Romain Gary’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Romain Gary was born on Thursday, 21 May 1914, in Vilnius, Lithuania. That made Romain a Taurus, with the Moon in Aries. Romain died on 2 December 1980, aged 66. 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 six air, two fire, one earth and one water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is two, four and four. Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto all fall in Gemini. Closest of the aspects is the opposition between Mars and Uranus, about 1.6° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus was retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds nine other people born on 21 May, among them Mario Mandžukić, The Notorious B.I.G. and Masato Morishige. Wikidata links Romain with one person in the dataset: Jean Seberg (listed as spouses in Wikidata, marriage ended in 1970).

Romain Gary’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 29° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Romain Gary than novelty, and people tend to trust someone who does not change their mind for show. The growth edge is letting go before something stops working.
Moon sign
Aries
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
With the Moon in Aries, Romain 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 Vilnius, Lithuania, at each hour of the day.
Romain Gary’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Romain 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 May 1914, computed for Vilnius, Lithuania.

Romain Gary’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Romain Gary’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Romain Gary's vitality probably runs slow and steady rather than in bursts. The drawback is a reluctance to change course even when the plan is clearly not working. People with this Sun can stay in one job or one home long after part of them knows it is time to move.
The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Romain, 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.
Romain's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Romain probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
Mars in Leo acts with confidence and wants the effort to be visible, and for Romain 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 Aquarius
21° Aquarius 36' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Romain may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Romain that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Aquarius
11° Aquarius 36' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Romain'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
25° Cancer 58' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Romain 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
29° Gemini 52' at midday
power, generational
Romain 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 Romain Gary’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 opposition Uranus
about 1.6° at midday
When Romain Gary acts on their own terms, it can bring them up against people or systems that expect the usual process to be followed; this opposition lives in that clash. Rebellion chosen deliberately, moment by moment, tends to serve them better than a reaction to every restriction.
Venus trine Jupiter
about 2.6° at midday
Affection and a sense of plenty reinforce each other in Romain's chart, and the result is a warm, easy generosity in relationships. With this trine, goodwill in love and friendship tends to be given freely and returned in kind, without much forcing on either side.
Jupiter trine Saturn
about 2.9° at midday
Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Romain pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.
Sun sextile Neptune
about 3.5° at midday
Creativity and empathy are there when Romain makes room for them, because identity and imagination work gently together in this aspect. The sensitivity is soft, and people notice it without it having to be announced.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 4.9° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Romain's sense of self and way of thinking are fused, so an opinion can feel like a statement of who they are. They are likely to speak their mind readily, and telling a passing thought apart from their identity is a practice worth keeping up.
Venus conjunction Saturn
about 5.5° at midday
Venus conjunct Saturn describes a serious, committed way of loving, and Romain is likely to treat a relationship as something to build, not simply to enjoy. Loyalty comes with it. So does the harder task of trusting that affection can be deserved before it has been worked for.
