What the chart says
Erwin, according to the stars
Core essence
Erwin is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Erwin 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.
How Erwin creates
How Erwin 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. Erwin 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: Erwin is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Erwin 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: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Erwin does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Dedicate a star to Erwin Schrödinger
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Vienna 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.
Leo Sun
Leo SunLoves an audience. Earns one.
Erwin Schrödinger's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 12, 1887, 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.
Fire Pig
Fire PigWarm, sincere, easy company.
Erwin Schrödinger was born on August 12, 1887, which falls in a Fire Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Built for the big table.
Erwin Schrödinger's birth date, August 12, 1887, 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 Erwin’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Erwin Schrödinger's date-only chart is Venus trine Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Erwin Schrödinger combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Scholar.
Erwin’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Erwin Schrödinger, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 18° to 0° Taurus or 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.

Erwin’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.
⚷ ChironGemini 29°56′ (moves 0.07° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Erwin turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresAries 24°21′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Erwin looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ ErosScorpio 14°00′ (moves 0.52° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Erwin is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaLeo 17°10′ (moves 0.36° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Erwin at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 10°20′ (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 Erwin 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.
- Chiron square Venus 0.3°
- Chiron trine Jupiter 0.5°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Uranus 0.6°
- Hygiea conjunction Sun 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°).
Erwin’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. ♀ Venus9 pts
in its own sign, Libra; disposes Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune; 4 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury
3. ☿ Mercury6 pts
disposes Pluto; 5 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Erwin 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.
Configurations in Erwin’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.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
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.
- Jupiter quincunx Neptune 0.5°
- Mars semi-square Pluto 0.6°
- Jupiter biquintile Pluto 0.6°
- Venus semi-sextile Jupiter 0.7°
- Sun semi-sextile Mars 1.2°
- Saturn quintile Uranus 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Erwin Schrödinger, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Erwin Schrödinger, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Erwin’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q9130, 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.

Quick answers about Erwin Schrödinger’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Erwin Schrödinger?
- Erwin Schrödinger was a Leo: born August 12, 1887, which puts the Sun in Leo for the whole of that day. That is the Western star sign. In the Chinese zodiac they were a Fire Pig.
- What was Erwin Schrödinger's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Pig, with the Fire element, from the Chinese lunar year of the August 12, 1887 birth.
- What time was Erwin Schrödinger born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- What was Erwin Schrödinger's Life Path number?
- Life Path 8, calculated in numerology from the August 12, 1887 birth date.
- What was Erwin Schrödinger's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Gemini at 29°. Position from JPL Horizons for the August 12, 1887 birth date.
- Where was Erwin Schrödinger's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Aries at 10°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Erwin Schrödinger's dominant planet?
- Venus, on AsterNym's dominance score (9 points: in its own sign, Libra; disposes Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune; 4 major aspects). Sun is second and Mercury third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
