What the chart says

Bill, according to the stars

Core essence

Bill is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Bill is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.

The vibe

Underneath, Bill 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 Bill 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 Bill wants to be loved

Bill wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore Bill openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.

How Bill creates

How Bill makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Bill creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.

Instinct

Instinct: Bill 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 Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Bill is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.

Triggers

Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Bill scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

Dedicate a star to Bill Marimow

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Philadelphia 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.

The quick version

Leo Sun

Pride is the engine.

Bill Marimow's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 4, 1947, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.

Fire Pig

Gives more than it gets.

Bill Marimow was born on August 4, 1947, which falls in a Fire 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 6

Responsible before asked.

Bill Marimow's birth date, August 4, 1947, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Bill Marimow, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 4° to 16° 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.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Bill’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.

  • ChironScorpio 3°20′ (moves 0.06° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Scorpio is read as a wound around trust and loss. The tradition has Bill carrying an unusual tolerance for what other people cannot look at.

  • CeresTaurus 6°19′ (moves 0.17° 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. Bill is read as someone who shows care by providing.

  • ErosSagittarius 5°50′ (moves 0.20° 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 Bill attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.

  • HygieaGemini 20°32′ (moves 0.27° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Bill needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.

  • Black Moon LilithCapricorn 20°46′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn is read as ambition that does not ask to be liked. Bill is read as someone who takes the authority rather than waiting for it.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Chiron square Venus 0.1°
  • Black Moon Lilith opposition Mercury 1.4°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 2.5°
  • Eros trine Venus 2.6°
  • Eros sextile Neptune 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°).

Bill’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. 1. Sun11 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Venus, Saturn, Pluto; 3 major aspects

  2. 2. Pluto5 pts

    disposes Jupiter; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. Saturn4 pts

    4 major aspects

A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Bill is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.

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 Bill’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, the shape it makesStellium in Leo · Sun, Venus, Saturn, PlutoThree 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 biquintile Jupiter 0.4°
  • Jupiter biquintile Uranus 0.5°
  • Sun semi-square Uranus 1.7°
  • Mercury semi-sextile Mars 1.7°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Bill Marimow, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Bill Marimow, 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

Bill’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q133042948, 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.
