What the chart says

Nicholas, according to the stars

Core essence

Nicholas is the steady one, the person whose yes means yes and whose Sunday looks the same as it did last year because it was a good Sunday. The core of Nicholas is a deep loyalty to what is real: good food, a good bed, people who show up. They move slowly on purpose. Once they have decided something, it is decided, and that is a comfort to everyone around them.

The vibe

Underneath, Nicholas is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Nicholas needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.

How Nicholas wants to be loved

Nicholas 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 Nicholas creates

How Nicholas makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Nicholas creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.

Instinct

Instinct: Nicholas 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Nicholas 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: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Nicholas 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.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.

Nicholas Hammond in 15 seconds

Taurus Sun

Try rushing a Taurus. Go on.

Nicholas Hammond's Sun was in Taurus for the whole of May 15, 1950, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Taurus readings associate the sign with steadiness, sensory pleasure and things that last. Astrologers describe it as the fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus, and read it for loyalty, routine and a slow, deliberate pace. The corresponding tension is resistance to change, described in the tradition as stubbornness that presents itself as principle.

Metal Tiger

Leaps first, apologises never.

Nicholas Hammond was born on May 15, 1950, which falls in a Metal 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 8

Wants it all. Gets most.

Nicholas Hammond's birth date, May 15, 1950, 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.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Nicholas Hammond, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 3° to 15° Taurus depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

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. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.

  • ChironSagittarius 20°20′ (moves 0.06° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Sagittarius is read as a sore spot around belief and being taught. The reading has Nicholas building a philosophy from lived evidence rather than received one.

  • CeresSagittarius 16°48′ (moves 0.18° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Nicholas is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.

  • ErosGemini 22°59′ (moves 0.91° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Gemini is read as desire that starts in conversation. Nicholas is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.

  • HygieaSagittarius 20°50′ (moves 0.14° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Sagittarius is read as health through movement, space and a reason. Nicholas is read as someone who is well when going somewhere.

  • Black Moon LilithTaurus 13°51′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Nicholas is read as immovable on those points.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Eros square Mars 0.1°
  • Ceres trine Pluto 1.0°
  • Black Moon Lilith trine Saturn 1.3°
  • Ceres sextile Neptune 1.8°
  • Hygiea square Mars 2.0°
  • Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 2.0°
  • Chiron square Mars 2.5°

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 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. 1. Venus8 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Taurus; disposes Sun, Mercury, Neptune; 2 major aspects

  2. 2. Mercury4 pts

    disposes Mars, Saturn; 2 major aspects

  3. 3. Sun3 pts

    disposes Pluto; 2 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. 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.

  • Sun semi-square Venus 1.6°
  • Venus quincunx Saturn 1.7°
  • Uranus semi-square Pluto 1.9°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Nicholas Hammond, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Nicholas Hammond, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.

Where this data comes from

Nicholas’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q266520, 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.
