What the chart says
Andy, according to the stars
Core essence
Andy makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Andy is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
The vibe
Underneath, Andy is porous: other people's moods get in, and so does beauty, and so does the sad song. The Moon in Pisces feels everything and forgives most of it. What Andy needs to feel safe is gentleness and someone who does not make them explain the tears. They will love you back with their whole imagination.
How Andy wants to be loved
Andy wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Andy gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Andy creates
How Andy makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Andy builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Andy is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Andy is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Andy channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Libra Sun
Libra SunCharming. Still deciding.
Andy Bechtolsheim's Sun was in Libra for the whole of September 30, 1955, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Wood Goat
Wood GoatMakes everything a bit more beautiful.
Andy Bechtolsheim was born on September 30, 1955, which falls in a Wood Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 5
Life Path 5Can't sit still. Won't try.
Andy Bechtolsheim's birth date, September 30, 1955, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.

- Andy Bechtolsheim combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Pioneer.
Andy’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Andy Bechtolsheim, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 12° to 26° Pisces 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.

Andy’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Aquarius 0°07′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aquarius is read as a wound around fitting in. The tradition has Andy making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 13°44′ (moves 0.16° 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 Andy caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosVirgo 10°53′ (moves 0.91° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Virgo is read as desire expressed through attention to detail: noticing, improving, being useful. Andy is read as slow to start and exact once started.
⚕ HygieaScorpio 10°43′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Andy carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 22°37′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius is read as a refusal to be told what to believe. The reading has Andy leaving any room where the truth is decided in advance.
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 trine Jupiter 0.4°
- Ceres square Venus 0.6°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mars 0.9°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 1.5°
- Chiron square Mercury 1.6°
- Chiron square Neptune 2.9°
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°).
Andy’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. ♀ Venus9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; in its own sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mercury, Neptune; 1 major aspect
2. ☉ Sun4 pts
disposes Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto; 1 major aspect
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Mars; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Andy is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Andy’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 Libra · Sun, Mercury, Venus, 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.
- Venus quintile Uranus 0.7°
- Mars semi-sextile Jupiter 1.4°
- Sun semi-square Jupiter 1.5°
- Venus semi-square Pluto 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Andy Bechtolsheim, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Andy’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q65344, 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.
Roster last reviewed September 10, 2026. Every entry is checked against its Wikidata record; where a person shares a name with someone else, the entity id is what settles which of them this is. What we will not tell you sets out the claims this site refuses to make.
