What the chart says
Paul, according to the stars
Core essence
Paul makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Paul is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
The vibe
Underneath, Paul is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Paul needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
How Paul wants to be loved
Paul wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Paul and watch them fall for you again.
How Paul creates
How Paul 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. Paul 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: Paul 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Paul is here to see what others cannot yet and to say it, an antenna for the mood of the moment. Intuitive, inspiring, sometimes overwhelmed by their own sensitivity, and learning to ground the vision in something real.
Triggers
Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Paul 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
Libra Sun
Libra SunBeauty matters. So does balance.
Paul Simon's Sun was in Libra at the documented birth time. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Metal Snake
Metal SnakeWise, cool, hard to read.
Paul Simon was born on October 13, 1941, which falls in a Metal 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 11
Life Path 11Bright signal, thin skin.
Paul Simon's birth date, October 13, 1941, reduces to Life Path 11 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 11 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with intuition, sensitivity and noticing patterns before they become obvious. Numerologists read it as an intensified 2: the partner's gifts under pressure. The corresponding tension is nervous strain, with the caution that perceiving more than most people can be exhausting to carry.

Paul’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.
⚷ ChironLeo 12°52′ · House 12
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Leo is read as a sore spot around being seen. The tradition has Paul performing through the doubt rather than waiting for it to lift.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 3°49′ · House 5
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Paul caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosLibra 6°43′ · House 2
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Paul is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Gemini 8°20′ · House 10
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 Paul needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 24°27′ · House 9
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. Paul is read as immovable on those points.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.
- Chiron square Mercury 1.0°
- Eros sextile Pluto 1.1°
- Hygiea square Ascendant 1.6°
- Hygiea sextile Pluto 2.7°
- Ceres trine Ascendant 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°).
Paul’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ♀ Venus11 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Saturn, Uranus; angular in the fourth house; 4 major aspects
2. ☽ Moon8 pts
rules the Moon sign, Cancer; in its own sign, Cancer; 3 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Ascendant, Virgo; disposes Jupiter, Neptune; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Paul 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.
