Edith Piaf — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1915-12-19 (time unknown) · Paris, France
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography cites her civil birth certificate for the date and the hospital, but neither that article nor the French-language account of the same document quotes an hour of birth.
French singer known for La Vie en rose, Non, je ne regrette rien and Hymne a l'amour. Her birth date and place come from the civil birth register, which places the birth at the Hopital Tenon rather than on the pavement of the rue de Belleville as popular accounts have it. The register entry consulted here does not supply an hour.
Reading the chart
Sagittarius Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Jupiter carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
Fire is the leading element (53% weighted), while air is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Mutable modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is adapting — adjusting and redistributing energy.
Sun at 26°31′ Sagittarius: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates expansively, candidly, aimed at the far horizon — the keynote is meaning.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 58.4917° → 70.3866° (Taurus → Gemini).
Sun conjunction Mercury (orb 1°57′, separating): Sun and Mercury fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Mercury trine Mars (orb 0°25′, applying): Mercury and Mars flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Sun trine Mars (orb 2°22′, applying): Sun and Mars flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
