What the chart says
El Jones, according to the stars
Core essence
El Jones is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of El Jones is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
The vibe
Underneath, El Jones feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What El Jones needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How El Jones wants to be loved
El Jones wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore El Jones openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.
How El Jones creates
How El Jones makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. El Jones creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: El Jones is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. El Jones 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 bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. El Jones scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

El Jones in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunWarm, loud, hard to ignore.
El Jones's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 1, 1979, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Earth Goat
Earth GoatArtist first, everything second.
El Jones was born on August 1, 1979, which falls in a Earth Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Ambition with a spreadsheet.
El Jones's birth date, August 1, 1979, 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 El Jones’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in El Jones' date-only chart is Jupiter square Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter, sit together in Leo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- El Jones combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Scholar.
El Jones’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for El Jones, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 4° to 17° Scorpio 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.

El Jones’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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 13°47′ (moves 0.02° 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 El Jones building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresAries 19°00′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: El Jones looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ Eros ℞Pisces or Aquarius during this date
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. El Jones is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aries 1°41′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has El Jones feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 2°30′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
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 El Jones 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 trine Venus 0.3°
- Ceres trine Neptune 1.1°
- Chiron trine Saturn 1.4°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 1.6°
- Ceres opposition Pluto 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°).
El Jones’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. ☉ Sun10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury, Venus, Jupiter; 2 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Mars, Saturn; 2 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter4 pts
disposes Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: El Jones is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.
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 El Jones’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 Leo · Sun, Mercury, Venus, JupiterThree 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.
- Uranus semi-sextile Pluto 0.2°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Neptune 0.9°
- Uranus semi-sextile Neptune 1.0°
- Sun semi-square Mars 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for El Jones, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as El Jones
Jason Momoa was born on August 1, 1979 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

Where this data comes from
El Jones’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q28935078, 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.
