What the chart says
Martinus, according to the stars
Core essence
Martinus feels the room before entering it. The core of Martinus is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Martinus, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
How Martinus wants to be loved
Martinus wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Martinus like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Martinus creates
How Martinus makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Martinus 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: Martinus 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 2 is the peacemaker. Martinus 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: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Martinus channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

Martinus J. G. Veltman in 15 seconds
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunGuards the people, guards the past.
Martinus J. G. Veltman's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of June 27, 1931, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Metal Goat
Metal GoatKind, and quietly tough.
Martinus J. G. Veltman was born on June 27, 1931, which falls in a Metal 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 2Diplomat by instinct.
Martinus J. G. Veltman's birth date, June 27, 1931, 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.

Martinus’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Martinus J. G. Veltman, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 9° Scorpio or Sagittarius 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.

Martinus’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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 21°46′ (moves 0.05° 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 Martinus building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresLibra 7°26′ (moves 0.23° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. Martinus is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.
♡ ErosLibra 15°46′ (moves 0.53° 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. Martinus is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaCancer 10°08′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Martinus is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 25°28′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Martinus is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.
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.
- Black Moon Lilith trine Jupiter 0.2°
- Eros trine Venus 0.6°
- Chiron trine Saturn 0.7°
- Hygiea sextile Mars 0.9°
- Chiron sextile Pluto 1.8°
- Ceres square Sun 2.6°
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°).
Martinus’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. ☽ Moon7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto
2. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Venus, Mars, Neptune; 2 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn5 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; 3 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Martinus is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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 Martinus’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.

Where this data comes from
Martinus’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q202149, 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.
