What the chart says
Alan, according to the stars
Core essence
Alan is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Alan is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.
The vibe
Underneath, Alan processes by talking. The Moon in Gemini means a feeling is not real until it has been said out loud, ideally to two people, ideally with a joke attached. What Alan needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Alan wants to be loved
Alan wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Alan be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Alan creates
How Alan makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Alan creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Alan is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. Alan is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Alan does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Dedicate a star to Alan Lloyd Hodgkin
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Banbury on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
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.
Aquarius Sun
Aquarius SunCares about everyone, needs space.
Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's Sun was in Aquarius for the whole of February 5, 1914, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aquarius readings associate the sign with independence, ideas and a stance slightly apart from the group it belongs to. Astrologers describe it as the fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus, and read it for principle and originality. The corresponding tension is detachment, with the classical caution that caring about everyone can be easier than being close to anyone.
Wood Tiger
Wood TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
Alan Lloyd Hodgkin was born on February 5, 1914, which falls in a Wood Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 4
Life Path 4Plans, then plans the plan.
Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's birth date, February 5, 1914, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.
What stands out in Alan’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's date-only chart is Sun conjunction Venus, with an orb of about 2°.
- Five planets, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus, sit together in Aquarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Alan Lloyd Hodgkin combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Architect.
Alan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Alan Lloyd Hodgkin, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 2° to 15° Gemini 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.

Alan’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 12°55′ (moves 0.06° 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 Alan absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 24°60′ (moves 0.39° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Alan caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosCapricorn 17°59′ (moves 0.60° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Alan is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ HygieaTaurus 17°17′ (moves 0.13° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Alan is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 7°57′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Alan carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
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.
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Uranus 0.1°
- Ceres opposition Neptune 1.3°
- Hygiea square Sun 1.4°
- Chiron square Saturn 1.7°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mars 1.9°
- Hygiea square Venus 3.0°
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°).
Alan’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. ♅ Uranus12 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter; 3 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn4.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; 3 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury3 pts
disposes Saturn, Pluto; 1 major aspect
A Uranus-led chart is read as the break from pattern leading: Alan is read as someone who changes course before others see the need.
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 Alan’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 Aquarius · Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, UranusThree 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.
- Venus sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.0°
- Saturn semi-square Neptune 0.1°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto 1.5°
- Mars quincunx Uranus 2.0°
- Mercury quincunx Neptune 2.2°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Alan Lloyd Hodgkin, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Alan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q193650, 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.

- What was Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Tiger, with the Wood element, from the Chinese lunar year of the February 5, 1914 birth.
- What time was Alan Lloyd Hodgkin 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 Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's Life Path number?
- Life Path 4, calculated in numerology from the February 5, 1914 birth date.
- What was Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Pisces at 12°. Position from JPL Horizons for the February 5, 1914 birth date.
- Where was Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Aries at 7°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Alan Lloyd Hodgkin's dominant planet?
- Uranus, on AsterNym's dominance score (12 points: rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter; 3 major aspects). Saturn is second and Mercury third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
