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.

How Jim wants to be loved

Jim 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 Jim even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.

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 creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Jim 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: 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. Jim fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

If you only read one paragraph

Capricorn Sun

Plays the long game. Wins it.

Jim Murray's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of December 29, 1919, so no birth time is needed to settle it. 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.

Earth Goat

Gentle hands, strong opinions.

Jim Murray was born on December 29, 1919, which falls in a Earth Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.

Life Path 7

Needs the quiet to work.

Jim Murray's birth date, December 29, 1919, 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.

Jim’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Jim Murray, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 7° Pisces or Aries 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.

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. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.

  • ⚷ ChironAries 2°35′ (moves 0.01° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Jim may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.

  • ⚳ CeresPisces 27°20′ (moves 0.24° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Jim is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.

  • ♡ ErosAquarius 28°40′ (moves 0.60° over the day)

    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.

  • ⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 15°16′ (moves 0.17° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Jim needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 7°49′ (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 Jim 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 trine Mars 0.1°
  • Eros conjunction Uranus 0.2°
  • Hygiea opposition Mercury 1.4°
  • Hygiea sextile Jupiter 1.9°

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°).

Jim’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. ♄ Saturn7 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects

  2. 2. ☿ Mercury5 pts

    disposes Saturn; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. ♃ Jupiter5 pts

    disposes Mercury; 4 major aspects

A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Jim 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.

Configurations in Jim’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 Uranus 0.2°
  • Venus quintile Saturn 0.3°
  • Saturn semi-sextile Neptune 0.6°
  • Sun semi-square Venus 1.4°
  • Mars sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.5°
  • Venus sesquiquadrate Pluto 1.6°

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

No birth time is on public record for Jim Murray, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.

Where this data comes from

Jim’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q15497300, 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.

The same Jim Murray at Wikipedia.

Roster last reviewed September 10, 2026. Every entry is checked against its Wikidata record; where a person shares a name with someone else, the entity id is what settles which of them this is. What we will not tell you sets out the claims this site refuses to make.
