The record
What sets Jean-Claude apart
The same date carries Craig Mello. The sky is shared; nothing after it is.
What the chart says
Jean-Claude, according to the stars
Core essence
Jean-Claude makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Jean-Claude is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
How Jean-Claude wants to be loved
Jean-Claude 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 Jean-Claude even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Jean-Claude creates
How Jean-Claude 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. Jean-Claude 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: Jean-Claude is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Jean-Claude is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Jean-Claude does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Jean-Claude Van Damme at a glance
Libra Sun
Libra SunFair to a fault, slow to pick.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 18, 1960, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Metal Rat
Metal RatQuick, clever, never stuck.
Jean-Claude Van Damme was born on October 18, 1960, which falls in a Metal Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Jean-Claude Van Damme's birth date, October 18, 1960, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.

Jean-Claude’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jean-Claude Van Damme, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 6° Virgo or Libra 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.

Jean-Claude’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 ℞Aquarius 27°36′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aquarius is read as a wound around fitting in. The tradition has Jean-Claude making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ CeresAquarius 15°30′ (moves 0.08° 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. Jean-Claude is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosLeo 0°50′ (moves 0.92° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Leo is read as desire that wants to be adored and to adore in return. The reading has Jean-Claude loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ HygieaLibra 14°10′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Jean-Claude is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 18°10′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer is read as the refusal to be tamed by the role of carer. The reading has Jean-Claude guarding a private self that family did not get to name.
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.
- Chiron sextile Jupiter 1.1°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mercury 1.4°
- Hygiea square Saturn 1.5°
- Chiron square Venus 1.6°
- Hygiea square Mars 2.1°
- Chiron trine Sun 2.5°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 2.7°
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°).
Jean-Claude’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
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus, Neptune; 3 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn5 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Jean-Claude 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 Jean-Claude’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.
- Mercury quintile Pluto 0.1°
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.0°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Mars 1.1°
- Uranus quintile Neptune 1.4°
- Venus semi-square Saturn 1.7°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jean-Claude Van Damme, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as Jean-Claude
Craig Mello was born on October 18, 1960 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

Where this data comes from
Jean-Claude’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q308840, 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.
