The record
What sets Matthew apart
Rosie O'Donnell 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
Matthew, according to the stars
Core essence
Matthew leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of Matthew is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.
How Matthew wants to be loved
Matthew 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 Matthew creates
How Matthew makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Matthew creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: Matthew is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Matthew 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: cruelty, and being cornered. Mars in Pisces does not fight straight; Matthew slips away, absorbs it, or turns it into something creative instead. Anger becomes art or empathy. The lesson is learning that they are allowed to take up space and say the hard thing.

Matthew Broderick at a glance
Aries Sun
Aries SunStarts the thing. Then plans it.
Matthew Broderick's Sun was in Aries for the whole of March 21, 1962, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aries readings associate the sign with initiative, directness and a preference for acting before the plan is finished. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal fire sign: the one that starts things. The corresponding tension is impatience, with the classical caution that what Aries begins quickly it may leave for someone else to complete.
Water Tiger
Water TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
Matthew Broderick was born on March 21, 1962, which falls in a Water Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Feeds the room, forgets to eat.
Matthew Broderick's birth date, March 21, 1962, 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 Matthew’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Matthew Broderick's date-only chart is Mercury opposition Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Matthew Broderick combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Diplomat.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Matthew Broderick, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 28° to 10° Virgo or Libra 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.

Matthew’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.
⚷ ChironPisces 7°55′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
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 Matthew absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresTaurus 29°05′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Matthew is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosPisces 26°04′ (moves 0.66° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. Matthew is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 14°52′ (moves 0.35° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. Matthew is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 16°00′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Matthew exacting with themselves first.
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.
- Ceres square Jupiter 0.0°
- Chiron opposition Pluto 0.4°
- Chiron conjunction Mars 0.6°
- Chiron conjunction Mercury 1.2°
- Hygiea sextile Venus 1.3°
- Ceres sextile Sun 1.5°
- Hygiea square Neptune 1.7°
- Ceres square Uranus 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Neptune 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°).
Matthew’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. ♂ Mars8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; disposes Sun, Venus; 3 major aspects
2. ♆ Neptune6 pts
disposes Mercury, Mars; 4 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Pluto; 3 major aspects
A Mars-led chart is read as drive setting the pace: Matthew is read as acting first and reflecting after.
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 Matthew’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.
- Saturn quincunx Pluto 0.2°
- Venus semi-square Jupiter 0.5°
- Venus quincunx Neptune 0.5°
- Mercury semi-sextile Saturn 0.6°
- Venus biquintile Pluto 0.7°
- Mars semi-sextile Saturn 1.2°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.4°
- Sun semi-sextile Jupiter 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Matthew Broderick, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Matthew’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q28755, 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.
