What the chart says

Peter, according to the stars

Core essence

Peter is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Peter needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.

The vibe

Underneath, Peter needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Peter needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.

How Peter wants to be loved

Peter 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 Peter creates

How Peter makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Peter creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.

Instinct

Instinct: Peter is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Peter is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.

Triggers

Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Peter 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.

Peter Cushing in 15 seconds

Gemini Sun

Four conversations, one person.

Peter Cushing's Sun was in Gemini for the whole of May 26, 1913, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Gemini readings associate the sign with curiosity, conversation and range: several interests held at once and a talent for connecting people and ideas. Astrologers describe it as the mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury. The corresponding tension is restlessness, with the classical caution that the next subject is always more interesting than finishing the current one.

Water Ox

Carries the load without comment.

Peter Cushing was born on May 26, 1913, which falls in a Water Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.

Life Path 9

Gives without keeping score.

Peter Cushing's birth date, May 26, 1913, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Peter Cushing, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 12° to 24° Aquarius 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.

Peter’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.

  • ⚷ ChironPisces 14°53′ (moves 0.02° 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 Peter absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.

  • ⚳ Ceres ℞Scorpio 22°27′ (moves 0.21° over the day)

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

    Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Peter is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.

  • ♡ ErosGemini 28°55′ (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. Peter is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.

  • ⚕ HygieaTaurus 5°38′ (moves 0.31° over the day)

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

    Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Peter is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 9°32′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Peter is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.

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 Pluto 0.0°
  • Eros sextile Venus 1.0°
  • Ceres trine Neptune 1.5°
  • Hygiea square Uranus 1.8°
  • Chiron sextile Jupiter 2.3°
  • Black Moon Lilith square Saturn 2.4°

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°).

Peter’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. ☿ Mercury7 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Saturn, Pluto; 1 major aspect

  2. 2. ♂ Mars4 pts

    in its own sign, Aries; disposes Venus; 1 major aspect

  3. 3. ♅ Uranus4 pts

    in its own sign, Aquarius; 2 major aspects

A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Peter 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 Peter’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, the shape it makesStellium in Gemini · Sun, Saturn, PlutoThree 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.

  • Mercury semi-sextile Venus 1.2°
  • Saturn semi-square Neptune 1.8°

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

No birth time is on public record for Peter Cushing, 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

Peter’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q309589, 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.
