What the chart says
Joshua, according to the stars
Core essence
Joshua notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Joshua is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Joshua 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 Joshua 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 Joshua wants to be loved
Joshua wants to be loved like home. Venus in Cancer needs to feel safe before it feels anything else, and then it feels everything. Remember the small things, meet the family, make the tea. Joshua gives care in a hundred quiet ways and needs to know it is noticed. Consistency is the romance.
How Joshua creates
How Joshua makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Joshua 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: Joshua is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Joshua is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Joshua 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.

Joshua Cohen at a glance
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunStandards nobody else can meet.
Joshua Cohen's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 6, 1980, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Metal Monkey
Metal MonkeyWit is the tool.
Joshua Cohen was born on September 6, 1980, which falls in a Metal Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Home is the project.
Joshua Cohen's birth date, September 6, 1980, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Joshua’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Joshua Cohen's date-only chart is Neptune sextile Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, sit together in Virgo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Joshua Cohen combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Healer.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Joshua Cohen, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 7° to 19° 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.

Joshua’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 18°10′ (moves 0.01° 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 Joshua building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresCancer 11°02′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Cancer sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: care as instinct. Joshua is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosLibra 15°04′ (moves 0.78° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Joshua is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaGemini 4°56′ (moves 0.09° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Joshua needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 17°18′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of Joshua that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
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.
- Chiron trine Jupiter 1.1°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Neptune 2.6°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 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°).
Joshua’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. ☿ Mercury12 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Jupiter, Saturn; 4 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
disposes Neptune; 4 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune4 pts
4 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Joshua is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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 Joshua’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 Virgo · Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, SaturnThree 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-square Venus 0.3°
- Mars semi-square Neptune 0.6°
- Jupiter semi-sextile Pluto 1.0°
- Mars semi-square Jupiter 1.2°
- Uranus semi-sextile Pluto 1.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Joshua Cohen, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Joshua’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q6289738, 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.
