What the chart says
Buster, according to the stars
Core essence
Buster makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Buster 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, Buster runs hot. The Moon in Aries means feelings arrive fast and loud and burn out just as fast, so the flare you saw an hour ago is already forgiven. What Buster needs to feel safe is honesty in real time and room to react. Say it straight, and they will always meet you there.
How Buster wants to be loved
Buster 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 Buster and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Buster creates
How Buster 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. Buster 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: Buster 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 1 is the pioneer. Buster is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Buster leads without needing to do it alone.
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. Buster fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Buster Keaton at a glance
Libra Sun
Libra SunBeauty matters. So does balance.
Buster Keaton's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 4, 1895, 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 GoatNeeds beauty like air.
Buster Keaton was born on October 4, 1895, 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 1
Life Path 1Front of the line, alone.
Buster Keaton's birth date, October 4, 1895, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Buster’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Buster Keaton's date-only chart is Mercury conjunction Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus, sit together in Scorpio, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Buster Keaton combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Strategist.
Buster’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Buster Keaton, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 14° to 26° Aries 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.

Buster’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 14°34′ (moves 0.15° 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. Buster is read as someone who learnt what a fair deal looks like by living through unfair ones.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 3°27′ (moves 0.23° 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 Buster caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosLeo 22°03′ (moves 0.94° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Leo is read as desire that wants to be adored and to adore in return. The reading has Buster loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 16°18′
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. Buster is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 11°48′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Buster is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.
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 square Pluto 0.9°
- Chiron conjunction Mars 1.2°
- Hygiea square Uranus 1.6°
- Hygiea trine Neptune 1.7°
- Chiron trine Pluto 1.9°
- Hygiea trine Mars 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°).
Buster’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. ♀ Venus8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mars; 3 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto7 pts
disposes Mercury, Saturn, Uranus; 4 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Venus, Neptune, Pluto; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Buster 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 Buster’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.
- Mercury biquintile Pluto 0.1°
- Saturn biquintile Pluto 0.1°
- Uranus quincunx Neptune 0.1°
- Venus semi-square Jupiter 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Buster Keaton, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Buster’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q103949, 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.
