What the chart says
Ne-Yo, according to the stars
Core essence
Ne-Yo makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Ne-Yo is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
How Ne-Yo wants to be loved
Ne-Yo 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 Ne-Yo even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Ne-Yo creates
How Ne-Yo 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. Ne-Yo 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: Ne-Yo 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 Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Ne-Yo is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Ne-Yo 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.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

The quick version
Libra Sun
Libra SunMakes the peace, keeps the peace.
Ne-Yo's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 18, 1979, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Earth Goat
Earth GoatArtist first, everything second.
Ne-Yo was born on October 18, 1979, which falls in a Earth 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 9
Life Path 9Wide view, open hands.
Ne-Yo's birth date, October 18, 1979, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.
What stands out in Ne-Yo’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ne-Yo's date-only chart is Neptune sextile Pluto, with an orb of about 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Uranus, sit together in Scorpio, which astrologers call a stellium.
- This chart has an even Earth/Water emphasis, with three planets in each.
- Ne-Yo combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Visionary.
Ne-Yo’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ne-Yo, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 22° to 4° 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.

Ne-Yo’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Taurus 12°19′ (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 Ne-Yo building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aries 9°39′ (moves 0.21° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Ne-Yo looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ ErosAquarius 13°03′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Ne-Yo is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Pisces 19°54′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Ne-Yo needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 11°13′ (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 Ne-Yo 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.
- Hygiea trine Uranus 0.2°
- Eros opposition Mars 0.7°
- Chiron square Mars 1.4°
- Hygiea square Neptune 1.5°
- Hygiea opposition Saturn 2.0°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Venus 2.1°
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°).
Ne-Yo’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. ♀ Venus7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn; 3 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto5 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus, Uranus; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Ne-Yo is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Ne-Yo’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-sextile Pluto 0.3°
- Mercury quintile Jupiter 0.8°
- Jupiter semi-square Pluto 0.8°
- Sun quintile Mars 1.0°
- Uranus semi-sextile Neptune 1.3°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 2.0°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Ne-Yo, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Ne-Yo’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q193710, 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.
