Roman Polanski’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Roman Polanski was born on Friday, 18 August 1933, in Paris, France. That makes Roman a Leo, with the Moon in Cancer and Libra rising. Roman turns 93 in 2026. The birth time, 10:30, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of AA, which means it was taken from a birth certificate or birth record.

Of the ten planets, three are in fire signs, three in earth, two in air and two in water. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and three. Three planets stand together in Virgo: Venus, Jupiter and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Sun and Mars: a sextile, exact to a tenth of a degree. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waning crescent.

StarMap's dataset holds 19 other people born on 18 August, among them Robert Redford, Edward Norton and Patrick Swayze. Just Fontaine was born on the very same day. Wikidata links Roman with two people in the dataset: Sharon Tate (married from 1968 until 1969) and Emmanuelle Seigner (married in 1989).

Roman Polanski’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Leo

24° Leo 58'

A Leo Sun shines. For Roman Polanski 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.

Cancer

22° Cancer 27'

The Moon is at home in Cancer. For Roman that points to feelings that are tidal, strong and closely tied to the people they love, and to a memory for how everything felt. This Moon is restored by home, by cooking, and by being needed.

Libra

Roman Polanski’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Roman Polanski’s private life.

  1. Sun in Leo

    24° Leo 58' · eleventh house

    purpose and vitality

    Purpose for Roman Polanski 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.

    The Sun in the eleventh house means Roman finds themselves through friendships and the causes they throw their weight behind, more than through solitary achievement. Roman is at their best inside a group with a shared purpose, and being cut off from that kind of company can dim their spark.

  2. Moon in Cancer

    22° Cancer 27' · tenth house

    needs and habits

    With the Moon in Cancer, Roman's needs tend to be tied to home, routine and the people they check in on daily. Small rituals are steadying: a particular meal, a particular chair. The tension is reading other people's moods so closely that those moods can be taken on without noticing.

    With the Moon in the tenth house, Roman's emotional security may be tangled up with how work is going and whether it is respected. A setback at work can land harder on someone with this placement than it appears to from the outside.

  3. Mercury in Leo

    6° Leo 22' · tenth house

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Leo gives Roman 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 Roman more persuasive than accurate. A simple update, in their hands, can become something closer to a performance.

    With Mercury in the tenth house, Roman is apt to think strategically about reputation and the next move at work, and to turn a plan over privately long before anyone else knows it exists. Clear, well-timed communication may be the skill this placement leans on most.

  4. Venus in Virgo

    26° Virgo 14' · twelfth house

    love and values

    With Venus in Virgo, Roman is likely to love through small, practical acts of service and to value competence and reliability in a partner. People with this Venus tend to be hardest on those they love most, and can mistake giving notes for giving care. They may try to fix a partner's problem before simply listening to it.

    Venus in the twelfth house keeps affections private and sometimes idealised, and Roman may feel more deeply than they show to most people. The placement values quiet acts of devotion, done without an audience, over public displays or grand romantic gestures.

  5. Mars in Libra

    24° Libra 58' · first house

    drive and anger

    In Roman'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.

    For Roman, action comes first and thought later, with an energy that is direct, physical and hard to miss when they walk into a room. Someone with Mars in the first house is usually seen as a person who moves the moment a decision is made, rarely one who lingers over it.

  6. Jupiter in Virgo

    25° Virgo 16' · twelfth house

    growth and excess

    Jupiter in Virgo finds its growth in mastering a craft in unglamorous detail, one small correction at a time. For Roman, perfectionism may be the excess, turning growth into an endless list of corrections. People with this Jupiter are often trusted with more responsibility than they feel they deserve, usually because the care in the work shows.

    Roman probably carries a quiet trust that things make sense, and solitude is apt to bring them insight rather than loneliness. With Jupiter in the twelfth house, that trust tends to hold even in the moments when the whole picture cannot yet be seen.

  7. Saturn in Aquarius

    12° Aquarius 06' ℞ · fourth house

    discipline and doubt

    With Saturn in Aquarius, Roman'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.

    Saturn sits in the fourth house of Roman's chart, a placement linked with the weight of home and family responsibility on a person's shoulders, often from early on. With this placement, a stable home is apt to be built by sustained effort, and the security created there tends to mean more because of the work it takes.

  8. Uranus in Aries

    27° Aries 19' ℞ · seventh house

    freedom, generational

    Uranus spends about seven years in each sign, so Roman shares Uranus in Aries with many people of a similar age. It marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. In one life it can appear as impatience with the slow-moving institutions older generations built.

    Uranus in the seventh house asks for relationships with more freedom and less convention than the average partnership, and Roman may look for people who respect that independence. A sudden shift in a relationship may rattle Roman less than most.

  9. Neptune in Virgo

    9° Virgo 21' · eleventh house

    imagination, generational

    Neptune moves slowly, so Roman 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.

    Friendships and causes with an idealistic edge draw Roman, who may hold a vision for their community that reaches well beyond the practical. With Neptune in the eleventh house, disappointment can follow when a group falls short of that vision, even when its effort was sincere.

  10. Pluto in Cancer

    23° Cancer 51' · tenth house

    power, generational

    Pluto in Cancer dates Roman 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.

    Influence may matter more to Roman than surface status, and with Pluto in the tenth house, a working life that stops meaning something may well be reinvented. Pluto here is associated with caring more about public power than public popularity, two things that are easy to confuse.

Aspects in Roman Polanski’s chart

How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.

  1. Sun sextile Mars

    0.0° applying

    Roman Polanski'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.

  2. Venus conjunction Jupiter

    1.0° separating

    Venus conjunct Jupiter tends to make Roman's capacity for love and pleasure generous and expansive, and it usually comes with a warm enjoyment of life. The result is naturally good company; the thing to watch is the point where generosity has quietly become excess.

  3. Mars square Pluto

    1.1° separating

    With Mars square Pluto, Roman's drive can turn into a fight for control, whether the opponent is within them or is someone who resists them. When they redirect that intensity into the work itself, the friction becomes lasting strength.

  4. Moon conjunction Pluto

    1.4° applying

    Emotional life runs deep and private with the Moon conjunct Pluto, and Roman is likely to feel things with an intensity that can surprise even them. The depth is a gift, and the step worth taking is trusting that a feeling can be strong without needing to be hidden completely.

  5. Jupiter sextile Pluto

    1.4° separating

    Meaningful growth without constant upheaval is what Jupiter sextile Pluto describes, with Roman's sense of possibility and depth working in concert. The opportunities that matter tend to come at a manageable pace, not all at once in a way that would be hard to absorb.

  6. Mars opposition Uranus

    2.3° applying

    When Roman 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.

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.
