What the chart says
Ada, according to the stars
Core essence
Ada is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Ada is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
How Ada wants to be loved
Ada wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Ada even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Ada creates
How Ada makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Ada creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Ada is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Ada is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Ada leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Ada gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunBlunt, cheerful, gone by morning.
Ada Lovelace's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of December 10, 1815, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Wood Pig
Wood PigGenerous to the last coin.
Ada Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815, which falls in a Wood Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Leads because nobody else moved.
Ada Lovelace's birth date, December 10, 1815, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Ada’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ada Lovelace's date-only chart is Venus conjunction Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Neptune, sit together in Sagittarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Ada Lovelace combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Storyteller.
Ada’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ada Lovelace, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 29° to 11° Pisces or Aries depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Ada’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironPisces 9°23′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Ada absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresLibra 9°44′ (moves 0.35° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. Ada is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.
♡ ErosAquarius 6°19′ (moves 0.56° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Ada is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ HygieaLibra or Scorpio during this date
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Ada is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 3°60′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Ada is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Ceres trine Saturn 1.2°
- Eros sextile Uranus 1.5°
- Chiron square Uranus 1.6°
- Hygiea conjunction Venus 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Jupiter 1.8°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 1.9°
- Eros conjunction Saturn 2.3°
- Hygiea conjunction Jupiter 2.3°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Venus 2.5°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Ada’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ♃ Jupiter9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune; 2 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars4 pts
in its own sign, Aries; 2 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune4 pts
disposes Pluto; 3 major aspects
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Ada is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Ada’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
Stellium in Sagittarius · Sun, Mercury, Uranus, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Mars quintile Saturn 0.2°
- Sun semi-square Jupiter 0.4°
- Mars semi-sextile Pluto 0.5°
- Mercury semi-sextile Venus 1.0°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.1°
- Mercury semi-sextile Jupiter 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Ada Lovelace, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Ada Lovelace, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Ada’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q7259, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.

Quick answers about Ada Lovelace’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Ada Lovelace?
- Ada Lovelace was a Sagittarius: born December 10, 1815, which puts the Sun in Sagittarius for the whole of that day. That is the Western star sign. In the Chinese zodiac they were a Wood Pig.
- What was Ada Lovelace's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Pig, with the Wood element, from the Chinese lunar year of the December 10, 1815 birth.
- What time was Ada Lovelace born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- What was Ada Lovelace's Life Path number?
- Life Path 1, calculated in numerology from the December 10, 1815 birth date.
- What was Ada Lovelace's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Pisces at 9°. Position from JPL Horizons for the December 10, 1815 birth date.
- Where was Ada Lovelace's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Pisces at 3°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Ada Lovelace's dominant planet?
- Jupiter, on AsterNym's dominance score (9 points: rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Uranus, Neptune; 2 major aspects). Mars is second and Neptune third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
