What the chart says
Ben, according to the stars
Core essence
Ben feels the room before entering it. The core of Ben is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Ben, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
The vibe
Underneath, Ben is quietly running a checklist, and half of it is about you. The Moon in Virgo feels care as responsibility: did you eat, did you get home, is the thing you were worried about handled. What Ben needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How Ben wants to be loved
Ben wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Ben like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Ben creates
How Ben makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Ben creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: Ben is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Ben is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Ben scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

Ben’s dot is placed from the chart. Yours is wherever you put it.
You may run on a few close bonds rather than a crowd. Depth is your default.
You likely weigh most decisions but can move fast when it matters.
You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.
You likely handle some friction right away and let smaller things settle.
You may be drawn to big possibilities. The practical follows after the vision.
You likely warm up at a pace that depends on the person and moment.

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

Ben Simmons in 15 seconds
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunMoody, and loyal past reason.
Ben Simmons's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of July 20, 1996, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Fire Rat
Fire RatCharming, and counting the exits.
Ben Simmons was born on July 20, 1996, which falls in a Fire Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 7
Life Path 7Asks the better question.
Ben Simmons's birth date, July 20, 1996, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.
What stands out in Ben’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ben Simmons' date-only chart is Mercury trine Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Five planets were retrograde on the birth date: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
- Ben Simmons combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Visionary.
Ben’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ben Simmons, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 21° Virgo 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.

Ben’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.
⚷ ChironLibra 9°47′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Libra is read as a wound around fairness and partnership. Ben is read as someone who learnt what a fair deal looks like by living through unfair ones.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 2°03′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Ben is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosLibra 0°54′ (moves 0.77° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Ben is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaAries 22°57′ (moves 0.13° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has Ben feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 2°56′ (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. Ben 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 opposition Uranus 0.1°
- Eros sextile Pluto 0.4°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 0.8°
- Chiron square Jupiter 1.0°
- Ceres conjunction Pluto 1.6°
- Eros trine Uranus 1.9°
- Chiron sextile Mercury 2.4°
- Chiron opposition Saturn 2.4°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Pluto 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°).
Ben’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. ♅ Uranus7 pts
in its own sign, Aquarius; 5 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Neptune; 4 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun4 pts
disposes Mercury; 3 major aspects
A Uranus-led chart is read as the break from pattern leading: Ben 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 Ben’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.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
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 quincunx Neptune 0.2°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus 0.7°
- Mars biquintile Uranus 0.7°
- Saturn quintile Neptune 0.9°
- Sun semi-sextile Mars 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Ben Simmons, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Ben’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q18638003, 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.
