The record
What sets Nicholas apart
Shannen Doherty 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
Nicholas, according to the stars
Core essence
Nicholas 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 Nicholas 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.
The vibe
Underneath, Nicholas feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Nicholas needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Nicholas wants to be loved
Nicholas wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Nicholas, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.
How Nicholas creates
How Nicholas makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Nicholas creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Nicholas 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 7 is the seeker. Nicholas is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Nicholas does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

You likely balance a tight inner circle with a wider orbit you dip into.
You may leap first and adjust as you go. Waiting can feel like losing momentum.
You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.
You may want to resolve tension the moment it appears, rather than let it sit.
You may be drawn to big possibilities. The practical follows after the vision.
You may feel connection fast. Chemistry can arrive before the details do.

If you only read one paragraph
Aries Sun
Aries SunFirst through every door.
Nicholas Brendon's Sun was in Aries at the documented birth time. 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.
Metal Pig
Metal PigAssumes the best. Usually right.
Nicholas Brendon was born on April 12, 1971, 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 7
Life Path 7Digs under every answer.
Nicholas Brendon's birth date, April 12, 1971, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.

Nicholas’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.
⚷ ChironAries 10°31′ · House 12
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Nicholas may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresTaurus 24°34′ · House 1
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. Nicholas is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosTaurus 4°44′ · House 1
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Taurus is read as desire through the senses and through time. The reading has Nicholas wanting what can be touched, kept and returned to.
⚕ HygieaLeo 4°55′ · House 4
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Nicholas at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 24°38′ · House 5
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 Nicholas exacting with themselves first.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.
- Chiron opposition Uranus 0.6°
- Hygiea trine Jupiter 0.9°
- Eros conjunction Mercury 1.4°
- Hygiea square Mercury 1.6°
- Hygiea trine Neptune 2.2°
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°).
Nicholas’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ♀ Venus9 pts
rules the Ascendant, Taurus; disposes Mercury, Saturn, Uranus; 3 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars8.5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; traditionally rules the Moon sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects
3. ♄ Saturn6 pts
disposes Mars; angular in the first house; 3 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Nicholas 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 Nicholas’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy.
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.
- Mercury biquintile Pluto 0.4°
- Sun semi-sextile Saturn 0.5°
- Moon semi-sextile Uranus 0.5°
- Mercury quincunx Neptune 0.6°
- Mars semi-square Neptune 0.7°
- Moon semi-square Pluto 1.1°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter 1.2°
- Mercury semi-square Venus 1.6°
