The record
What sets Keith apart
Steven Spielberg (1946) and Brad Pitt (1963) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Keith, according to the stars
Core essence
Keith is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Keith 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, Keith is quietly running a checklist, and half of it is about you. The Moon in Virgo feels care as responsibility: did you eat, did you get home, is the thing you were worried about handled. What Keith needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How Keith wants to be loved
Keith 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 Keith even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Keith creates
How Keith makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Keith creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: Keith is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 2 is the peacemaker. Keith is here to bring people together, to feel the undercurrents and smooth them, to be the reason a room works. Sensitive, diplomatic, quietly essential, and learning that their own needs count too.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Keith scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunRestless in a good way.
Keith Richards'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 Goat
Water GoatNeeds beauty like air.
Keith Richards was born on December 18, 1943, which falls in a Water Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 2
Life Path 2Listens first, then decides.
Keith Richards's birth date, December 18, 1943, reduces to Life Path 2 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 2 readings associate the number with cooperation, diplomacy and mediation: working alongside others and holding a group together. Numerologists describe it as the path of the partner, and read its influence as quiet rather than visible. The corresponding tension is self-effacement, with the caution that influence exercised through others can go uncounted, including by the person exercising it.

Keith’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.
⚷ ChironVirgo 15°39′ · House 11
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Virgo is read as a wound around never being good enough. The reading has Keith turning that pressure into craft and an eye for what others miss.
⚳ Ceres ℞Cancer 2°55′ · House 9
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. Keith is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosSagittarius 23°37′ · House 2
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 Keith attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaLibra 25°20′ · House 12
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Keith is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 23°07′ · House 10
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. Keith is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.
- Hygiea sextile Sun 0.1°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Saturn 0.2°
- Eros opposition Saturn 0.7°
- Chiron trine Mercury 1.1°
- Ceres square Neptune 1.2°
- Hygiea sextile Jupiter 1.7°

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°).
Keith’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ♇ Pluto10 pts
rules the Ascendant, Scorpio; disposes Venus; angular in the tenth house; 4 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury9 pts
rules the Moon sign, Virgo; disposes Moon, Mars, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun; angular in the tenth house; 2 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Keith is read as someone who does not do things by half and rebuilds after every ending.
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 Keith’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy.
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.

- Sun semi-square Venus 0.9°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto 2.0°
