The record
What sets James apart
David Baszucki shares the birth date exactly, so the chart below is nearly the same document for them both. What follows the chart is where they part.
What the chart says
James, according to the stars
How James wants to be loved
James 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 James and watch them fall for you again.
How James creates
How James makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. James 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: James 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. James is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means James fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Nashville 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.
If you only read one paragraph
Capricorn or Aquarius Sun
James Denton was born on a day when the Sun moved from Capricorn into Aquarius. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.
Water Tiger
Water TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
James Denton was born on January 20, 1963, which falls in a Water 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 4
Life Path 4Plans, then plans the plan.
James Denton's birth date, January 20, 1963, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.
What stands out in James’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in James Denton's date-only chart is Venus square Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Four planets were retrograde on the birth date: Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Pluto.
James’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for James Denton, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 8° Scorpio or Sagittarius 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.

Aspects across every possible birth time
Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

James’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.
⚷ ChironPisces 8°03′ (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 James absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Virgo 17°37′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Virgo is read as nurture through usefulness: fixing, sorting, noticing. The reading has James caring in practical detail rather than in words.
♡ ErosSagittarius 7°09′ (moves 0.70° 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 James attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaPisces 14°04′ (moves 0.32° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has James needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 19°59′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of James that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
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.
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Mars 0.5°
- Hygiea square Venus 0.9°
- Hygiea conjunction Jupiter 1.2°
- Hygiea trine Neptune 1.4°
- Ceres sextile Neptune 2.2°
- Hygiea opposition Pluto 2.3°
- Eros square Uranus 2.6°
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°).
James’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. ♄ Saturn7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mercury; 2 major aspects
2. ♆ Neptune5 pts
disposes Jupiter; 4 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto5 pts
disposes Neptune; 4 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: James is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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 James’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.

- Sun biquintile Uranus 1.4°
- Mercury semi-square Jupiter 1.5°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for James Denton, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for James Denton, 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
James’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q317516, 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.
