What the chart says
Jack, according to the stars
Core essence
Jack does not do surface. The core of Jack is intensity, the kind that wants the real story and can tell when it is not getting it. They love completely or not at all, keep their own counsel, and have a private loyalty that runs deeper than anyone outside it will ever know. Trust from Jack is earned slowly and never given lightly.
The vibe
Underneath, Jack needs to be adored a little, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Moon in Leo feels things dramatically and generously and wants them noticed. What Jack needs to feel safe is to be chosen out loud: the compliment said in front of people, the text that says you were thinking of them. They repay it tenfold.
How Jack wants to be loved
Jack wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Jack and watch them fall for you again.
How Jack creates
How Jack 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. Jack 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: Jack is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Jack is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Jack leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Jack 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
Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunAll in or nowhere near.
Jack Szostak's Sun was in Scorpio for the whole of November 9, 1952, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Scorpio readings associate the sign with intensity, depth and strong loyalties: few bonds, held completely. Astrologers describe it as the fixed water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and in modern practice by Pluto, and read it for privacy and resolve. The corresponding tension is the tendency to guard trust closely and to remember what was done with it.
Water Dragon
Water DragonBig energy, bigger plans.
Jack Szostak was born on November 9, 1952, which falls in a Water Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Goes first. Works it out.
Jack Szostak's birth date, November 9, 1952, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Jack’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Jack Szostak's date-only chart is Venus sextile Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Jack Szostak 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.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jack Szostak, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 21° Leo 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.
⚷ ChironCapricorn 8°55′ (moves 0.07° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Capricorn is read as a wound around recognition and authority. Jack is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.
⚳ Ceres ℞Gemini 15°23′ (moves 0.16° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Jack feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosSagittarius 18°29′ (moves 0.61° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Jack attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Taurus 21°40′ (moves 0.20° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Jack is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 25°06′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Jack is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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 Mars 1.0°
- Hygiea square Pluto 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Neptune 2.7°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Venus 2.8°
- Eros sextile Saturn 3.0°
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. ♇ Pluto8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun; 4 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars6.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; 5 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Jack is read as someone who does not do things by half and rebuilds after every ending.
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

Where this data comes from
Jack’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q104600, 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.
