Yannick Noah’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Yannick Noah was born on Wednesday, 18 May 1960, in Sedan, France. That makes Yannick a Taurus. The Moon changed sign at about 02:25, from Aquarius to Pisces; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Yannick turns 66 in 2026. StarMap has no verified birth time for Yannick, so the chart is cast for midday and leaves the houses out.
Earth carries the most weight: six of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, against fire two, water one and air none. Fixed signs hold five, cardinal signs three and mutable signs one. Sun, Mercury and Venus all fall in Taurus. Closest of the aspects is the trine between Venus and Saturn, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from last quarter to waning crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 12 other people born on 18 May, among them Tina Fey, Ricardo Carvalho and Yuya Osako.

Yannick Noah’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Taurus
about 27° Taurus at midday
A Taurus Sun builds. Comfort, steadiness and things that last probably matter more to Yannick Noah 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 or Pisces
Aquarius until about 02:25, then Pisces (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 02:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon feels from a step back. Yannick 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.
Born after about 02:25: Moon in Pisces
With the Moon in Pisces, Yannick may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.
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 Sedan, France, at each hour of the day.
Yannick Noah’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Yannick 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 May 1960, computed for Sedan, France.

Yannick Noah’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Yannick Noah’s private life.
A Taurus Sun finds purpose in building something that lasts, and Yannick Noah'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.
Moon in Aquarius or Pisces
Aquarius until about 02:25, then Pisces
needs and habits
Born before about 02:25: Moon in Aquarius
An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Yannick 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.
Born after about 02:25: Moon in Pisces
The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Yannick more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.
With Mercury in Taurus, Yannick 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 Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Yannick's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.
For Yannick, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.
Jupiter in Capricorn
2° Capricorn 24' at midday ℞
growth and excess
Jupiter in Capricorn grows through long-term discipline, and Yannick would probably rather build slowly and properly than quickly. The overreach is taking on more responsibility than any one person should reasonably carry. The authority this Jupiter brings is slow and hard-won, the kind people tend to trust more the longer they know someone.
Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Yannick, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.
Uranus in Leo
17° Leo 11' at midday
freedom, generational
Yannick shares Uranus in Leo with a generation, one that redefines self-expression and individuality, often through forms of creativity and visibility that were not available before. Closer to home, it suggests being comfortable with being seen in ways older relatives find unfamiliar.
Neptune in Scorpio
7° Scorpio 13' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Scorpio marks a long season that Yannick 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
3° Virgo 35' at midday
power, generational
Pluto in Virgo is shared by Yannick 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 Yannick Noah’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.
Venus trine Saturn
about 0.1° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Yannick Noah, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
Venus square Uranus
about 0.8° at midday
In Yannick's chart the desire for closeness and the need for freedom can work against each other, and this square is known for sudden shifts in an otherwise good relationship. The remedy is to build enough independence into the relationship that none has to be created by pulling away.
Sun conjunction Mercury
about 1.0° at midday
With the Sun conjunct Mercury, Yannick'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.
Jupiter trine Pluto
about 1.2° at midday
In this trine, Yannick'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.
Mars square Jupiter
about 3.0° at midday
Drive can outrun capacity under Mars square Jupiter, and Yannick may overextend on a project or on a promise made in a burst of confidence. The enthusiasm is sound. It needs matching to a pace that can be sustained.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 4.8° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Yannick's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
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.
