The record
What sets Dick apart
Taylor Swift (1989) and Jamie Foxx (1967) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Dick, according to the stars
Core essence
Dick is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Dick is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
How Dick wants to be loved
Dick 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 Dick be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Dick creates
How Dick makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Dick 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: Dick 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 Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Dick 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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Dick 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.

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

Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunNeeds a horizon, any horizon.
Dick Van Dyke's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of December 13, 1925, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Wood Ox
Wood OxSays little. Finishes everything.
Dick Van Dyke was born on December 13, 1925, which falls in a Wood 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 6
Life Path 6Care is the whole job.
Dick Van Dyke's birth date, December 13, 1925, 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.

Dick’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Dick Van Dyke, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 0° Scorpio or Sagittarius 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.

Dick’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 ℞Aries 23°59′ (moves 0.02° 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: Dick may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresLeo 25°43′ (moves 0.08° 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. Dick is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosScorpio 5°11′ (moves 0.81° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Dick is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Cancer 21°45′ (moves 0.14° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Dick is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 10°15′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Dick is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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 trine Uranus 0.1°
- Chiron trine Neptune 0.7°
- Chiron square Jupiter 0.8°
- Hygiea trine Saturn 0.8°
- Ceres conjunction Neptune 1.0°
- Hygiea trine Mars 1.5°
- Eros square Venus 2.3°
- Chiron trine Sun 2.8°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Venus 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°).
Dick’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. ♃ Jupiter8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury; 3 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn6 pts
disposes Jupiter; 5 major aspects
3. ♅ Uranus6 pts
disposes Venus; 5 major aspects
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Dick is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
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 Dick’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 Neptune 0.0°
- Sun semi-sextile Saturn 0.3°
- Venus semi-square Uranus 0.8°
- Sun semi-sextile Mars 1.0°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.2°
- Mercury quincunx Pluto 2.2°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Dick Van Dyke, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Dick’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q310295, 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.
