The record
What sets Dylan apart
The same date carries Stacy Schiff. The sky is shared; nothing after it is.
What the chart says
Dylan, according to the stars
Core essence
Dylan does not do surface. The core of Dylan is intensity, the kind that wants the real story and can tell when it is not getting it. They love completely or not at all, keep their own counsel, and have a private loyalty that runs deeper than anyone outside it will ever know. Trust from Dylan is earned slowly and never given lightly.
The vibe
Underneath, Dylan processes by talking. The Moon in Gemini means a feeling is not real until it has been said out loud, ideally to two people, ideally with a joke attached. What Dylan needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Dylan wants to be loved
Dylan wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Dylan gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Dylan creates
How Dylan makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Dylan creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Dylan 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Dylan 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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Dylan 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.

Dedicate a star to Dylan McDermott
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Waterbury 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.
Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunTrusts slowly. Forgets nothing.
Dylan McDermott's Sun was in Scorpio for the whole of October 26, 1961, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Scorpio readings associate the sign with intensity, depth and strong loyalties: few bonds, held completely. Astrologers describe it as the fixed water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and in modern practice by Pluto, and read it for privacy and resolve. The corresponding tension is the tendency to guard trust closely and to remember what was done with it.
Metal Ox
Metal OxCarries the load without comment.
Dylan McDermott was born on October 26, 1961, which falls in a Metal 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 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Dylan McDermott's birth date, October 26, 1961, 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.

Dylan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Dylan McDermott, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 2° to 15° Gemini 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.

Dylan’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 ℞Pisces 2°01′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Dylan absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 23°30′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Dylan is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosSagittarius 29°24′ (moves 0.53° 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 Dylan attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaSagittarius 16°41′ (moves 0.38° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Sagittarius is read as health through movement, space and a reason. Dylan is read as someone who is well when going somewhere.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 29°44′ (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. Dylan 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.
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Uranus 0.1°
- Ceres trine Saturn 0.4°
- Eros trine Uranus 0.4°
- Chiron trine Sun 1.0°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 2.2°
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°).
Dylan’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. ♇ Pluto7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun, Mars, Neptune; 1 major aspect
2. ♄ Saturn5 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Jupiter; 2 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun3 pts
disposes Uranus; 2 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Dylan is read as someone who does not do things by half and rebuilds after every ending.
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 Dylan’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.
Stellium in Scorpio · Sun, Mars, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
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.
- Mars quintile Jupiter 0.0°
- Saturn biquintile Uranus 0.1°
- Mercury semi-square Pluto 0.2°
- Venus semi-sextile Neptune 0.2°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.6°
- Jupiter quincunx Uranus 0.8°
- Venus semi-sextile Pluto 1.0°
- Uranus quintile Neptune 1.1°
- Saturn quintile Neptune 1.2°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Dylan McDermott, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Dylan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q53120, 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.
