What the chart says

Carleton, according to the stars

Core essence

Carleton is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Carleton is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.

How Carleton wants to be loved

Carleton wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Carleton even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.

How Carleton creates

How Carleton 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. Carleton 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: Carleton is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Carleton 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: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Carleton does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

Carleton Mabee in 15 seconds

Capricorn Sun

Plays the long game. Wins it.

Carleton Mabee's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of December 24, 1914, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.

Wood Tiger

Brave, bright, burns fast.

Carleton Mabee was born on December 24, 1914, which falls in a Wood Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.

Life Path 6

Feeds the room, forgets to eat.

Carleton Mabee's birth date, December 24, 1914, 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.

Carleton’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Carleton Mabee, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 5° Pisces or 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.

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.

Carleton’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.

  • ChironPisces 14°43′ (moves 0.03° 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 Carleton absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.

  • CeresPisces 1°18′ (moves 0.31° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Carleton is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.

  • ErosAries 4°07′ (moves 0.55° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Aries is read as desire that moves first and asks later. Carleton is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.

  • HygieaCancer 29°35′ (moves 0.15° over the day)

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

    Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Carleton is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • Black Moon LilithTaurus 13°47′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Carleton is read as immovable on those points.

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.

  • Ceres trine Pluto 0.1°
  • Ceres sextile Sun 0.2°
  • Ceres sextile Mars 0.2°
  • Hygiea conjunction Neptune 0.2°
  • Hygiea trine Venus 1.9°
  • Eros square Sun 2.6°
  • Eros square Mars 2.6°
  • Ceres trine Saturn 2.7°
  • Eros square Pluto 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°).

Carleton’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. Saturn10 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mars; 5 major aspects

  2. 2. Mercury6 pts

    disposes Saturn; 5 major aspects

  3. 3. Pluto5 pts

    disposes Venus; 4 major aspects

A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Carleton is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.

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 Carleton’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 semi-square Uranus 0.0°
  • Venus quintile Uranus 0.2°
  • Mercury biquintile Neptune 0.6°
  • Venus quincunx Saturn 1.0°
  • Saturn semi-sextile Neptune 1.2°
  • Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 1.4°
  • Sun quincunx Neptune 1.7°
  • Mars quincunx Neptune 1.7°

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

No birth time is on public record for Carleton Mabee, 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

Carleton’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q17916859, 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.

The same Carleton Mabee at Wikipedia.

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.
