What the chart says

Charles, according to the stars

Core essence

Charles notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Charles is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.

How Charles wants to be loved

Charles 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 Charles and they will quietly make your whole life run better.

How Charles creates

How Charles makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Charles creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.

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 Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Charles 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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Charles runs hot underneath and cold on top; the anger is quiet, deep and long-remembered. They do not lose their temper, they decide. Point that focus at a goal and nothing survives in its way.

The quick version

Virgo Sun

Standards nobody else can meet.

Charles Wright's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of August 25, 1935, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.

Wood Pig

Warm, sincere, easy company.

Charles Wright was born on August 25, 1935, which falls in a Wood 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

Home is the project.

Charles Wright's birth date, August 25, 1935, 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.

Charles’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Charles Wright, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 18° to 0° Cancer or Leo 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

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.

  • ⚷ ChironGemini 15°49′ (moves 0.03° over the day)

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

    Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Charles turning that into a careful, exact way with words.

  • ⚳ CeresVirgo 15°14′ (moves 0.45° over the day)

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

    Ceres in Virgo is read as nurture through usefulness: fixing, sorting, noticing. The reading has Charles caring in practical detail rather than in words.

  • ♡ Eros ℞Aquarius 25°42′ (moves 0.44° over the day)

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

    Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Charles is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.

  • ⚕ HygieaTaurus 12°16′ (moves 0.05° over the day)

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

    Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Charles is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 14°50′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Charles exacting with themselves first.

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.

  • Chiron square Mercury 0.2°
  • Ceres sextile Mars 0.6°
  • Ceres conjunction Mercury 0.8°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Mars 1.0°
  • Black Moon Lilith conjunction Neptune 1.0°
  • Ceres sextile Jupiter 1.1°
  • Black Moon Lilith conjunction Mercury 1.2°
  • Ceres conjunction Neptune 1.4°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 1.5°
  • Hygiea trine Neptune 1.6°
  • Chiron square Neptune 2.0°

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. 1. ☿ Mercury12 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Venus, Neptune; 4 major aspects

  2. 2. ♆ Neptune6 pts

    disposes Saturn; 5 major aspects

  3. 3. ☽ Moon4 pts

    in its own sign, Cancer; disposes Pluto; 1 major aspect

A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Charles is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.

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

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 Virgo · Sun, Mercury, Venus, NeptuneThree 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.

No birth time is on public record for Charles Wright, 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

Charles’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q2960465, 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 Charles Wright 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.
