Maurice Druon’s birth chart
Born 23 April 1918, in 13th arrondissement of Paris, France. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Moon in Virgo or Libra
Maurice Druon’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Maurice Druon was born in 13th arrondissement of Paris, France, on 23 April 1918, a Tuesday. The Sun was in Taurus, so Taurus was their zodiac sign. The Moon was in Virgo until about 10:25 and in Libra afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Maurice died on 14 April 2009, aged 90. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
By element the count is three earth, two fire, two air and two water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is five fixed, three mutable and one cardinal. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Saturn: a square, about 0.6° 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: Mercury and Mars. The Moon was waxing gibbous, between first quarter and full.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 23 April, among them John Cena, Shirley Temple and Michael Moore.

Maurice Druon’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 2° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Maurice Druon than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 10:25, then Libra (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:25: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Maurice is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Born after about 10:25: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Maurice, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
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 13th arrondissement of Paris, France, at each hour of the day.
Maurice Druon’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Maurice 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 23 April 1918, computed for 13th arrondissement of Paris, France.

| 00:00 to 00:50 | Sagittarius rising |
| 00:50 to 02:40 | Capricorn rising |
| 02:40 to 03:50 | Aquarius rising |

Maurice Druon’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Maurice Druon’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Maurice Druon's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
Moon in Virgo or Libra
Virgo until about 10:25, then Libra
needs and habits
Born before about 10:25: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Maurice's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Maurice's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
Born after about 10:25: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Maurice's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
With Mercury in Taurus, Maurice is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
Venus in Pisces loves without much guard, and Maurice 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.
Mars in Virgo acts carefully and precisely, preferring to get a task right over getting it done fast, and its anger usually comes from things being done sloppily. When upset, Maurice is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Gemini
11° Gemini 55' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Maurice may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Maurice'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 Aquarius
27° Aquarius 04' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Maurice's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.
Neptune in Leo
4° Leo 19' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Maurice alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Pluto in Cancer
3° Cancer 40' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Maurice 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 Maurice Druon’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 square Saturn
about 0.6° at midday
Self-doubt can get into thinking when Mercury is square Saturn, in the form of over-editing or delaying a decision that was ready. Sharing the unfinished thought anyway, again and again, is what loosens the doubt's hold over what Maurice Druon is willing to say out loud.
Sun sextile Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
Maurice'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.
Sun square Neptune
about 1.9° at midday
A Sun-Neptune square can blur Maurice's sense of who they are under the pull of an ideal, a cause or someone else's story, until it is unclear where they end and the dream begins. The task is staying inspired without losing their own outline.
Mars square Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Maurice may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Venus opposition Mars
about 2.4° at midday
Venus opposite Mars sets what Maurice wants for themselves against what keeps a relationship harmonious, most of all around desire and assertiveness. Naming a want plainly, instead of swallowing it or forcing it, tends to serve both sides.
Saturn conjunction Neptune
about 3.5° at midday
Maurice tends to give a vague dream a workable shape, because Saturn conjunct Neptune ties discipline closely to imagination. It makes them unusually able to turn inspiration into something lasting, provided doubt is not allowed to talk them out of an idea before it has been tested.
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?
