The record
What sets Colin apart
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900) and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow (1957) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Colin, according to the stars
Core essence
Colin feels the room before entering it. The core of Colin is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Colin, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
How Colin wants to be loved
Colin wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Colin like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Colin creates
How Colin makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Colin 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: Colin is loyal to the bone, a Dog year, and their gut reaction is to protect their people. Honest, fair, a little anxious about the world, and the most dependable friend in the room. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Colin 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 Colin 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. Colin fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunGuards the people, guards the past.
Colin Jost's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of June 29, 1982, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Water Dog
Water DogWorries so you don't have to.
Colin Jost was born on June 29, 1982, which falls in a Water Dog year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dog readings emphasise loyalty, honesty and a strong sense of what is fair. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dog as the guardian of the cycle, protective of its own and quick to notice a wrong. The corresponding caution in the tradition is anxiety: a watchfulness that does not know when to stand down.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Starts things. Lots of things.
Colin Jost's birth date, June 29, 1982, 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 Colin’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Colin Jost's date-only chart is Mercury trine Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mars, Saturn and Pluto, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Colin Jost combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Strategist.
Colin’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Colin Jost, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 17° to 0° Libra or Scorpio 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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 25°45′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Colin building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresScorpio 12°49′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Colin is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosLibra 2°39′ (moves 0.70° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Colin is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaLeo 16°38′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Colin at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCapricorn 0°57′ (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. Colin 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 sextile Jupiter 0.5°
- Hygiea sextile Mercury 0.8°
- Hygiea sextile Saturn 1.0°
- Eros sextile Uranus 1.4°
- Eros trine Venus 2.3°
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. ☽ Moon5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun; 1 major aspect
2. ☿ Mercury5 pts
in its own sign, Gemini; disposes Venus; 2 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Mars, Saturn, Pluto; 1 major aspect
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Colin is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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.
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.
- Sun biquintile Uranus 0.3°
- Mercury sesquiquadrate Jupiter 0.4°
- Saturn semi-square Uranus 0.6°
- Jupiter semi-sextile Uranus 0.8°
- Mars quintile Neptune 0.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Colin Jost, 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 Q5145253, 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.
