Marcel Carné’s birth chart
Born 18 August 1906, in Paris, France. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Marcel Carné’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Marcel Carné was born in Paris, France, on 18 August 1906, a Saturday. The Sun was in Leo, so Leo was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Cancer for Leo at about 00:59 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Marcel died on 31 October 1996, aged 90. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in fire signs, three in water, two in air and one in earth. Cardinal signs hold four, fixed signs three and mutable signs two. Three planets stand together in Leo: Sun, Mercury and Mars. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Mars: a conjunction, about 0.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Mercury, Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 18 August, among them Roman Polanski, Robert Redford and Edward Norton.

Marcel Carné’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 24° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Marcel Carné that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Cancer or Leo
Cancer until about 00:59, then Leo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 00:59: Moon in Cancer
The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Marcel that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.
Born after about 00:59: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Marcel 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.
Marcel Carné’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Marcel 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 18 August 1906, computed for Paris, France.

Marcel Carné’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Marcel Carné’s private life.
Purpose for Marcel Carné is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.

Cancer until about 00:59, then Leo
needs and habits
Born before about 00:59: Moon in Cancer
With the Moon in Cancer, Marcel's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.
Born after about 00:59: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Marcel faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Marcel did.
Mercury in Leo gives Marcel a mind that thinks in confident, story-shaped terms and communicates with warmth and a bit of flair, drawing people in even when the subject is dry. Attachment to being right can make Marcel more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Libra loves with an instinct for balance and partnership, and Marcel probably values harmony, fairness and someone who makes an effort to look good together. The risk with this Venus is staying in a relationship for the sake of the pairing itself. Marcel may give up a personal preference before anyone has even asked.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Marcel its anger is likely to flare when pride or loyalty is challenged. The tension is turning a disagreement into a matter of ego. Criticism of the work can feel personal to a Leo Mars, even when it was not meant that way.
Jupiter in Cancer
3° Cancer 35' at midday
growth and excess
For Marcel, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Marcel, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Capricorn
4° Capricorn 47' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Marcel'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
11° Cancer 43' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Marcel 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
23° Gemini 31' at midday
power, generational
Marcel 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 Marcel Carné’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 conjunction Mars
about 0.7° at midday
With Mercury conjunct Mars, thinking and the drive to act are closely linked, so ideas turn into words and decisions almost immediately. It makes Marcel Carné quick and direct in conversation, and the discipline is letting a thought settle before saying it out loud.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 1.1° at midday
Marcel's identity and depth are allies, which gives them resilience without constant upheaval. They probably handle intensity better than most, and it takes less out of them than it looks from outside, especially once they trust their own steadiness.
Jupiter opposition Uranus
about 1.2° at midday
One side of this opposition wants Marcel to expand along a familiar path; the other wants them to leave it entirely for something untested. Neither impulse needs to win outright, and trying the new direction on a smaller scale first tends to serve them well.
Saturn trine Neptune
about 1.2° at midday
With Saturn trine Neptune, Marcel's discipline and imagination steady each other, which makes it possible to build something both beautiful and structurally sound. Vision and follow-through tend to arrive together, a combination that is rare and worth trusting.
Venus square Uranus
about 3.4° at midday
In Marcel's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Venus square Neptune
about 3.5° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Marcel's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
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?
