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 calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Andy needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Andy wants to be loved
Andy wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Andy and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Andy creates
How Andy makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Andy creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Andy is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Andy is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Andy fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

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.
The quick version
Libra Sun
Libra SunFair to a fault, slow to pick.
Andy Lau's Sun was in Libra for the whole of September 27, 1961, 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.
Metal Ox
Metal OxCarries the load without comment.
Andy Lau was born on September 27, 1961, which falls in a Metal Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Andy Lau's birth date, September 27, 1961, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Andy’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Andy Lau's date-only chart is Mars square Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Mars, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Andy Lau combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Strategist.
Andy’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Andy Lau, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 2° to 16° Taurus 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 ℞Pisces 2°52′ (moves 0.04° 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 Andy absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 26°52′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Andy is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosSagittarius 13°60′ (moves 0.51° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Andy attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaSagittarius 6°04′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Sagittarius is read as health through movement, space and a reason. Andy is read as someone who is well when going somewhere.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 26°27′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Andy is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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 Mars 0.4°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 0.5°
- Chiron opposition Venus 1.4°
- Ceres square Uranus 1.6°
- Hygiea square Venus 1.8°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Uranus 2.0°
- Hygiea sextile Sun 2.3°
- Hygiea square Pluto 2.7°
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; disposes Sun, Mercury, Mars; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury7 pts
disposes Venus, Pluto; 5 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn6 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Jupiter; 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, MarsThree 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.
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 0.4°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.5°
- Uranus quintile Neptune 0.7°
- Saturn biquintile Uranus 0.8°
- Venus biquintile Jupiter 0.9°
- Jupiter quincunx Uranus 1.1°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Andy Lau, 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 Q16766, 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.
