What the chart says
Gordon, according to the stars
Core essence
Gordon is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Gordon is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
The vibe
Underneath, Gordon runs hot. The Moon in Aries means feelings arrive fast and loud and burn out just as fast, so the flare you saw an hour ago is already forgiven. What Gordon needs to feel safe is honesty in real time and room to react. Say it straight, and they will always meet you there.
How Gordon wants to be loved
Gordon wants to be loved seriously. Venus in Capricorn is slow to open and then loyal for life, and it shows love by building: the plan, the future, the thing that lasts. Respect is the romance. Show Gordon you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.
How Gordon creates
How Gordon 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. Gordon 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: Gordon 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Gordon is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Gordon 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.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

The quick version
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunTruth first, tact later.
Gordon S. Wood's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of November 27, 1933, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Water Rooster
Water RoosterSharp eye, sharper tongue.
Gordon S. Wood was born on November 27, 1933, which falls in a Water 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 9
Life Path 9Endings come naturally.
Gordon S. Wood's birth date, November 27, 1933, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.

Gordon’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Gordon S. Wood, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 22° Aries 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.

Gordon’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 ℞Gemini 1°16′ (moves 0.06° 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 Gordon turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresAries 7°58′
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Gordon looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ ErosAquarius 2°38′ (moves 0.53° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Gordon is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ HygieaSagittarius 28°38′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Sagittarius is read as health through movement, space and a reason. Gordon is read as someone who is well when going somewhere.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 3°59′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
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 Gordon 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. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Ceres square Mars 1.6°
- Eros sextile Sun 2.4°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Mars 2.4°
- Ceres trine Sun 2.9°
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°).
Gordon’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. ♃ Jupiter8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun; 4 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus5 pts
disposes Jupiter; 4 major aspects
3. ♅ Uranus4 pts
disposes Saturn; 3 major aspects
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Gordon is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
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 Gordon’s chart

Where this data comes from
Gordon’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q5585778, 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.
