The record
What sets David apart
Maya Angelou (1928) and Robert Downey Jr. (1965) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
David, according to the stars
Core essence
David leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of David is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.
How David wants to be loved
David 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 David creates
How David makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. David 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: David is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. David 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 David leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: being told "because that's how it's done." Mars in Aquarius fights for the idea, the group, the principle, rarely for themselves. David goes cool and distant rather than hot, and then does the surprising thing. Point them at a cause and they will rewrite the rules around it.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

The quick version
Aries Sun
Aries SunFirst through every door.
David Blaine's Sun was in Aries for the whole of April 4, 1973, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aries readings associate the sign with initiative, directness and a preference for acting before the plan is finished. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal fire sign: the one that starts things. The corresponding tension is impatience, with the classical caution that what Aries begins quickly it may leave for someone else to complete.
Water Ox
Water OxSays little. Finishes everything.
David Blaine was born on April 4, 1973, which falls in a Water Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Independent to the core.
David Blaine's birth date, April 4, 1973, 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.

David’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for David Blaine, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 8° Aries or 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.

David’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 16°41′ (moves 0.06° 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: David may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 17°37′ (moves 0.05° 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. David is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosGemini 5°07′ (moves 0.90° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Gemini is read as desire that starts in conversation. David is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 11°41′ (moves 0.32° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. David is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 15°11′ (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 David 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.
- Ceres square Mercury 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Saturn 0.7°
- Chiron sextile Saturn 0.8°
- Eros trine Mars 1.2°
- Ceres opposition Saturn 1.7°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Venus 1.7°
- Hygiea sextile Venus 1.8°
- Chiron conjunction Sun 1.9°
- Eros opposition Neptune 2.1°
- Eros trine Jupiter 2.4°
- Eros trine Pluto 2.4°
- Ceres trine Sun 2.8°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mercury 2.8°
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°).
David’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. ♂ Mars8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; disposes Sun, Venus; 3 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus5 pts
disposes Uranus, Pluto; 3 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune5 pts
disposes Mercury; 4 major aspects
A Mars-led chart is read as drive setting the pace: David is read as acting first and reflecting after.
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 David’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.
- Uranus semi-square Neptune 0.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for David Blaine, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for David Blaine, 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
David’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q353983, 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.
