What the chart says
Charles, according to the stars
Core essence
Charles is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Charles 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 Charles wants to be loved
Charles wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Charles and watch them fall for you again.
How Charles creates
How Charles makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Charles creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Charles 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Charles is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Charles is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

Charles Addams at a glance
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunPlays the long game. Wins it.
Charles Addams's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 7, 1912, 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.
Metal Pig
Metal PigGenerous to the last coin.
Charles Addams was born on January 7, 1912, which falls in a Metal 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 3
Life Path 3Makes feelings into something.
Charles Addams's birth date, January 7, 1912, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Charles’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Charles Addams' date-only chart is Mars sextile Neptune, with an orb of about 2°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, sit together in Sagittarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Charles Addams combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Diplomat.
Charles’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Charles Addams, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 7° Leo or 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.

Charles’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 3°41′ (moves 0.05° 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 Charles absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Cancer 29°41′ (moves 0.22° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Cancer sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: care as instinct. Charles is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosSagittarius 5°08′ (moves 0.71° 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 Charles attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaCapricorn 29°47′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Capricorn is read as health as discipline and a long game. Charles is read as someone who keeps going past the point others stop, for better and worse.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCapricorn 13°18′ (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. Charles 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 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Black Moon Lilith trine Saturn 0.1°
- Chiron square Venus 0.2°
- Eros conjunction Jupiter 0.7°
- Ceres opposition Uranus 1.1°
- Hygiea conjunction Uranus 1.1°
- Eros conjunction Venus 1.7°
- Chiron square Jupiter 2.2°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Sun 2.8°
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°).
Charles’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. ♄ Saturn6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Uranus; 1 major aspect
2. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Mercury, Venus; 1 major aspect
3. ♀ Venus3 pts
disposes Mars, Saturn; 1 major aspect
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Charles 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 Charles’s chart

Where this data comes from
Charles’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q361106, 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.
