What the chart says
Jim, according to the stars
Core essence
Jim is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Jim is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.
The vibe
Underneath, Jim processes by talking. The Moon in Gemini means a feeling is not real until it has been said out loud, ideally to two people, ideally with a joke attached. What Jim needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Jim wants to be loved
Jim wants to be loved seriously. Venus in Capricorn is slow to open and then loyal for life, and it shows love by building: the plan, the future, the thing that lasts. Respect is the romance. Show Jim you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.
How Jim creates
How Jim 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. Jim 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: Jim is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Jim is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Jim does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

Jim Carrey in 15 seconds
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunPlays the long game. Wins it.
Jim Carrey's Sun was in Capricorn at the documented birth time. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.
Metal Ox
Metal OxCarries the load without comment.
Jim Carrey was born on January 17, 1962, which falls in a Metal Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Gives without keeping score.
Jim Carrey's birth date, January 17, 1962, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.

Jim’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.
⚷ ChironPisces 3°55′ · House 5
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 Jim absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresTaurus 13°35′ · House 7
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Jim is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosAquarius 16°16′ · House 4
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Jim is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ HygieaCapricorn 20°12′ · House 3
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Capricorn is read as health as discipline and a long game. Jim is read as someone who keeps going past the point others stop, for better and worse.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 8°57′ · House 11
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Jim exacting with themselves first.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Jim’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ☿ Mercury9 pts
rules the Moon sign, Gemini; disposes Moon, Pluto; angular in the fourth house; 3 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Venus, Mars; angular in the fourth house; 2 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune6 pts
angular in the first house; 4 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Jim is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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.
