What the chart says

David, according to the stars

Core essence

David feels everything, and it is the best and hardest thing about them. The core of David is imagination with a soft heart behind it: the daydream, the creative pull, the instinct that knows how someone is doing before they do. They absorb the mood of a room and give back something kinder. Their softness is not weakness, it is the whole point.

The vibe

Underneath, David 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 David 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 David wants to be loved

David 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 David be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.

How David creates

How David makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. David creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.

Instinct

Instinct: David 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. David 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 rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means David is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

The quick version

Pisces Sun

Absorbs the room's mood.

David Niven's Sun was in Pisces for the whole of March 1, 1910, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Pisces readings associate the sign with imagination, empathy and permeable boundaries: absorbing the mood of a place and turning it into something. Astrologers describe it as the mutable water sign, traditionally ruled by Jupiter and in modern practice by Neptune. The corresponding tension is drift, described in the tradition as a difficulty telling one's own feelings from everyone else's.

Metal Dog

Loyal past the point of sense.

David Niven was born on March 1, 1910, which falls in a Metal 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 6

Feeds the room, forgets to eat.

David Niven's birth date, March 1, 1910, 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.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for David Niven, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 3° to 15° 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.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

  • stableMercuryconjunctionVenus0.0° to 1.0° orb

    David’s mind and affections act as one. Wherever one goes, the other is already there.

  • stableMercurytrineJupiter1.3° to 2.7° orb

    David’s mind flows straight into their growth. Effortless, which is exactly why it gets taken for granted.

  • stableMarstrineUranus1.3° to 1.9° orb

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.

  • ⚷ ChironAquarius 28°47′ (moves 0.07° 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 David making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.

  • ⚳ CeresPisces 5°16′ (moves 0.39° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: David is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.

  • ♡ ErosSagittarius 6°09′ (moves 0.51° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has David attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.

  • ⚕ Hygiea ℞Virgo 8°16′ (moves 0.21° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. David is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 27°52′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of David that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.

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.

  • Hygiea opposition Sun 1.8°

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. 1. ♆ Neptune7 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Pisces; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects

  2. 2. ♃ Jupiter5.5 pts

    traditionally rules the Sun sign, Pisces; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. ♄ Saturn5 pts

    disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects

A Neptune-led chart is read as imagination and porousness leading: David is read as tuned to what is not said.

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.

  • t square, the shape it makesT-square onto Saturn · Uranus, Neptune, SaturnAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
  • t square, the shape it makesT-square onto Neptune · Jupiter, Saturn, NeptuneAn 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.

  • Sun semi-square Uranus 1.2°
  • Venus quincunx Neptune 1.4°
  • Mars semi-sextile Saturn 1.6°
  • Mercury quincunx Neptune 1.7°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for David Niven, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Born the same day as David

Archer John Porter Martin was born on March 1, 1910 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

No birth time is on public record for David Niven, 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 Q181917, 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.
