What the chart says
Dabney, according to the stars
Core essence
Dabney is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Dabney 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.
The vibe
Underneath, Dabney feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Dabney needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Dabney wants to be loved
Dabney wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Dabney be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Dabney creates
How Dabney makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Dabney 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: Dabney is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Dabney 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 Dabney leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Dabney does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Austin on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
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.
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunAmbition wearing a plain coat.
Dabney Coleman's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 3, 1932, 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 Goat
Metal GoatKind, and quietly tough.
Dabney Coleman was born on January 3, 1932, which falls in a Metal Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Starts things. Lots of things.
Dabney Coleman's birth date, January 3, 1932, 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 Dabney’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Dabney Coleman's date-only chart is Mercury trine Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mars and Saturn, sit together in Capricorn, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Dabney Coleman 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.
Dabney’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Dabney Coleman, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 10° to 24° 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.

Dabney’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 ℞Taurus 18°58′ (moves 0.03° 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 Dabney building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 19°43′ (moves 0.41° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Dabney is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosAquarius 1°55′ (moves 0.59° 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. Dabney is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Leo 25°27′ (moves 0.08° 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 Dabney at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 16°40′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Dabney carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on 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.
- Chiron trine Mars 0.1°
- Ceres conjunction Mercury 1.0°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Uranus 1.2°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mars 2.2°
- Chiron sextile Pluto 2.3°
- Chiron square Jupiter 2.7°
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°).
Dabney’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. ♄ Saturn9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mars; 2 major aspects
2. ♅ Uranus6 pts
disposes Venus; 5 major aspects
3. ♂ Mars5 pts
disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Dabney 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 Dabney’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 Capricorn · Sun, Mars, SaturnThree 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.
Grand trine · Mercury, Jupiter, UranusThree planets each 120° apart, a closed triangle of trines. Astrologers read it as ease and talent that can go unexercised.
T-square onto Uranus · Mars, Pluto, UranusAn 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.
- Jupiter semi-sextile Pluto 0.4°
- Mercury quincunx Pluto 0.5°
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.1°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Neptune 1.2°
- Neptune semi-square Pluto 1.6°
- Mercury semi-sextile Mars 1.9°
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 2.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Dabney Coleman, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Dabney’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q446717, 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.
