What the chart says
Duncan, according to the stars
Core essence
Duncan is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Duncan needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Duncan needs to be adored a little, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Moon in Leo feels things dramatically and generously and wants them noticed. What Duncan needs to feel safe is to be chosen out loud: the compliment said in front of people, the text that says you were thinking of them. They repay it tenfold.
How Duncan wants to be loved
Duncan wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Duncan is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Duncan creates
How Duncan 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. Duncan 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: Duncan is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Duncan is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
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. Duncan 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. 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.

If you only read one paragraph
Gemini Sun
Gemini SunNever finishes a book. Reads everything.
Duncan Jones's Sun was in Gemini for the whole of May 30, 1971, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Gemini readings associate the sign with curiosity, conversation and range: several interests held at once and a talent for connecting people and ideas. Astrologers describe it as the mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury. The corresponding tension is restlessness, with the classical caution that the next subject is always more interesting than finishing the current one.
Metal Pig
Metal PigAssumes the best. Usually right.
Duncan Jones was born on May 30, 1971, which falls in a Metal Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Ambition with a spreadsheet.
Duncan Jones's birth date, May 30, 1971, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Duncan’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Duncan Jones' date-only chart is Saturn trine Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Saturn, sit together in Taurus, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Duncan Jones combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Storyteller.
Duncan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Duncan Jones, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 14° to 27° Leo 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.

Duncan’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 12°54′ (moves 0.04° 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: Duncan may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresGemini 14°14′ (moves 0.42° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Duncan feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosGemini 14°46′ (moves 0.88° 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. Duncan is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.
⚕ HygieaLeo 14°04′ (moves 0.27° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Duncan at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo or Libra during this date
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 Duncan 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.
- Hygiea square Venus 0.4°
- Chiron sextile Mars 0.5°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 0.7°
- Hygiea opposition Mars 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Neptune 1.6°
- Ceres trine Mars 1.8°
- Eros trine Mars 2.3°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Saturn 2.4°
- Hygiea square Mercury 2.6°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 3.0°
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°).
Duncan’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. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus7 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Mercury, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter6 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Duncan 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 Duncan’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.
Grand trine · Sun, Mars, UranusThree planets each 120° apart, a closed triangle of trines. Astrologers read it as ease and talent that can go unexercised.
Minor aspects

Where this data comes from
Duncan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q552731, 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.
