Jean Cocteau's Birth Chart
Sun in Cancer · Moon in Libra ≈
Jean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, playwright, novelist, designer, film director, visual artist and critic. He was one of the foremost avant-garde artists of the 20th century and highly influential on the Surrealist and Dadaist movements, among others. The National Observer suggested that "of the artistic generation whose daring gave birth to Twentieth Century Art, Cocteau came closest to being a Renaissance man". Wikipedia
Section I · The core
The two luminaries
Two lights set the tone of the whole chart: the Sun, the identity; the Moon, the emotional world.
Jean Cocteau's Sun, in Cancer
Your core is care and protection: memory, shelter and the ability to make a home anywhere. Your life purpose is nourished by belonging, care and emotional memory. Your strength lies in welcoming, protecting and creating spaces where sensitivity is valued.
Jean Cocteau's Moon, in Libra
Your emotional peace depends on harmony around you: conflict weighs on you, beauty repairs you. You project your emotional stability onto your bonds, always seeking mutual understanding and empathy.
Without an exact birth time, the Moon could fall in the neighbouring sign: it changed sign that day.
Section II · The map
Their natal wheel
The sky on the day they were born. The outer ring is the twelve signs; the lines across the centre, the aspects between planets. Without a birth time, houses and the Ascendant aren't drawn.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Jean Cocteau's placements
We compute the placements for the day of birth. Without the exact time the Ascendant and houses can't be fixed, but each planet's sign is reliable.

Jean Cocteau's aspects
Each aspect is an angle between two planets; it defines how they speak to each other. Aspects to the Moon are approximate: they depend on the exact birth time.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
Section IV · The signature
The signature of their sky
The whole at a glance: how the planets are spread, and the accents that set the overall tone of the chart.
Bucket
A group of planets with a single one opposite: that 'handle' planet becomes the channel of the whole chart.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Air and the Cardinal modality.
Moon is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Gemini: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
