What the chart says
Dana, according to the stars
Core essence
Dana is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Dana 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, Dana 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 Dana needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Dana wants to be loved
Dana wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Dana and watch them fall for you again.
How Dana creates
How Dana makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Dana 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: Dana is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Dana is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Dana 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.

Dana Andrews at a glance
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunWorking while you were asleep.
Dana Andrews's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 1, 1909, 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.
Earth Monkey
Earth MonkeySolved it, and made a joke.
Dana Andrews was born on January 1, 1909, which falls in a Earth Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3Talks it, jokes it, lives it.
Dana Andrews's birth date, January 1, 1909, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Dana’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Dana Andrews' date-only chart is Mercury opposition Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Uranus, 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.
- Dana Andrews combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Diplomat.
Dana’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Dana Andrews, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 6° to 19° 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.

Dana’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.
⚷ ChironAquarius 20°26′ (moves 0.06° 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 Dana making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 19°60′ (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. Dana is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosCapricorn 21°44′ (moves 0.59° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Dana is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 22°58′ (moves 0.18° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Dana needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 10°39′ (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 Dana 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.
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 0.1°
- Hygiea conjunction Pluto 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith square Venus 1.6°
- Eros sextile Mars 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°).
Dana’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. ☿ Mercury6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Pluto; 4 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter6 pts
disposes Venus; 5 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mercury, Uranus
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Dana 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 Dana’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, Mercury, UranusThree 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.
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 quincunx Pluto 0.1°
- Sun semi-square Mars 1.3°
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Dana Andrews, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Dana Andrews, 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
Dana’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q365633, 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.
