What the chart says

Kevin, according to the stars

Core essence

Kevin is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Kevin is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.

The vibe

Underneath, Kevin 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 Kevin 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 Kevin wants to be loved

Kevin wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Kevin be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.

How Kevin creates

How Kevin makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Kevin creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.

Instinct

Instinct: Kevin 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Kevin is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.

Triggers

Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Kevin gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

Dedicate a star to Kevin Puts

Three stars chosen from the real sky above St. Louis on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.

The quick version

Capricorn Sun

Dry wit, dead serious.

Kevin Puts's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 3, 1972, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.

Metal Pig

Assumes the best. Usually right.

Kevin Puts was born on January 3, 1972, which falls in a Metal 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 5

Freedom over comfort, always.

Kevin Puts's birth date, January 3, 1972, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.

Kevin’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Kevin Puts, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 11° to 24° 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.

The working: aspects, Chiron and the asteroids, dominant planets and configurationsshow

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Kevin’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.

  • ChironAries 9°26′ (moves 0.01° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Kevin may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.

  • CeresLeo 22°09′ (moves 0.09° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Kevin is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.

  • ErosSagittarius 17°32′ (moves 0.67° 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 Kevin attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.

  • HygieaScorpio 2°29′ (moves 0.30° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Kevin carrying stress in the body until it is named.

  • Black Moon LilithLibra 24°17′ (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 Kevin 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 orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Eros sextile Uranus 0.6°
  • Ceres trine Jupiter 0.8°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 1.3°
  • Ceres trine Mercury 2.1°
  • Eros conjunction Mercury 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°).

Kevin’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. 1. Jupiter6 pts

    in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Mercury, Neptune; 2 major aspects

  2. 2. Saturn6 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects

  3. 3. Uranus5 pts

    disposes Venus; 4 major aspects

A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Kevin 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 Kevin’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.

  • Uranus semi-square Neptune 1.0°
  • Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.7°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Kevin Puts, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Kevin Puts, 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

Kevin’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q6397282, 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.

The same Kevin Puts at Wikipedia and MusicBrainz.

Roster last reviewed September 10, 2026. Every entry is checked against its Wikidata record; where a person shares a name with someone else, the entity id is what settles which of them this is. What we will not tell you sets out the claims this site refuses to make.
