Mikis Theodorakis’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
29 July 1925 was a Wednesday: the day Mikis Theodorakis was born in Chios, Greece. Their zodiac sign was Leo, with the Moon in Scorpio. Mikis died on 2 September 2021, aged 96. StarMap has no verified birth time for Mikis, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is four water, three fire, three earth and no air. Fixed signs hold five, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. Sun, Mars and Neptune all fall in Leo. The tightest aspect is Mars conjunction Neptune, about 0.8° 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: Jupiter and Uranus. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds nine other people born on 29 July, among them Eyvind Johnson, Harry Mulisch and Clara Bow.

Mikis Theodorakis’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 5° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Mikis Theodorakis 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
Scorpio
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Mikis that suggests trust that is slow, private and absolute; betrayal, once it happens, is not forgotten. This Moon is restored by intimacy without performance and by time alone to let things move.
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 Chios, Greece, at each hour of the day.

Mikis Theodorakis’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Mikis Theodorakis’s private life.
Purpose for Mikis Theodorakis 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.
For Mikis, the Moon in Scorpio means emotional needs that run deep and private, and a preference for managing a hard feeling alone over explaining it while it is still raw. Trust builds slowly and is rarely given back once broken. Even among the people closest to them, this Moon is likely to need real privacy.
For Mikis, 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.
With Venus in Virgo, Mikis is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Mikis 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 Capricorn
15° Capricorn 16' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Mikis would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn in Scorpio builds its discipline around trust and control, and for Mikis letting go of either is unlikely to come easily. The doubt is bracing for betrayal even in relationships that have given no reason for it. Comfort with vulnerability can come in the end, and the work it takes is seldom seen by others.
Uranus in Pisces
25° Pisces 09' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Mikis has Uranus in Pisces in common with a generation. That generation transforms spirituality, art and collective imagination, often blurring boundaries that earlier ones kept firm. In one person it may be noticed as an openness to ideas that resist neat categories.
Neptune in Leo
21° Leo 41' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Mikis 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
13° Cancer 39' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Mikis 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 Mikis Theodorakis’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.
Mars conjunction Neptune
about 0.8° at midday
Drive is idealistic and imaginative where Mars meets Neptune, and Mikis Theodorakis is likely to act most powerfully in the service of something they believe in. The energy is inspired. What it wants is a big vision grounded in a plan specific enough to carry out.
Mercury conjunction Venus
about 1.4° at midday
Mercury conjunct Venus ties Mikis's thinking closely to what they love, so they probably talk about affection and beauty with ease. It lends a diplomatic, pleasant way of putting things, especially when the subject is close to the heart.
Jupiter opposition Pluto
about 1.6° at midday
In this opposition, the urge to expand outward meets a need to control the process so tightly that it limits the very growth being sought. When Mikis loosens their grip on the outcome, the opportunity itself tends to get through.
Sun square Saturn
about 2.1° at midday
With the Sun square Saturn, confidence meets resistance, often in the form of self-doubt or an authority figure whose approval feels hard to win. When Mikis pushes through it anyway, the achievement means more because it was tested.
Saturn trine Pluto
about 5.8° at midday
Discipline and the capacity for transformation work together under Saturn trine Pluto, so Mikis 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?
