The record
What sets Josh apart
Katie Holmes shares the birth date exactly, so the chart below is nearly the same document for them both. What follows the chart is where they part.
What the chart says
Josh, according to the stars
Core essence
Josh is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Josh 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, Josh needs to be adored a little, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Moon in Leo feels things dramatically and generously and wants them noticed. What Josh needs to feel safe is to be chosen out loud: the compliment said in front of people, the text that says you were thinking of them. They repay it tenfold.
How Josh wants to be loved
Josh 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 Josh even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Josh creates
How Josh 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. Josh 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: Josh 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 Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Josh is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Josh leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Josh 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.

Josh Dallas at a glance
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunNeeds a horizon, any horizon.
Josh Dallas's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of December 18, 1978, so no birth time is needed to settle it. 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.
Earth Horse
Earth HorseCan't stand still. Won't.
Josh Dallas was born on December 18, 1978, which falls in a Earth 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 1
Life Path 1Independent to the core.
Josh Dallas's birth date, December 18, 1978, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.

Josh’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Josh Dallas, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 6° to 18° Leo 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.

Josh’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 ℞Taurus 5°24′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Josh building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresAquarius 5°20′ (moves 0.36° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Josh is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosSagittarius 2°07′ (moves 0.71° 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 Josh attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaCapricorn 25°47′ (moves 0.39° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Capricorn is read as health as discipline and a long game. Josh is read as someone who keeps going past the point others stop, for better and worse.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 7°21′ (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. Josh 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.
- Ceres sextile Mercury 0.7°
- Chiron trine Mars 0.9°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Jupiter 0.9°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mercury 1.3°
- Chiron square Jupiter 2.8°
- Ceres opposition Jupiter 2.9°
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°).
Josh’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. ♃ Jupiter8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Neptune; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Pluto; 3 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn3 pts
disposes Mars; 2 major aspects
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Josh is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
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 Josh’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 Sagittarius · Sun, Mercury, 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.
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.
- Uranus semi-sextile Pluto 0.2°
- Mars semi-square Uranus 0.5°
- Uranus semi-sextile Neptune 0.7°
- Jupiter quintile Pluto 1.3°
- Mercury semi-sextile Mars 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Josh Dallas, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Josh’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q714261, 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.
