What the chart says
Colin, according to the stars
Core essence
Colin 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 Colin is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Colin is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Colin needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Colin wants to be loved
Colin wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Colin gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Colin creates
How Colin makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Colin creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Colin is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Colin is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Colin scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

Colin Firth in 15 seconds
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunSees the typo from across the room.
Colin Firth's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 10, 1960, 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.
Metal Rat
Metal RatQuick, clever, never stuck.
Colin Firth was born on September 10, 1960, which falls in a Metal Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Colin Firth's birth date, September 10, 1960, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Colin’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Colin Firth's date-only chart is Mars opposition Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Pluto, sit together in Virgo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Colin Firth combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Storyteller.
Colin’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Colin Firth, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 13° to 26° Taurus 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.

Colin’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Aquarius 28°55′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aquarius is read as a wound around fitting in. The tradition has Colin making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aquarius 16°50′ (moves 0.15° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Colin is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosGemini 27°50′ (moves 0.82° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Gemini is read as desire that starts in conversation. Colin is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 28°59′ (moves 0.39° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. Colin is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 13°56′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer is read as the refusal to be tamed by the role of carer. The reading has Colin guarding a private self that family did not get to name.
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.
- Eros square Mercury 1.0°
- Hygiea conjunction Mercury 2.1°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Saturn 2.1°
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°).
Colin’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. ☿ Mercury10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Mars, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn6 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; 4 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; 3 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Colin 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 Colin’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 in Virgo · Sun, Mercury, 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.
T-square onto Mercury · Mars, Jupiter, MercuryAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
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 quintile Pluto 0.1°
- Venus semi-square Uranus 1.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Colin Firth, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Colin’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q162492, 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.
