Rachel Griffiths’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
18 December 1968 was a Wednesday: the day Rachel Griffiths was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. That makes Rachel a Sagittarius. The Moon changed sign at about 08:30, from Scorpio to Sagittarius; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Rachel turns 58 in 2026. 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 fire, two earth and one water, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. By modality the count is five cardinal, two fixed and two mutable. Mars, Jupiter and Uranus all fall in Libra. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Jupiter and Uranus: a conjunction, about 0.5° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Saturn. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 20 other people born on 18 December, among them Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt and Christina Aguilera. Casper Van Dien was born on the very same day.

Rachel Griffiths’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Sagittarius
about 26° Sagittarius at midday
A Sagittarius Sun seeks. Meaning, distance and the bigger picture are likely to pull Rachel Griffiths 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
Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 08:30, then Sagittarius (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 08:30: Moon in Scorpio
The Moon in Scorpio feels everything and shows little. For Rachel 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.
Born after about 08:30: Moon in Sagittarius
A Sagittarius Moon feels best in motion. Open roads, new ideas and honest laughter probably lift Rachel, and being fenced in by other people's moods tends to weigh them down. This Moon needs room, and someone who thinks that is fine.
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 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, at each hour of the day.
Rachel Griffiths’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Rachel 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 18 December 1968, computed for Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Rachel Griffiths’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Rachel Griffiths’s private life.
Growth, travel and ideas bigger than daily life are where Rachel Griffiths'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.
Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius
Scorpio until about 08:30, then Sagittarius
needs and habits
Born before about 08:30: Moon in Scorpio
For Rachel, 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.
Born after about 08:30: Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon in Sagittarius needs room to move and a bit of novelty in its routine to feel right. A schedule with no give in it can make Rachel edgy faster than most people expect. With this Moon, the next trip tends to be planned before the current one has finished.
Mercury in Capricorn thinks methodically, and Rachel tends to communicate in a measured, practical way that people trust. The focus on a useful conclusion can be so strong that ideas which have not yet proven their worth are dismissed. Rachel will often get straight to the point in a conversation other people expected to be casual.
Venus in Aquarius loves as a friend first, and values independence, shared ideas and a partner who allows plenty of room. Rachel may keep just enough distance that closeness feels slightly out of reach, even to them. This Venus can prize a partner's individuality more than the intimacy between them.
In Rachel's chart, Mars in Libra acts diplomatically and prefers negotiation to confrontation, and its anger tends to stay buried until it is too big to ignore. Avoided consistently, conflict leaves resentment building underneath the calm surface. The pattern is saying yes to something that rankled, then feeling it later.
Jupiter in Libra
4° Libra 20' at midday
growth and excess
In Rachel'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.
Saturn in Aries builds discipline around learning to act with patience instead of pure impulse. For Rachel, that suggests a doubt that takes the form of second-guessing: too fast, or not fast enough? Confidence in their own initiative tends to come slowly, once the rush goes out of every decision.
Uranus in Libra
3° Libra 47' at midday
freedom, generational
Rachel holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Scorpio
27° Scorpio 19' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Rachel shares with many people of a similar age. Its imagination is drawn to the hidden, the taboo and the transformative, with a wider cultural fascination for secrets and endings. In an individual that can be a pull towards mystery for its own sake.
Pluto in Virgo
25° Virgo 05' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Rachel and many people born in the same span of years. That generation lives through deep change in work, in how services are organised, and in daily life itself. In one person that can be intensity around control, order and how much any one system can carry.
Aspects in Rachel Griffiths’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 conjunction Uranus
about 0.5° at midday
Growth comes suddenly and by unconventional routes with Jupiter conjunct Uranus, and Rachel Griffiths is likely to be drawn to opportunities that break from the expected path. Openness to change is the strength. Following through on one bold idea before moving on to the next is the discipline.
Sun square Pluto
about 1.1° at midday
With this aspect, Rachel's identity can get entangled in struggles over control, whether inwardly or with people who challenge them. Whenever Rachel chooses to change rather than to dominate, the friction turns into hard-won strength they can rely on the next time things get difficult.
Mercury square Uranus
about 1.4° at midday
With Mercury square Uranus, the mind can jump so quickly that other people struggle to follow, or Rachel may dismiss a slower approach that had merit. A good idea, paced, gives other people the chance to use it.
Mercury square Jupiter
about 2.0° at midday
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Rachel can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
Sun sextile Mars
about 3.1° at midday
Rachel's identity and energy work together, giving them an easy confidence that is there when they decide to use it. With this aspect, taking the initiative comes more naturally than might be expected, especially when the stakes are theirs to own.
Mars opposition Saturn
about 4.5° at midday
Mars opposite Saturn can set Rachel's wish to act against a fear of being blocked or criticised for it, and the result may be frustration with anything that slows them down. Working steadily around an obstacle usually gets further than fighting it head on.
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?
