What the chart says
Nick, according to the stars
Core essence
Nick 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 Nick 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 Nick wants to be loved
Nick wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Nick is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Nick creates
How Nick 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. Nick 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: Nick is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Nick is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Nick gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

The quick version
Aries Sun
Aries SunFires first. Thinks later.
Nick Ut's Sun was in Aries for the whole of March 29, 1951, 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.
Metal Rabbit
Metal RabbitThree steps ahead, no fuss.
Nick Ut was born on March 29, 1951, which falls in a Metal Rabbit year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rabbit readings emphasise tact, grace and the ability to settle a room without seeming to try. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rabbit as the diplomat of the cycle, alert to subtleties and fond of comfort. The corresponding caution in the tradition is avoidance: the tendency to slip away from a conflict that needed to happen.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3Talks it, jokes it, lives it.
Nick Ut's birth date, March 29, 1951, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Nick’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Nick Ut's date-only chart is Neptune sextile Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Mars, sit together in Aries, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Nick Ut 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.
Nick’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Nick Ut, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 0° Sagittarius or Capricorn 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.

Nick’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.
⚷ ChironCapricorn 2°39′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Capricorn is read as a wound around recognition and authority. Nick is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.
⚳ CeresAquarius 23°54′ (moves 0.35° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Nick is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosAquarius 19°44′ (moves 0.54° 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. Nick is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 27°50′ (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. Nick is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithGemini 19°13′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini is read as the part of Nick that says the unsayable and does not take it back.
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 sextile Mercury 0.1°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Neptune 0.8°
- Eros sextile Mars 1.1°
- Eros trine Neptune 1.3°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Mars 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Pluto 1.6°
- Eros opposition Pluto 2.1°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 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°).
Nick’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. ♂ Mars10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; in its own sign, Aries; disposes Sun, Mercury; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Saturn; 3 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Neptune; 1 major aspect
A Mars-led chart is read as drive setting the pace: Nick 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 Nick’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.
Stellium in Aries · Sun, Mercury, MarsThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
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.
- Venus semi-square Jupiter 0.1°
- Mercury semi-sextile Jupiter 0.5°
- Mercury quintile Uranus 0.6°
- Jupiter biquintile Pluto 0.9°
- Sun semi-sextile Venus 1.7°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Nick Ut, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Nick’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q362337, 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.
