Pierre Richard’s birth chart
Born 16 August 1934, in Valenciennes, France. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Leo Sun · Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Pierre Richard’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
16 August 1934 was a Thursday: the day Pierre Richard was born in Valenciennes, France. That makes Pierre a Leo. The Moon changed sign at about 08:50, from Libra to Scorpio; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Pierre turns 92 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Pierre, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
By element the count is three water, two fire, two earth and two air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is four cardinal, four fixed and one mutable. Venus, Mars and Pluto all fall in Cancer. Closest of the aspects is the square between Mars and Jupiter, about 1.7° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 16 August, among them Madonna, James Cameron and Charles Bukowski.

Pierre Richard’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 22° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Pierre Richard 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
Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 08:50, then Scorpio (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 08:50: Moon in Libra
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Pierre, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Born after about 08:50: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Pierre 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 Valenciennes, France, at each hour of the day.
Pierre Richard’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 16 August 1934, computed for Valenciennes, France.

Pierre Richard’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Pierre Richard’s private life.
Purpose for Pierre Richard 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.
Moon in Libra or Scorpio
Libra until about 08:50, then Scorpio
needs and habits
Born before about 08:50: 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 Pierre'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.
Born after about 08:50: Moon in Scorpio
For Pierre, 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.
Mercury in Leo gives Pierre 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 Pierre more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.
Venus in Cancer loves by nurturing, and for Pierre that suggests valuing emotional safety over almost anything else in a relationship. Old hurts tend to linger here long after the person who caused them has changed. This is a Venus that feeds people, checks on people and quietly keeps score of who has shown up in return.
Mars in Cancer acts to protect the people and things that matter, and its anger is usually about feeling hurt more than feeling wronged. The habit to watch, for Pierre, may be going quiet or indirect instead of naming the upset. Other people tend to notice a shift of mood and take a while to trace it back to its cause.
Jupiter in Libra
19° Libra 12' at midday
growth and excess
In Pierre's chart, Jupiter in Libra suggests growth through partnership and a gift for bringing people together. Excess here looks like pleasing people so broadly that every expectation becomes a commitment. Someone with this Jupiter is often the connector whose introductions and events other people benefit from more than they realise.
With Saturn in Aquarius, Pierre's discipline probably gathers around belonging to a group on their own terms; it is the placement of the one-time outsider. The doubt means holding back the stranger ideas until there is no risk of mockery. The outsider often ends up as a trusted voice in exactly the kind of community that once seemed unlikely to accept them.
Uranus in Taurus
1° Taurus 25' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Pierre shares with many people born within a few years. That generation rethinks ownership, land and what security means, often through technology that unsettles older arrangements. Personally, that may be a reluctance to prize things simply because an older generation did.
Neptune in Virgo
11° Virgo 23' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Pierre shares its place in Virgo with people born years either side. The imagination of this generation turns towards service, craft and idealised routines of self-improvement. In one life it can mean chasing an impossibly perfect daily practice.
Pluto in Cancer
25° Cancer 04' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Pierre 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 Pierre Richard’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 square Jupiter
about 1.7° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Pierre Richard 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.
Sun opposition Saturn
about 2.1° at midday
With the Sun opposite Saturn, Pierre is likely to find that asserting who they are brings them up against the caution, rules or authority figures that seem to stand in the way. Working through that tension builds a confidence that does not need everyone's approval to hold steady.
Venus square Uranus
about 2.9° at midday
In Pierre'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 conjunction Pluto
about 3.5° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Pierre is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Sun sextile Jupiter
about 3.7° at midday
Optimism is part of who Pierre is, and it tends to show them open doors, provided they are willing to walk through. With some deliberate effort behind it, the outlook of a Sun-Jupiter sextile becomes momentum that carries past the first burst of enthusiasm.
Mars conjunction Pluto
about 4.2° at midday
With Mars conjunct Pluto, drive tends to be intense and relentless, and once Pierre is committed to something they are likely to see it through whatever the cost. There is staying power to spare, so the art is in choosing battles, and keeping that intensity away from the ones that do not deserve it.
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.
