Analysis of Jean Dujardin's astrological chart

With his lightness and his very Gemini sense of buffoonery, it is most likely that Jean Dujardin has astonished many people by becoming the second French actor who earned an Oscar for the film The Artist!

He became known with the series Un gars, une fille (A boy, a girl), based on the couple's daily trials and tribulations, then with the off-the-wall Brice de Nice, and two comic screen adaptations of movies featuring the secret agent OSS 117. Dujardin was believed to be fit for a career of a good actor gifted for comedy, but nothing more. Therefore, he probably needed some degree of good luck to give his career the dimension we all know today. What is certain is that, once he was in the limelight, his natal chart contained all the power required to ensure outstanding success.

To begin with, the fact that he is a Gemini on two counts – Sun sign and Ascendant – precludes all ambiguous interpretations of his personality. Appearances match the reality: Jean Dujardin is mobile, multifaceted, with a dark but accessible humour; at times unstable and behaving like an adolescent. It is necessary to precise that the Ascendant axis is tightly surrounded by, on the one hand, Venus, still in the 12th House, and on the other hand, by a bright Sun in the 1st House, which endows him with charisma and magnetism. Undeniably, Jean Dujardin is driven by an inner strength and a willpower which give him the desire and the capacity to rise from the ranks.

Owing to her position conjunct the Ascendant axis, Venus is one of the dominants of the chart, and provides Dujardin with the appeal he exploits so well. It's all right to make people laugh, all categories of audience taken together, but if at the same time he can win them over all-out, it's even better! Since Venus is connected with the arts, it is not surprising that Dujardin took his high school examination in philosophy – the planet in Gemini inclines towards intellectual activities – and in plastic arts.

Furthermore, like many people having the Sun in the third sign, he tried his hand at various jobs: he started as a locksmith in his father's company, because with the sign of Cancer tenanted by Mars, and especially by Mercury, Jean Dujardin has a developed sense of family. He is clever; he has the keys, both literally and figuratively!

Mercury is of utmost importance since he rules the chart and the Sun. He forms an exact square (tense aspect) with Uranus, which increases Dujardin's instability and independence of mind. It is mainly through his mental structures that he can change radically. Besides, in the field of dissonances, let us add the T-square – a highly potent pattern – linking the Ascendant, the Sun, and Venus to Pluto conjunct the Moon, and lastly to Jupiter. Therefore, we can deduce that despite his urge to experience success, his life is not devoid of clashes and of uncertainties. Thus, his family circle is impacted, because the influence of Pluto alters the sweet Moon in Libra. Once again, this suggests impulses for transformation and cravings for metamorphosis which disrupt or revitalise the entire chart.

As for Jupiter, his joviality and his angular position in the 7th House confirms that Dujardin's aptitude to establish contacts is remarkable: it seldom happens that French actors strike up a friendship with George Clooney or Brad Pitt the way Jean Dujardin did. For the sake of nuance, let us say that his Jupiter, supportive in many respects, brings about a propensity for exaggeration, even though the planet does illustrate the fact that Jean Dujardin managed to attract top partners in Hollywood.

Incidentally, Jupiter being associated with foreign matters, it is logical that it was in America that Dujardin succeeded in such a resounding manner. Notwithstanding his lack of command of the English language, this man with the Sun in Gemini is able to adjust to anything, and knew how to put up a nice face rapidly.

To carry on the analysis of this interesting period which climaxed on 26 February 2012 when Dujardin earned the statuette with The Artist, let us look at the transits at that time. Transiting Neptune, a crucial planet for... artists, precisely, was culminating on the Midheaven, the area symbolising recognition and career. Since it is in Aquarius, we find an additional tie with the cinema and new technologies. Simultaneously, a very powerful Pluto was reaching his Jupiter on the Descendant, proving that he managed to "play the game" of the most influential decision-makers in Hollywood.

What about the future? It seems that for the moment Jean Dujardin prefers to enjoy private events. The media announce that he may have another child with the lady he has been living with for two years, the skater Nathalie Pechalat. In the summer of 2016, Jupiter transiting the natal Pluto-Moon conjunction may confirm a family enlargement, and projects to transform the home. He will have to be careful, once more, not to overdo when this Jupiter will transit his Uranus by the end of 2016.
