What the chart says
Peter, according to the stars
Core essence
Peter is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Peter is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
How Peter wants to be loved
Peter wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Peter and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Peter creates
How Peter 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. Peter 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: Peter is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Peter is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Peter is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
The quick version
Leo Sun
Leo SunPride is the engine.
Peter Hyams's Sun was in Leo for the whole of July 26, 1943, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Water Goat
Water GoatNeeds beauty like air.
Peter Hyams was born on July 26, 1943, which falls in a Water Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 5
Life Path 5Five doors open at once.
Peter Hyams's birth date, July 26, 1943, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.
What stands out in Peter’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Peter Hyams' date-only chart is Mercury square Mars, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Pluto, sit together in Leo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- No planet falls in Water signs in this chart.
- Peter Hyams combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Architect.
Peter’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Peter Hyams, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 8° Taurus or Gemini 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.
⚷ ChironLeo or Virgo during this date
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 Peter performing through the doubt rather than waiting for it to lift.
⚳ CeresGemini 14°19′ (moves 0.36° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Peter feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosVirgo 5°48′ (moves 0.87° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Virgo is read as desire expressed through attention to detail: noticing, improving, being useful. Peter is read as slow to start and exact once started.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 0°49′ (moves 0.36° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. Peter is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 7°00′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Peter is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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.
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 0.3°
- Ceres square Venus 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Uranus 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Jupiter 1.4°
- Eros square Uranus 2.0°
- Ceres sextile Mercury 2.1°
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. ☉ Sun11 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury7 pts
disposes Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune; 3 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto5 pts
5 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Peter is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.
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 in Leo · Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, 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.
- Saturn semi-square Pluto 0.3°
- Jupiter semi-square Saturn 1.4°
- Mercury semi-sextile Venus 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Peter Hyams, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Mick Jagger was born on July 26, 1943 too, the same date with the same year. The Sun sign, year animal and Life Path are shared exactly. Same sky, different lives.

No birth time is on public record for Peter Hyams, 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 Q458766, 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.
