So, I actually spent some time looking into Timothee Chalamet’s birth chart a while back. Not the kind of thing I’d normally dive into, you know, but there was a reason.
First off, finding his birthday was a piece of cake: December 27, 1995. Classic Capricorn, that much was clear. But then came the real headache – the exact birth time. If you know anything about these charts, or even if you don’t, that birth time is apparently super crucial. It determines the rising sign, or ascendant, which is a big deal in astrological circles.
I remember going down a bit of a rabbit hole online. Sifting through fan pages, astrology forums, you name it. One site would claim one time, another would have something completely different. It made me think that a lot of this celebrity birth time stuff is probably just a good guess, or one person said it once and everyone else just ran with it. It’s not like his mom is posting his birth certificate online, right?
Anyway, I eventually just picked the most frequently mentioned time I could find, just so I had something to plug into one of those free online chart generator tools. Typed in the date, the (supposed) time, and the place of birth. And up popped this wheel, full of symbols and lines. Capricorn Sun, we knew that. His Moon, I think, ended up being in Pisces with the time I used. And the rising sign, if memory serves, was Aquarius. It all looked very complicated, to be honest.
But honestly, why was I even bothering with all this?
It wasn’t because I suddenly developed a burning passion for astrology or had a deep need to understand Timothee Chalamet’s cosmic makeup. It was for my friend, Alex. Alex was going through a really tough period. Like, a really, really rough patch – job stress, family stuff, just feeling lost. And Alex got heavily into astrology. It was a comfort, a way to make sense of things, I guess.
And Alex also happened to be a massive Timothee Chalamet fan. So, Alex would talk about how Timothee’s chart explained his acting style, or his public persona, or whatever. And I’d just be sitting there, nodding along, having absolutely no clue what any of it meant. I felt a bit useless, not being able to properly engage, you know?
So, one weekend, I just decided, ‘Right, I’m going to try and figure out the basics of this stuff.’ Not to become an expert, but just so I could understand what Alex was talking about. So I could ask a semi-intelligent question, or at least not look completely blank. That’s why I started poking around Timothee Chalamet’s birth chart. It was a concrete example Alex mentioned often, so it felt like a good starting point for my little project.
I spent a fair few hours reading up on what a Capricorn Sun with a Pisces Moon might mean, or what an Aquarius rising suggests. Trying to get my head around ‘aspects’ and ‘houses’. It felt like trying to learn a new, very niche, language. It wasn’t easy, and I can’t say I retained much of the technical stuff.
Did it convert me into an astrology believer? Not really, no. But the whole exercise, my little ‘practice’ with Timothee’s chart, it did help. When Alex next brought it up, I could say something like, “Oh, the Pisces Moon, is that why they say he might be quite sensitive?” And just seeing Alex’s face light up a bit because I was actually engaging with this thing that was important to them… well, that was the whole point of the exercise. So yeah, my practical journey into Timothee Chalamet’s birth chart was less about the stars and more about trying to be a decent friend.
