Born 27 April 1935, in Athens, Greece. StarMap has no verified birth time yet.
Taurus Sun · Aquarius Moon
Theo Angelopoulos’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Theo Angelopoulos was born in Athens, Greece, on 27 April 1935, a Saturday. Their zodiac sign was Taurus, with the Moon in Aquarius. Theo died on 24 January 2012, aged 76. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the ten planets, four are in earth signs, three in air and three in water; none is in fire. Fixed signs hold five, mutable signs three and cardinal signs two. Taurus holds a stellium, three planets in one sign: Sun, Mercury and Uranus. The tightest aspect is Sun conjunction Mercury, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Three planets were retrograde: Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 15 other people born on 27 April, among them Anouk Aimée, Eric Schmidt and Dinara Safina.

Theo Angelopoulos’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 6° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Theo Angelopoulos 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
Aquarius
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Theo is likely to understand an emotion better than they inhabit it, and to need space and ideas to process. For this Moon, friends are family and freedom is security.
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 Athens, Greece, at each hour of the day.
Theo Angelopoulos’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Theo 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 27 April 1935, computed for Athens, Greece.

Theo Angelopoulos’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Theo Angelopoulos’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Theo Angelopoulos'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.
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Theo is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.
With Mercury in Taurus, Theo is likely to think slowly and thoroughly, and a conclusion once reached is rarely revisited without good reason. The communication style is plain and practical rather than showy. A new idea that clashes with what they already believe may have to wait a while for a hearing.
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. Theo 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.
In Theo'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 Scorpio
20° Scorpio 00' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Scorpio grows by facing what is difficult rather than avoiding it, even when that is the harder road at the time. The overreach, for Theo, may be an intensity that turns a manageable situation into an all-consuming one. The resilience tends to be noticed only after the hard part is over.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Theo, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Taurus
1° Taurus 42' at midday
freedom, generational
Uranus in Taurus is a generational placement that Theo 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 58' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune moves slowly, so Theo 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
23° Cancer 55' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Theo 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 Theo Angelopoulos’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.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 0.1° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Theo Angelopoulos'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 square Neptune
about 1.2° at midday
Under Venus square Neptune, affection can blur into an idealised picture of love, and disappointment follows when a real person or relationship falls short of the dream. Theo's task is to love what is there, which tends to prove more durable than loving the fantasy.
Sun sextile Saturn
about 1.6° at midday
Steady, unglamorous effort is likely to feel worthwhile to Theo rather than draining, because it fits their sense of who they are. Consistency probably comes more easily to them than they give themselves credit for, especially once they stop waiting for permission to claim it.
Mercury sextile Saturn
about 1.7° at midday
Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Theo's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 3.9° at midday
In this trine, Theo's optimism and capacity for transformation feed each other, and the combination can give them the power to turn a big vision into lasting change. The growth it brings tends to be deep as well as broad, which is why the bigger changes usually stick.
Saturn opposition Neptune
about 4.1° at midday
Grounded, practical planning sits opposite a tendency towards doubt, or disillusionment about whether the effort is worth it, and Theo is likely to know both. Checking in with the original inspiration, and not only with the workload, tends to restore the balance.

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?
