The record
What sets Dana apart
Shaboozey (1995) and Willyrex (1993) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Dana, according to the stars
Core essence
Dana 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 Dana 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 Dana wants to be loved
Dana 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 Dana like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Dana creates
How Dana makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Dana creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: Dana 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Dana is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Dana scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

You likely balance a tight inner circle with a wider orbit you dip into.

You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.
You likely handle some friction right away and let smaller things settle.
You may favor what's proven and workable over the untested idea.
You may build trust slowly, letting closeness earn its way in.

Dedicate a star to Dana Perino
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Evanston 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.
Taurus Sun
Taurus SunComfort first, then everything else.
Dana Perino's Sun was in Taurus for the whole of May 9, 1972, 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 Rat
Water RatFinds the shortcut every time.
Dana Perino was born on May 9, 1972, which falls in a Water 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 6
Life Path 6Care is the whole job.
Dana Perino's birth date, May 9, 1972, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Dana’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Dana Perino's date-only chart is Venus square Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Venus, Mars and Saturn, sit together in Gemini, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Dana Perino combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Guardian.
Dana’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Dana Perino, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 8° Pisces or Aries 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.
⚷ ChironAries 15°21′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Dana may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresLeo 16°17′ (moves 0.26° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Dana is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosAquarius 27°42′ (moves 0.41° 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. Dana is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Scorpio 6°40′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Dana carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithScorpio 8°26′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is read as power the person has stopped apologising for. Dana is read as someone others project onto, and who has learnt to let them.
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 opposition Uranus 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 0.4°
- Eros trine Mars 0.5°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 1.3°
- Hygiea sextile Jupiter 1.3°
- Eros trine Venus 1.9°
- Eros sextile Mercury 2.6°
- Ceres square Sun 2.9°
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°).
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. ♀ Venus8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Taurus; disposes Sun, Uranus; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury6 pts
disposes Venus, Mars, Saturn, Pluto; 2 major aspects
3. ♂ Mars4 pts
disposes Mercury; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Dana 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 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.
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.
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 0.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Dana Perino, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Dana Perino, 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 Q114322, 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.
