What the chart says
Edwin, according to the stars
Core essence
Edwin is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Edwin is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.
The vibe
Underneath, Edwin 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 Edwin 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 Edwin wants to be loved
Edwin 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 Edwin be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Edwin creates
How Edwin makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Edwin creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Edwin is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. Edwin is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Edwin does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

Edwin Arlington Robinson at a glance
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunPlays the long game. Wins it.
Edwin Arlington Robinson's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of December 22, 1869, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.
Earth Snake
Earth SnakeSays less than it knows.
Edwin Arlington Robinson was born on December 22, 1869, which falls in a Earth Snake year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.
Life Path 4
Life Path 4Plans, then plans the plan.
Edwin Arlington Robinson's birth date, December 22, 1869, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.

Edwin’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Edwin Arlington Robinson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 10° to 23° 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.

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.
⚷ ChironPisces 29°32′ (moves 0.01° 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 Edwin absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 19°47′ (moves 0.10° 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. Edwin is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosSagittarius 22°16′ (moves 0.64° 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 Edwin attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 20°35′ (moves 0.20° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Edwin needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 12°42′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Edwin carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
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 Saturn 0.3°
- Ceres trine Mars 0.8°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 1.0°
- Chiron square Sun 1.4°
- Eros conjunction Saturn 1.4°
- Ceres square Venus 1.8°
- Hygiea trine Venus 2.6°
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. ♄ Saturn8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mercury, Mars; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Pluto; 4 major aspects
3. ♂ Mars4 pts
disposes Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Edwin is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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
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 Capricorn · Sun, Mercury, MarsThree 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.
T-square onto Neptune · Mars, Uranus, 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.
- Saturn quincunx Uranus 0.2°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.3°
- Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 0.5°
- Venus semi-sextile Mars 1.0°
- Saturn biquintile Pluto 1.4°
- Mars semi-sextile Saturn 2.0°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Edwin Arlington Robinson, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Edwin’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1294394, 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.
