What the chart says
Raquel, according to the stars
Core essence
Raquel 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 Raquel is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
How Raquel wants to be loved
Raquel wants to be loved like home. Venus in Cancer needs to feel safe before it feels anything else, and then it feels everything. Remember the small things, meet the family, make the tea. Raquel gives care in a hundred quiet ways and needs to know it is noticed. Consistency is the romance.
How Raquel creates
How Raquel makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Raquel creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Raquel is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Raquel 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 Raquel leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Raquel channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

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

If you only read one paragraph
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunOrder first. Then rest, in theory.
Raquel Welch's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 5, 1940, 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.
Metal Dragon
Metal DragonAmbition with charisma attached.
Raquel Welch was born on September 5, 1940, which falls in a Metal Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Front of the line, alone.
Raquel Welch's birth date, September 5, 1940, 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 Raquel’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Raquel Welch's date-only chart is Mercury trine Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune, sit together in Virgo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Raquel Welch combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Storyteller.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Raquel Welch, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 24° to 9° 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.

Raquel’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.
⚷ ChironCancer 28°05′ (moves 0.09° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Cancer is read as a wound around belonging and being looked after. Raquel is read as someone who learnt to make a home for others before finding one.
⚳ CeresLibra 16°47′ (moves 0.42° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. Raquel is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.
♡ ErosSagittarius 21°51′ (moves 0.31° 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 Raquel attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aries 1°28′ (moves 0.18° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has Raquel feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 9°36′ (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 Raquel 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.
- Chiron conjunction Venus 1.0°
- Chiron sextile Uranus 1.9°
- Hygiea trine Pluto 2.1°
- Eros square Neptune 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°).
Raquel’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. ☿ Mercury12 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Mars, Neptune; 4 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 3 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Pluto; 4 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Raquel 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 Raquel’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 Virgo · Sun, Mercury, Mars, NeptuneThree 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.
- Venus quintile Saturn 0.4°
- Venus quintile Jupiter 0.6°
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.9°
- Venus semi-square Mars 1.2°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Raquel Welch, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as Raquel
Lewis Spratlan was born on September 5, 1940 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

Where this data comes from
Raquel’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q229545, 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.
