The record
What sets James apart
Mother Teresa (1910) and Antoine Lavoisier (1743) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
James, according to the stars
Core essence
James 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 James is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, James is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What James needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
How James wants to be loved
James wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. James gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How James creates
How James makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. James creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: James is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. James is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means James channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

James Harden at a glance
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunStandards nobody else can meet.
James Harden's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of August 26, 1989, 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.
Earth Snake
Earth SnakePrivate by design.
James Harden was born on August 26, 1989, which falls in a Earth Snake year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.
Life Path 7
Life Path 7Solitary, curious, deep.
James Harden's birth date, August 26, 1989, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.
What stands out in James’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in James Harden's date-only chart is Venus square Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, sit together in Capricorn, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Seven of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- James Harden combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Seeker.
James’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for James Harden, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 4° to 18° Cancer 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.

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.
⚷ ChironCancer 14°04′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Cancer is read as a wound around belonging and being looked after. James is read as someone who learnt to make a home for others before finding one.
⚳ CeresGemini 23°13′ (moves 0.30° 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 James feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosScorpio 4°26′ (moves 0.66° 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. James is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaSagittarius 12°49′ (moves 0.18° 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. James is read as someone who is well when going somewhere.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 22°17′ (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.
- Eros trine Jupiter 0.6°
- Chiron sextile Mars 0.7°
- Eros sextile Sun 0.9°
- Chiron trine Pluto 1.4°
- Hygiea square Mars 1.9°
- Hygiea sextile Venus 2.5°
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. ♄ Saturn9 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Uranus, Neptune; 5 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Mars; 2 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus6 pts
in its own sign, Libra; disposes Mercury; 3 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.

Where this data comes from
James’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q136678, 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.
