Serge Gainsbourg’s birth chart

Serge Gainsbourg's full reading

Each planet by sign. First-draft readings in the StarMap voice, reviewed by our consulting astrologer before launch.

1. ☉Sun in Aries

   ♈ 12° Aries 30'

   purpose and vitality

   Their sense of purpose comes alive when there is a clear start line. They feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though their energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. It shows up as the project they launch with excitement and then hand off once the routine sets in.

2. ☽Moon in Virgo

   ♍ 12° Virgo 37'

   needs and habits

   Their habits run toward order, and a messy space or an unfinished list unsettles their mood more than most people would guess. Serge is calmed by small, useful tasks. The tension is turning self-care into another chore to get right instead of something they actually enjoy.

3. ☿Mercury in Pisces

   ♓ 17° Pisces 06'

   mind and voice

   They think in images and impressions more than straight lines, and they communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. The tension is struggling to explain a conclusion they nonetheles feel certain about. It shows up as knowing something is off before they can say why.

4. ♀Venus in Pisces

   ♓ 18° Pisces 51'

   love and values

   They love without much guard, and they value emotional and even spiritual connection over anything practical. The tension is idealising a partner before they have really seen them. It shows up as giving generously to relationships and struggling to notice when Serge is giving more than Serge is getting.

5. ♂Mars in Aquarius

   ♒ 26° Aquarius 05'

   drive and anger

   They act on principle, and their anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. The tension is detaching from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. It shows up as arguing the issue with real heat while staying strangely calm about the relationship itself.

6. ♃Jupiter in Aries

   ♈ 15° Aries 33'

   growth and excess

   They grow through bold, direct action and taking the first step before they feel fully ready. The overreach is starting more than they can realistically finish. It shows up as a burst of confidence that gets a new venture off the ground, whether or not the groundwork is fully in place.

7. ♄Saturn in Sagittarius

   ♐ 19° Sagittarius 06' ℞

   discipline and doubt

   They build discipline around belief and meaning, often after an early experience that made a big worldview feel naive or unsafe to hold. The doubt shows up as hedging their convictions in front of people who might challenge them. It shows up as becoming, over time, a credible voice on the very questions they once felt unsure they had any right to answer.

8. ♅Uranus in Aries

   ♈ 3° Aries 53'

   freedom, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this multi-year span, this placement marks a generation that pushes for change through direct, individual action rather than waiting for permission. Personally, it can show up as an impatience with slow-moving institutions that older generations built.

9. ♆Neptune in Leo

   ♌ 26° Leo 42' ℞

   imagination, generational

   Shared by everyone born in this span of years, this placement marks a generation that dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. Personally, it can show up as a pull toward performance as a way of feeling real.

10. ♇Pluto in Cancer

    ♋ 14° Cancer 59'

    power, generational

    Shared across this generation, this placement marks people who live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. Personally, it can show up as intensity around questions of belonging and who counts as family.

Aspects

How the planets in Serge Gainsbourg's chart talk to each other, tightest first.

1. Venus square Saturn

   0.2° applying

   Their desire for closeness can meet a fear that Serge is not quite enough to keep it, showing up as self-doubt in relationships that have given they no real reason for it. Each time they let themselves be loved without earning it first, that fear eases.

2. Jupiter square Pluto

   0.6° separating

   Their ambitions can turn into a struggle for control over outcomes that were never fully yours to control. The lesson is aiming that considerable drive at transformation rather than domination, which tends to produce a result that actually lasts.

3. Mars opposition Neptune

   0.6° applying

   They feel a pull between direct action and a tendency to lose momentum in doubt or an unclear picture of what they actually want. Getting specific about the goal, even roughly, tends to restore the energy that vagueness drains.

4. Mercury conjunction Venus

   1.8° applying

   Their thinking and their sense of what they love are closely linked, so they talk about affection and beauty with real ease. This gives they a naturally diplomatic, pleasant way of expressing themselves, especially when the subject is close to their heart.
