What the chart says
Jonathan, according to the stars
Core essence
Jonathan is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Jonathan is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.
The vibe
Underneath, Jonathan is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Jonathan needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Jonathan wants to be loved
Jonathan 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 Jonathan you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.
How Jonathan creates
How Jonathan makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Jonathan creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Jonathan is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. Jonathan is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Jonathan 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.

If you only read one paragraph
Aquarius Sun
Aquarius SunCares about everyone, needs space.
Jonathan Larson's Sun was in Aquarius for the whole of February 4, 1960, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aquarius readings associate the sign with independence, ideas and a stance slightly apart from the group it belongs to. Astrologers describe it as the fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus, and read it for principle and originality. The corresponding tension is detachment, with the classical caution that caring about everyone can be easier than being close to anyone.
Earth Rat
Earth RatQuick, clever, never stuck.
Jonathan Larson was born on February 4, 1960, which falls in a Earth Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 4
Life Path 4Plans, then plans the plan.
Jonathan Larson's birth date, February 4, 1960, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.
What stands out in Jonathan’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Jonathan Larson's date-only chart is Venus sextile Neptune, with an orb of about 1°.
- Three planets, Venus, Mars and Saturn, sit together in Capricorn, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Jonathan Larson combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Architect.
Jonathan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Jonathan Larson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 10° to 22° Taurus 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.

Jonathan’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.
⚷ ChironAquarius 26°36′ (moves 0.07° 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 Jonathan making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 23°10′ (moves 0.39° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Jonathan caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosAquarius 6°28′ (moves 0.59° 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. Jonathan is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Leo 25°24′ (moves 0.20° 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 Jonathan at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithGemini 19°33′ (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 Jonathan 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.
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Uranus 0.3°
- Hygiea trine Jupiter 0.4°
- Chiron sextile Jupiter 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mercury 2.0°
- Eros square Neptune 2.7°
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°).
Jonathan’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. ♄ Saturn8.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Venus, Mars; 3 major aspects
2. ♅ Uranus8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun, Mercury; 3 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Jonathan 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 Jonathan’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.
- Saturn biquintile Uranus 0.2°
- Sun semi-sextile Mars 1.1°
- Sun semi-sextile Saturn 1.5°
- Jupiter semi-square Neptune 1.7°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Jonathan Larson, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Jonathan Larson, 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
Jonathan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q449002, 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.
