Paco de Lucía’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Paco de Lucía was born in Algeciras, Spain, on 21 December 1947, a Sunday. That made Paco a Sagittarius, with the Moon in Aries. Paco died on 25 February 2014, aged 66. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Fire carries the most weight: six of the ten planets, against earth two, air two and water none. By modality the count is five mutable, three cardinal and two fixed. Sagittarius holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Closest of the aspects is the sextile between Jupiter and Neptune, exact to a tenth of a degree. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn, Uranus and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from first quarter to waxing gibbous.
StarMap's dataset holds 16 other people born on 21 December, among them Mikheil Saakashvili, Jane Fonda and Heinrich Böll.

Paco de Lucía’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 28° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Paco de Lucía forward, and the honesty of this placement is a kind of generosity. Its lesson is that the journey also needs somewhere to land.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Paco is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.
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 Algeciras, Spain, at each hour of the day.
Paco de Lucía’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Paco 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 21 December 1947, computed for Algeciras, Spain.

Paco de Lucía’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Paco de Lucía’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Paco de Lucía's Sagittarius Sun finds purpose, and their energy tends to lift the moment there is somewhere new to go. Familiarity is what wears on this placement. A few months into any routine, however good it is, restlessness usually sets in.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Paco, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.
Paco's Mercury in Sagittarius thinks in big, connective leaps and communicates with enthusiasm and a wide frame of reference drawn from everywhere they have been. The weak point is generalising past what the details support. A specific question may get a sweeping theory nobody quite asked for.
For Paco, Venus in Capricorn means loving in a measured, committed way and valuing stability, ambition and someone to build a life with. The trap is treating a relationship like a project to manage rather than let unfold. With this Venus, love comes out more easily as providing and planning than as words said out loud.
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, Paco is more likely to criticise than to confront. A clipped tone often signals frustration well before anything is said directly.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 50' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Paco 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.
Saturn in Leo builds discipline around self-expression, and in Paco'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 Gemini
23° Gemini 56' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Gemini is shared by Paco and many people born in the same few years. These are people who come of age alongside a revolution in communication, fluent in tools older generations learned later in life. The personal version is a restless need for new information.
Neptune in Libra
12° Libra 49' at midday
imagination, generational
A whole generation has Neptune in Libra, Paco among them. It idealises romantic partnership, often shaped by images of love on screen that outpace real relationships. The personal echo is a dreamy standard for what a relationship should feel like.
Pluto in Leo
14° Leo 41' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Leo is held by a whole generation, one that transforms ideas of individual power, leadership and fame. At a personal scale, for Paco, it can be a charged relationship with authority and with who gets to hold the spotlight.
Aspects in Paco de Lucía’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.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 0.0° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Paco de Lucía's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Mercury trine Saturn
about 1.0° at midday
Paco's thinking has discipline behind it, which gives them a clear, methodical way of working through ideas. With Mercury trine Saturn, conclusions can be trusted because they have usually been tested already, often more thoroughly than anyone nearby realises.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 1.5° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Paco a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 1.8° at midday
In this trine, Paco's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Mercury opposition Uranus
about 2.6° at midday
With Mercury opposite Uranus, Paco's unconventional ideas meet other people's fixed positions, which can turn a good insight into an unnecessary standoff. Presenting the idea as an option rather than a challenge tends to land better.
Sun opposition Uranus
about 4.8° at midday
With the Sun opposite Uranus, Paco's loyalty to their own path tends to bring them into collision with people or situations that expect conformity. Learning to be themselves without needing the collision gives them a quieter, more durable kind of independence.
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?
