The record
What sets Lea apart
Daryl Katz 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
Lea, according to the stars
Core essence
Lea is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Lea needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Lea is steadier than they let on and more tender than they let on, both at once. The Moon in Capricorn feels deeply and privately, and would rather fix the problem than talk about the feeling. What Lea needs to feel safe is reliability and respect. They soften completely for the people who earn it.
How Lea wants to be loved
Lea wants to be loved boldly. Venus in Aries falls fast, says so, and wants you to chase back. Grand gestures land, so does a fight followed by a proper make-up. What bores them is hesitation. Be direct, be a little brave about them, and keep the spark lit on purpose.
How Lea creates
How Lea 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. Lea 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: Lea is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Lea is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Lea fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

Lea Thompson at a glance
Gemini Sun
Gemini SunFour conversations, one person.
Lea Thompson's Sun was in Gemini at the documented birth time. Traditional Gemini readings associate the sign with curiosity, conversation and range: several interests held at once and a talent for connecting people and ideas. Astrologers describe it as the mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury. The corresponding tension is restlessness, with the classical caution that the next subject is always more interesting than finishing the current one.
Metal Ox
Metal OxCarries the load without comment.
Lea Thompson was born on May 31, 1961, which falls in a Metal Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Lea Thompson's birth date, May 31, 1961, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.

Lea’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.
⚷ ChironPisces 6°39′ · House 6
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Lea absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresAries 29°59′ · House 7
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Lea looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ Eros ℞Scorpio 1°56′ · House 2
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Lea is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Scorpio 22°08′ · House 2
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 Lea carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 13°16′ · House 11
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. Lea is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

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°).
Lea’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ☿ Mercury10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Pluto; angular in the tenth house; 3 major aspects
2. ♄ Saturn9 pts
rules the Moon sign, Capricorn; in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Moon; angular in the fourth house; 2 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus7 pts
rules the Ascendant, Libra; angular in the seventh house; 3 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Lea 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.
