What the chart says
Jimi, according to the stars
Core essence
Jimi is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Jimi is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
The vibe
Underneath, Jimi is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Jimi needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
How Jimi wants to be loved
Jimi wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Jimi and watch them fall for you again.
How Jimi creates
How Jimi makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Jimi builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Jimi is free-spirited, a Horse year, and their gut reaction is to run toward the new thing. Energetic, warm, popular, honest to a fault, and impossible to keep indoors. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Jimi 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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Jimi runs hot underneath and cold on top; the anger is quiet, deep and long-remembered. They do not lose their temper, they decide. Point that focus at a goal and nothing survives in its way.

You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.

Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunRestless in a good way.
Jimi Hendrix's Sun was in Sagittarius at the documented birth time. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Water Horse
Water HorseOpen road, open heart.
Jimi Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, which falls in a Water Horse year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Horse readings emphasise energy, independence and movement: a sign happiest with somewhere to go and impatient with fences. The Chinese almanacs describe the Horse as sociable, quick and difficult to keep in one place. The corresponding caution in the tradition is inconstancy, and the habit of leaving before the work of staying has begun.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Compassion at scale.
Jimi Hendrix's birth date, November 27, 1942, 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.

Jimi’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.
⚷ ChironLeo 29°09′ · House 9
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Leo is read as a sore spot around being seen. The tradition has Jimi performing through the doubt rather than waiting for it to lift.
⚳ CeresPisces 20°42′ · House 4
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Jimi is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.
♡ ErosAquarius 23°41′ · House 3
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. Jimi is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ HygieaLeo 14°05′ · House 9
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Jimi at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 10°10′ · House 8
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 Jimi 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.
- Eros sextile Ascendant 1.0°
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°).
Jimi’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ☽ Moon11 pts
rules the Moon sign, Cancer; in its own sign, Cancer; disposes Jupiter; 5 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury11 pts
disposes Saturn, Uranus; angular in the first house; 7 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun10 pts
disposes Pluto; angular in the first house; 7 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Jimi is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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 Jimi’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy.
Stellium in Sagittarius · Sun, Mercury, VenusThree 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.
