The record
What sets Cory apart
Salvador Dalí (1904) and Richard Feynman (1918) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Cory, according to the stars
Core essence
Cory is the steady one, the person whose yes means yes and whose Sunday looks the same as it did last year because it was a good Sunday. The core of Cory is a deep loyalty to what is real: good food, a good bed, people who show up. They move slowly on purpose. Once they have decided something, it is decided, and that is a comfort to everyone around them.
How Cory wants to be loved
Cory wants to be loved boldly. Venus in Aries falls fast, says so, and wants you to chase back. Grand gestures land, so does a fight followed by a proper make-up. What bores them is hesitation. Be direct, be a little brave about them, and keep the spark lit on purpose.
How Cory creates
How Cory 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. Cory 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: Cory 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 9 is the humanitarian. Cory is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
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. Cory fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Cory Monteith in 15 seconds
Taurus Sun
Taurus SunStubborn is the polite word.
Cory Monteith's Sun was in Taurus for the whole of May 11, 1982, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Taurus readings associate the sign with steadiness, sensory pleasure and things that last. Astrologers describe it as the fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus, and read it for loyalty, routine and a slow, deliberate pace. The corresponding tension is resistance to change, described in the tradition as stubbornness that presents itself as principle.
Water Dog
Water DogWorries so you don't have to.
Cory Monteith was born on May 11, 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 9
Life Path 9Endings come naturally.
Cory Monteith's birth date, May 11, 1982, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.
What stands out in Cory’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Cory Monteith's date-only chart is Neptune sextile Pluto, with an orb of about 2°.
- 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.
- Cory Monteith combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Lightkeeper.
Cory’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Cory Monteith, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 7° Sagittarius or Capricorn 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.

Cory’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 22°33′ (moves 0.07° 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 Cory building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ Ceres ℞Scorpio 19°14′ (moves 0.22° 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. Cory is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosLeo 25°49′ (moves 0.82° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Leo is read as desire that wants to be adored and to adore in return. The reading has Cory loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ HygieaLeo 2°17′ (moves 0.24° 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 Cory at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 25°30′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius is read as a refusal to be told what to believe. The reading has Cory leaving any room where the truth is decided in advance.
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 Pluto 0.6°
- Eros trine Neptune 0.8°
- Hygiea trine Uranus 0.8°
- Eros sextile Pluto 1.0°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Neptune 1.1°
- Hygiea square Jupiter 1.2°
- Ceres opposition Sun 1.5°
- Chiron conjunction Sun 1.8°
- Hygiea sextile Mars 1.9°
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°).
Cory’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. ♀ Venus9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Taurus; disposes Sun, Mars, Saturn, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury4 pts
in its own sign, Gemini; 2 major aspects
3. ♂ Mars3 pts
disposes Venus; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Cory is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Cory’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 Neptune 0.1°
- Jupiter semi-sextile Uranus 0.4°
- Saturn semi-square Uranus 1.5°
- Mercury sesquiquadrate Pluto 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Cory Monteith, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Cory’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q296484, 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.
