Pierre Boulle’s birth chart
Born 20 February 1912, in Avignon, France. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.

Pierre Boulle’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
20 February 1912 was a Tuesday: the day Pierre Boulle was born in Avignon, France. The Sun was in Pisces, so Pisces was their zodiac sign. The Moon left Pisces for Aries at about 19:15 local time, which leaves the Moon sign open without a birth time. Pierre died on 30 January 1994, aged 81. 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 four air, two earth, two water and one fire, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four mutable, three fixed and two cardinal. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Sun and Pluto, about 3.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 20 February, among them Rihanna, Kurt Cobain and Sidney Poitier.

Pierre Boulle’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Pisces
about 0° Pisces at midday
A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Pierre Boulle the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.
Moon sign
Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 19:15, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 19:15: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Pierre may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
Born after about 19:15: Moon in Aries
With the Moon in Aries, Pierre 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 Avignon, France, at each hour of the day.
Pierre Boulle’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Pierre 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 20 February 1912, computed for Avignon, France.

Pierre Boulle’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Pierre Boulle’s private life.
The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Pierre Boulle'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.

Pisces until about 19:15, then Aries
needs and habits
Born before about 19:15: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Pierre more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
Born after about 19:15: Moon in Aries
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Pierre, 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.
In Pierre's chart, Mercury in Aquarius describes thinking that is original and a step removed from convention, and communication that works best through ideas rather than small talk. The stubborn streak is holding a position out of principle after the evidence has moved on. In a group, this is the person who asks the question nobody else thought to ask.
For Pierre, 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.
With Mars in Gemini, Pierre is likely to act through words, argument and quick manoeuvring rather than force, and anger to come out sharp and verbal. Arguments can be won without the conflict underneath ever being resolved. A disagreement can still be under debate long after the other person just wants it to end.
Jupiter in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 53' at midday
growth and excess
With Jupiter in Sagittarius, Pierre 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 Taurus gathers its discipline around security and the things a person relies on, and Pierre is likely to take very little for granted. The doubt is a fear that stability could disappear, even when it clearly has not. This placement likes to know what things cost before committing, and tends to stay careful even in steady times.
Uranus in Aquarius
1° Aquarius 09' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Pierre'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 Cancer
21° Cancer 26' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Pierre 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
27° Gemini 01' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pierre 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 Pierre Boulle’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.
Sun trine Pluto
about 3.5° at midday
Pierre Boulle's sense of self and capacity for change support each other, so they are likely to meet hard periods with resilience and come out of them still themselves. A Sun-Pluto trine is deep strength, and it does not need to be loud.
Venus opposition Neptune
about 4.7° at midday
This opposition sets grounded affection against a tendency to idealise someone beyond anything that person has shown. For Pierre, checking a relationship against plain facts protects the very tenderness that makes the pull so appealing.
Venus conjunction Uranus
about 5.0° at midday
Affection runs independent and a little unpredictable with Venus conjunct Uranus, and Pierre is likely to be drawn to people and situations that keep them interested more than settled. There is romantic excitement in that. The difficulty is letting closeness deepen without the urge to bolt from it.
Mars opposition Jupiter
about 5.1° at midday
Mars opposite Jupiter pits Pierre's own direct action against other people's grander plans or expectations, which can end in overcommitting to someone else's vision. Pierre's own sense of scale is usually a better guide than anyone else's.
Mercury trine Pluto
about 5.4° at midday
Pierre's thinking and depth support each other, which gives them a natural ability to work through complex or hidden material without getting overwhelmed. With Mercury trine Pluto, research and difficult conversations both come easily, and Pierre can stay with a hard subject long after others have looked away.
Mars trine Uranus
about 6.6° at midday
Pierre's drive and originality tend to run together easily, which allows fast, inventive action when a situation calls for something different. Mars trine Uranus can make a bold move look natural, and it is carried off more often than the risk would seem to justify.

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?
