house
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Luis 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.
Luis finds meaning in routines that others would call dull, and brings optimism to work every day. With Jupiter in the sixth house, growth comes by steady, patient improvement rather than by one dramatic leap.
Saturn in Capricorn
2° Capricorn 59' · seventh house
discipline and doubt
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Luis, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Saturn in the seventh house is associated with treating partnership as ongoing work and commitment as a serious matter, and in Luis's chart it points to caution about committing quickly. The placement goes with a wish to build a relationship slowly rather than enter one lightly.
Uranus in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 14' · sixth house
freedom, generational
Uranus in Sagittarius is less about Luis 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.
With Uranus in the sixth house, Luis is often the inventive one at work, finding shortcuts or better systems that other people miss. A rigid, unchanging routine is apt to wear on Luis faster than on most, however sensible it looks.
Neptune in Gemini
24° Gemini 14' ℞ · twelfth house
imagination, generational
The dream of Neptune in Gemini is a collective one, shared across roughly fourteen years of births. The imagination of Luis's generation is shaped by information moving faster than anyone can fully verify. Its personal form is finding it hard to tell a compelling story apart from a true one.
The twelfth house is Neptune's natural home, and Luis's inner life is likely to be rich with imagination, intuition and a sense of connection to something larger than themselves. Neptune here makes solitude less about being alone and more about tuning in to what is already there.
Pluto in Gemini
14° Gemini 42' ℞ · twelfth house
power, generational
Luis 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.
Pluto in the twelfth house suggests a great deal going on beneath the surface for Luis, with growth coming from facing what is hidden within instead of avoiding it. Solitude can be the setting for the biggest changes, more than any single outside event.
Aspects in Luis Buñuel’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Sun sextile Saturn
0.5° separating
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Luis Buñuel rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Mars trine Neptune
0.7° separating
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Luis's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
Mercury square Pluto
0.7° applying
A simple disagreement can turn into something more charged when Mercury is square Pluto, as Luis looks for motives that may not be there. The lesson is trusting a straightforward answer when the evidence supports one, rather than assuming the deeper explanation is always the true one.
Venus trine Uranus
1.5° applying
Closeness does not have to feel confining for Luis, because under this trine affection and independence sit easily together. Excitement and stability manage to coexist, more comfortably than the usual choice between the two would suggest.
Venus trine Jupiter
1.6° separating
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Luis's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Mercury square Uranus
1.7° separating
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Luis may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
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.
