What the chart says
Jon, according to the stars
Core essence
Jon makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Jon 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.
How Jon wants to be loved
Jon 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 Jon and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Jon creates
How Jon 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. Jon 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: Jon is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Jon is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
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. Jon fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Jon Fosse in 15 seconds
Libra Sun
Libra SunCharming. Still deciding.
Jon Fosse's Sun was in Libra for the whole of September 29, 1959, 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.
Earth Pig
Earth PigTrusts easily. Rarely regrets it.
Jon Fosse was born on September 29, 1959, which falls in a Earth Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Wants it all. Gets most.
Jon Fosse's birth date, September 29, 1959, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Jon’s chart

- Jon Fosse combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Strategist.
Jon’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jon Fosse, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 19° to 2° Leo or Virgo 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.

Jon’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Aquarius 23°16′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aquarius is read as a wound around fitting in. The tradition has Jon making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 3°17′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Jon is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosScorpio 17°25′ (moves 0.66° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Jon is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaLeo 14°32′ (moves 0.30° over the day)
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 Jon at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithGemini 5°16′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini is read as the part of Jon that says the unsayable and does not take it back.
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 Mercury 0.0°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 0.3°
- Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 0.3°
- Hygiea sextile Mars 0.8°
- Ceres square Pluto 1.7°
- Eros square Uranus 2.2°
- Ceres sextile Sun 2.3°
- Ceres square Venus 2.5°
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°).
Jon’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. ♀ Venus10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mercury, Mars; 4 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn6 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; 4 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Neptune; 4 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Jon 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 Jon’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, Mercury, MarsThree 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.
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.
- Sun semi-sextile Neptune 0.0°
- Venus semi-square Mars 0.4°
- Sun semi-sextile Pluto 0.6°
- Mercury semi-square Jupiter 0.6°
- Sun semi-square Uranus 1.0°
- Mercury semi-square Venus 1.2°
- Mars semi-square Jupiter 1.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jon Fosse, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Jon’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q443868, 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.
