What the chart says
Elliott, according to the stars
Core essence
Elliott is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Elliott 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, Elliott is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Elliott needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Elliott wants to be loved
Elliott wants to be loved like home. Venus in Cancer needs to feel safe before it feels anything else, and then it feels everything. Remember the small things, meet the family, make the tea. Elliott gives care in a hundred quiet ways and needs to know it is noticed. Consistency is the romance.
How Elliott creates
How Elliott makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Elliott creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Elliott is sharp and confident, a Rooster year, and their gut reaction is to say the true thing out loud. Observant, hardworking, honest, and proud of looking the part. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Elliott is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: being fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. Elliott has boundless energy for anything with a horizon in it and none for the small print. Aim them at something far away and step back.

Elliott Smith in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunGenerous with the spotlight, mostly.
Elliott Smith's Sun was in Leo at the documented birth time. 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 Rooster
Earth RoosterPrepared for everything, twice.
Elliott Smith was born on August 6, 1969, which falls in a Earth Rooster year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rooster readings emphasise precision, candour and pride in appearance and in work done properly. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rooster as observant and punctual, the sign that notices and says so. The corresponding caution in the tradition is vanity, and a frankness that arrives before anyone asked for it.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3Makes feelings into something.
Elliott Smith's birth date, August 6, 1969, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.

Elliott’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Aries 6°34′ · House 12
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Elliott may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aquarius 2°32′ · House 10
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Elliott is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosCancer 5°41′ · House 3
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Cancer is read as desire bound up with safety and memory. Elliott is read as drawn to people who feel like somewhere to come back to.
⚕ HygieaGemini 6°02′ · House 2
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 Elliott needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 16°11′ · House 3
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer is read as the refusal to be tamed by the role of carer. The reading has Elliott guarding a private self that family did not get to name.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.
- Chiron trine Mars 0.5°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 0.8°
- Hygiea opposition Mars 1.0°
- Ceres trine Uranus 1.2°
- Eros conjunction Venus 2.2°

- Hygiea trine Jupiter 2.7°
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°).
Elliott’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ♀ Venus12 pts
rules the Moon sign, Taurus; rules the Ascendant, Taurus; disposes Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury; angular in the fourth house; 2 major aspects
3. ☽ Moon8 pts
disposes Venus; angular in the first house; 5 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Elliott is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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.
