What the chart says
Jack, according to the stars
Core essence
Jack notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Jack is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
How Jack wants to be loved
Jack wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Jack even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Jack creates
How Jack 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. Jack 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: Jack is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Jack is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Jack fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

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

Jack Cardiff in 15 seconds
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunSees the typo from across the room.
Jack Cardiff's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 18, 1914, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Wood Tiger
Wood TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
Jack Cardiff was born on September 18, 1914, which falls in a Wood Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Feeds the room, forgets to eat.
Jack Cardiff's birth date, September 18, 1914, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Jack’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Jack Cardiff's date-only chart is Saturn conjunction Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto, sit together in Cancer, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Jack Cardiff combines a Fire Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Radiant Healer.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jack Cardiff, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 28° to 12° Leo or Virgo 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.

Jack’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 ℞Pisces 16°13′ (moves 0.05° 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 Jack absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aquarius 18°27′ (moves 0.12° over the day)
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. Jack is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ Eros ℞Aries 6°47′ (moves 0.38° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aries is read as desire that moves first and asks later. Jack is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.
⚕ HygieaCancer 21°49′ (moves 0.25° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Jack is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 3°01′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Jack is read as immovable on those points.
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 square Mars 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Pluto 0.8°
- Eros sextile Uranus 1.3°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Saturn 1.3°
- Eros opposition Mercury 2.8°
- Hygiea sextile 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°).
Jack’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. ☿ Mercury6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects
2. ♅ Uranus6 pts
in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Jupiter; 3 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Mercury, Mars; 2 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Jack is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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 Jack’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.
- Uranus biquintile Pluto 0.1°
- Saturn biquintile Uranus 0.4°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.4°
- Mercury semi-sextile Venus 1.5°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.7°
- Saturn semi-sextile Neptune 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jack Cardiff, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Jack’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q436704, 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.
