What the chart says
Jim, according to the stars
Core essence
Jim makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Jim 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.
The vibe
Underneath, Jim 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 Jim 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 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 hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Jim creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Jim is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
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.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time.

If you only read one paragraph
Libra Sun
Libra SunCharming. Still deciding.
Jim Ratcliffe's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 18, 1952, 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.
Water Dragon
Water DragonBig energy, bigger plans.
Jim Ratcliffe was born on October 18, 1952, which falls in a Water Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Carries the whole room's weight.
Jim Ratcliffe's birth date, October 18, 1952, 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.
What stands out in Jim’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Jim Ratcliffe's date-only chart is Jupiter sextile Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Saturn and Neptune, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.

- Jim Ratcliffe combines a Fire Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Radiant Visionary.
Jim’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jim Ratcliffe, 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.

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.
⚷ ChironCapricorn 7°34′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Capricorn is read as a wound around recognition and authority. Jim is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.
⚳ Ceres ℞Gemini 17°27′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Jim feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosSagittarius 4°56′ (moves 0.62° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Jim attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Taurus 25°33′ (moves 0.14° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Jim is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 22°38′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Jim is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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 opposition Venus 0.1°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 0.3°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Neptune 1.1°
- Ceres trine Saturn 1.4°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Sun 2.4°
- Hygiea square Pluto 2.6°
- Black Moon Lilith square Venus 2.8°
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°).
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. ♀ Venus9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune; 2 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto7 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus; 5 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn6 pts
disposes Mars; 5 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Jim 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 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.
Stellium in Libra · Sun, Saturn, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
T-square onto Pluto · Venus, Jupiter, PlutoAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
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.
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 0.2°
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 0.4°
- Mars sesquiquadrate Jupiter 0.9°
- Mars quintile Neptune 0.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jim Ratcliffe, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Jim’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1440023, 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.
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.
