What the chart says
Jay, according to the stars
Core essence
Jay leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of Jay is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.
How Jay wants to be loved
Jay wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Jay, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.
How Jay creates
How Jay makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Jay creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Jay is loyal to the bone, a Dog year, and their gut reaction is to protect their people. Honest, fair, a little anxious about the world, and the most dependable friend in the room. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Jay 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. Jay 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.

The quick version
Aries Sun
Aries SunImpatient, and usually right to be.
Jay Baruchel's Sun was in Aries for the whole of April 9, 1982, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aries readings associate the sign with initiative, directness and a preference for acting before the plan is finished. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal fire sign: the one that starts things. The corresponding tension is impatience, with the classical caution that what Aries begins quickly it may leave for someone else to complete.
Water Dog
Water DogWorries so you don't have to.
Jay Baruchel was born on April 9, 1982, which falls in a Water Dog year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dog readings emphasise loyalty, honesty and a strong sense of what is fair. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dog as the guardian of the cycle, protective of its own and quick to notice a wrong. The corresponding caution in the tradition is anxiety: a watchfulness that does not know when to stand down.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Home is the project.
Jay Baruchel's birth date, April 9, 1982, 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 Jay’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Jay Baruchel's date-only chart is Sun opposition Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mars, Saturn and Pluto, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Jay Baruchel combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Diplomat.
Jay’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jay Baruchel, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 28° to 10° Libra or Scorpio 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.

Jay’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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 20°25′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Jay building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ Ceres ℞Scorpio 25°19′ (moves 0.12° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Jay is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosCancer 28°15′ (moves 0.90° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Cancer is read as desire bound up with safety and memory. Jay is read as drawn to people who feel like somewhere to come back to.
⚕ HygieaCancer 26°21′ (moves 0.12° 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. Jay is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 21°56′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius is read as a refusal to be told what to believe. The reading has Jay leaving any room where the truth is decided in advance.
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 Pluto 0.6°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 2.4°
- Eros square Pluto 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°).
Jay’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. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Mars, Saturn, Pluto; 3 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; disposes Sun, Mercury; 1 major aspect
3. ♇ Pluto4 pts
disposes Jupiter; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Jay is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Jay’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.
- Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus 0.3°
- Saturn semi-square Uranus 0.3°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Saturn 0.6°
- Mars semi-sextile Jupiter 0.6°
- Mercury semi-square Venus 1.0°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.2°
- Mercury sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jay Baruchel, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Jay’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q316756, 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.
