What the chart says
Nils, according to the stars
Core essence
Nils is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Nils is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
How Nils wants to be loved
Nils wants to be loved seriously. Venus in Capricorn is slow to open and then loyal for life, and it shows love by building: the plan, the future, the thing that lasts. Respect is the romance. Show Nils you are in it for real and the reserve melts into a warmth almost nobody else gets to see.
How Nils creates
How Nils makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Nils creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: Nils is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 2 is the peacemaker. Nils is here to bring people together, to feel the undercurrents and smooth them, to be the reason a room works. Sensitive, diplomatic, quietly essential, and learning that their own needs count too.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Nils 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.

If you only read one paragraph
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunBlunt, cheerful, gone by morning.
Nils Gustaf Dalén's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of November 30, 1869, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Earth Snake
Earth SnakeSays less than it knows.
Nils Gustaf Dalén was born on November 30, 1869, which falls in a Earth Snake year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.
Life Path 2
Life Path 2Holds the room together.
Nils Gustaf Dalén's birth date, November 30, 1869, reduces to Life Path 2 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 2 readings associate the number with cooperation, diplomacy and mediation: working alongside others and holding a group together. Numerologists describe it as the path of the partner, and read its influence as quiet rather than visible. The corresponding tension is self-effacement, with the caution that influence exercised through others can go uncounted, including by the person exercising it.
What stands out in Nils’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Nils Gustaf Dalén's date-only chart is Saturn trine Neptune, with an orb of about 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Saturn, sit together in Sagittarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Nils Gustaf Dalén combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Healer.
Nils’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Nils Gustaf Dalén, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 20° to 5° Libra or Scorpio 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.

Counted across the ten planets by sign.
Nils’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 ℞Pisces 29°30′ (moves 0.01° 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 Nils absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 23°26′ (moves 0.22° 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. Nils is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosSagittarius 7°40′ (moves 0.67° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Nils attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 24°58′ (moves 0.18° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Nils needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 10°13′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Nils carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
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.
- Eros conjunction Sun 0.7°
- Chiron trine Mercury 1.5°
- Ceres trine Venus 1.6°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 1.9°
- Chiron square Mars 2.3°
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°).
Nils’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. ♃ Jupiter7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Saturn; 1 major aspect
2. ♀ Venus3 pts
disposes Jupiter, Pluto; 1 major aspect
3. ♄ Saturn3 pts
disposes Venus, Mars; 1 major aspect
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Nils is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
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 Nils’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 Sagittarius · Sun, Mercury, SaturnThree 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.

- Sun semi-square Venus 1.7°
- Saturn quincunx Pluto 1.7°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Nils Gustaf Dalén, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Nils’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q160518, 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.
