The record

What sets Jesse apart

The same date carries Juan Pablo Galavis and Sachin Bansal. The sky is shared; nothing after it is.

What the chart says

Jesse, according to the stars

Core essence

Jesse is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Jesse is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.

The vibe

Underneath, Jesse cannot fully relax while anyone in the room is unhappy. The Moon in Libra feels through harmony and hates conflict in their own house. What Jesse needs to feel safe is fairness, softness and a partner in the small decisions. They are at their best when someone else picks the restaurant and they get to enjoy it.

How Jesse wants to be loved

Jesse wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Jesse and they will quietly make your whole life run better.

How Jesse creates

How Jesse makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Jesse creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.

Instinct

Instinct: Jesse is sharp and confident, a Rooster year, and their gut reaction is to say the true thing out loud. Observant, hardworking, honest, and proud of looking the part. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Jesse is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.

Triggers

Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Jesse 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.

The quick version

Leo Sun

Loves an audience. Earns one.

Jesse Williams's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 5, 1981, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.

Metal Rooster

Sharp eye, sharper tongue.

Jesse Williams was born on August 5, 1981, which falls in a Metal Rooster year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rooster readings emphasise precision, candour and pride in appearance and in work done properly. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rooster as observant and punctual, the sign that notices and says so. The corresponding caution in the tradition is vanity, and a frankness that arrives before anyone asked for it.

Life Path 5

Restless, curious, gone.

Jesse Williams's birth date, August 5, 1981, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Jesse Williams, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 13° to 25° 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.

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.

Jesse’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 22°37′ (moves 0.02° 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 Jesse building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.

  • ⚳ CeresVirgo 3°57′ (moves 0.45° 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 Jesse caring in practical detail rather than in words.

  • ♡ ErosTaurus 4°08′ (moves 0.46° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Taurus is read as desire through the senses and through time. The reading has Jesse wanting what can be touched, kept and returned to.

  • ⚕ HygieaCancer 14°03′ (moves 0.32° 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. Jesse is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithScorpio 24°25′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is read as power the person has stopped apologising for. Jesse is read as someone others project onto, and who has learnt to let them.

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 sextile Venus 0.6°
  • Black Moon Lilith conjunction Uranus 1.6°
  • Hygiea conjunction Mars 1.8°

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°).

Jesse’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. 1. ☉ Sun7 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury; 1 major aspect

  2. 2. ☿ Mercury4 pts

    disposes Venus; 3 major aspects

  3. 3. ♀ Venus4 pts

    disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto; 1 major aspect

A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Jesse is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.

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 Jesse’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.

  • Venus quintile Uranus 0.6°
  • Mercury sesquiquadrate Neptune 0.8°
  • Sun semi-sextile Mars 0.9°
  • Mars sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.2°
  • Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.4°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jesse Williams, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from

Jesse’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q40046, 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.
