What the chart says
Edwin, according to the stars
Core essence
Edwin does not do surface. The core of Edwin 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 Edwin is earned slowly and never given lightly.
The vibe
Underneath, Edwin 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 Edwin needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Edwin wants to be loved
Edwin 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. Edwin gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Edwin creates
How Edwin makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Edwin creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: Edwin is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 22 is the master builder. Edwin is here to turn a big vision into something that actually stands, at a scale most people would not attempt. Practical and visionary at once, patient, and learning that even the largest things are built one day at a time.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Edwin channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

Edwin A. Roberts Jr. at a glance
Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunReads the room. Says nothing.
Edwin A. Roberts Jr.'s Sun was in Scorpio for the whole of November 14, 1932, 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.
Water Monkey
Water MonkeyWit is the tool.
Edwin A. Roberts Jr. was born on November 14, 1932, which falls in a Water Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 22
Life Path 22Structure for the many.
Edwin A. Roberts Jr.'s birth date, November 14, 1932, reduces to Life Path 22 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 22 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with large-scale building: ambitious ideas combined with the practical structure to realise them. Numerologists read it as an intensified 4, the builder working at the scale of institutions. The corresponding tension is the gap between vision and execution, with the caution that a plan this large can stall on its own weight.
What stands out in Edwin’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Edwin A. Roberts Jr.'s date-only chart is Mercury sextile Venus, with an orb of under 1°.

- Edwin A. Roberts Jr. combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Architect.
Edwin’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Edwin A. Roberts Jr., so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 1° to 13° 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.

Edwin’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 ℞Taurus 26°20′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Edwin building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 25°30′ (moves 0.30° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Edwin caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosLibra 3°45′ (moves 0.90° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Edwin is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaLibra 23°57′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Edwin is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 21°52′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Edwin is read as immovable on those points.
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 opposition Sun 0.3°
- Hygiea square Pluto 0.6°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Pluto 1.5°
- Ceres opposition Pluto 2.1°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Jupiter 2.9°
- Chiron sextile 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°).
Edwin’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. ♇ Pluto8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun; 4 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury7 pts
disposes Mars, Jupiter, Neptune; 4 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
in its own sign, Libra; 2 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Edwin 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 Edwin’s chart

Where this data comes from
Edwin’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q22088688, 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.
