What the chart says
Pat, according to the stars
Core essence
Pat notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Pat is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Pat cannot fully relax while anyone in the room is unhappy. The Moon in Libra feels through harmony and hates conflict in their own house. What Pat needs to feel safe is fairness, softness and a partner in the small decisions. They are at their best when someone else picks the restaurant and they get to enjoy it.
How Pat wants to be loved
Pat wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore Pat openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.
How Pat creates
How Pat makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Pat builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Pat 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Pat is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Pat leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Pat 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.

Pat Cadigan in 15 seconds
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunFixes everything except the need to.
Pat Cadigan's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 10, 1953, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Water Snake
Water SnakeWatches. Waits. Then precisely.
Pat Cadigan was born on September 10, 1953, which falls in a Water 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 1
Life Path 1Goes first. Works it out.
Pat Cadigan's birth date, September 10, 1953, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Pat’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Pat Cadigan's date-only chart is Uranus square Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Venus, Mars and Pluto, sit together in Leo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Pat Cadigan combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Storyteller.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Pat Cadigan, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 7° to 19° 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.

Pat’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 ℞Capricorn 15°24′ (moves 0.01° 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. Pat is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.
⚳ CeresLeo 25°22′ (moves 0.45° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Pat is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosCancer 7°54′ (moves 0.87° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Cancer is read as desire bound up with safety and memory. Pat is read as drawn to people who feel like somewhere to come back to.
⚕ HygieaCancer 19°18′ (moves 0.26° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Pat is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 29°05′ (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 Pat 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.
- Ceres sextile Saturn 0.2°
- Ceres sextile Jupiter 0.8°
- Hygiea sextile Mercury 1.3°
- Ceres conjunction Pluto 1.7°
- Hygiea sextile Sun 1.7°
- Ceres conjunction Mars 2.0°
- Chiron trine Sun 2.2°
- Hygiea conjunction Uranus 2.8°
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°).
Pat’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. ☿ Mercury10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Jupiter; 3 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Venus, Mars, Pluto; 2 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
5 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Pat is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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 Pat’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.
- Venus quintile Saturn 0.6°
- Uranus semi-sextile Pluto 1.6°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 1.7°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Pat Cadigan, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Amy Irving was born on September 10, 1953 too, the same date with the same year. The Sun sign, year animal and Life Path are shared exactly. Same sky, different lives.

Where this data comes from
Pat’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q266947, 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.
