Emma Watson is an English actress, born in Paris. She won the part of Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) with only school plays behind her, and she played the role in all eight Harry Potter films, through 2011. Beyond the series she appeared in My Week with Marilyn (2011), The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), The Bling Ring and This Is the End (both 2013), and Noah (2014). She studied at Brown University and graduated in English literature in 2014. She later played Belle in Beauty and the Beast (2017) and Meg March in Little Women (2019).
Her own website, and a Paris record
The Astro-Databank note reads: "Rolf Liefeld quotes Watson's website, which states: "Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born … at 6.00pm on 15th April, 1990 in Paris, France."" A second line says "Lepoivre quoted bc, Paris 14," a birth record quoted from Paris, and the entry earns AA.
The table holds no second hour. France was on summer time in April 1990, two hours ahead of Greenwich.

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us, Paris, France, Central European Summer Time (UTC+2).
A Moon 0°21′ short of the IC, trine the Sun
The Moon at 25°53′ of Sagittarius lies 0°21′ short of the IC, the chart's deepest point. Astrologers give a planet this close to an angle extra weight, and the IC points to roots and private ground. The Moon falls in the 3rd house by Placidus and the 4th by Whole Sign.
It trines the Sun, 0°28′ from exact, two fire signs, inner mood and outward drive leaning the same way. The Moon also sextiles Mars at 26°04′ of Aquarius, 0°11′ off, air feeding the fire, and it had entered Sagittarius 52.2 hours before the birth.

Aries Sun in the 8th house, squared by Saturn
The Sun at 25°25′ of Aries stands in the 8th house whichever system is used, a house the tradition ties to depth and change. Mars at 26°04′ sextiles it, 0°39′ off.
Saturn at 25°02′ of Capricorn squares the Sun, 0°23′ from exact. With both signs cardinal, the pair suggests drive meeting discipline, each setting a limit on the other.

Virgo in the east, with its ruler Mercury trine Neptune
Virgo held the Paris horizon from 3:32 p.m. until 6:16 p.m., and she was born 148 minutes into that stretch, with the ascendant at 27°00′ Virgo. The tradition pairs Virgo rising with a careful, exact first impression.
Its ruler Mercury stands at 14°38′ of Taurus, which Placidus counts as the 8th house and Whole Sign as the 9th. It trines Neptune at 14°34′ of Capricorn, 0°03′ off, nearest to exact of all her aspects. An earth trine like this suggests thought working toward practical form.

Gemini overhead, and Jupiter high in Cancer
The midheaven is 26°13′ Gemini, with Gemini there from 4:09 p.m. A Gemini midheaven points toward a working life of words and quick exchange, and its ruler is Mercury once more.
Jupiter at 4°34′ of Cancer is in the 10th house, the one for public standing, if Placidus is used. Whole Sign moves it to the 11th, which belongs to friends and allies.

Three Capricorn planets, and Venus sextile Uranus
Capricorn holds Saturn at 25°02′, with retrograde Uranus (9°35′) and Neptune (14°34′) beside it, all in one house: the 4th for Placidus and the 5th for Whole Sign. Uranus and Neptune move slowly, so many people born around 1990 have them in the same sign.
Venus at 9°44′ of Pisces sextiles Uranus, 0°08′ off, the second tightest aspect here. Five of the ten planets sit in cardinal signs, the ones that begin things: the Sun, Jupiter and the three in Capricorn.
