What the chart says
Ray, according to the stars
Core essence
Ray does not do surface. The core of Ray is intensity, the kind that wants the real story and can tell when it is not getting it. They love completely or not at all, keep their own counsel, and have a private loyalty that runs deeper than anyone outside it will ever know. Trust from Ray is earned slowly and never given lightly.
The vibe
Underneath, Ray is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Ray needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Ray wants to be loved
Ray 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 Ray and watch them fall for you again.
How Ray creates
How Ray makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Ray creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Ray is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Ray 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 Ray leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Ray runs hot underneath and cold on top; the anger is quiet, deep and long-remembered. They do not lose their temper, they decide. Point that focus at a goal and nothing survives in its way.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunTrusts slowly. Forgets nothing.
Ray Walston's Sun was in Scorpio for the whole of November 2, 1914, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Scorpio readings associate the sign with intensity, depth and strong loyalties: few bonds, held completely. Astrologers describe it as the fixed water sign, traditionally ruled by Mars and in modern practice by Pluto, and read it for privacy and resolve. The corresponding tension is the tendency to guard trust closely and to remember what was done with it.
Wood Tiger
Wood TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
Ray Walston was born on November 2, 1914, which falls in a Wood Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Leads because nobody else moved.
Ray Walston's birth date, November 2, 1914, 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 Ray’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ray Walston's date-only chart is Saturn conjunction Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Mars, sit together in Scorpio, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Seven of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Ray Walston combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Scholar.
Ray’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ray Walston, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 0° to 12° Taurus 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.

Ray’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 ℞Pisces 14°35′ (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 Ray absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresAquarius 19°05′ (moves 0.14° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Ray is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ Eros ℞Pisces 20°27′ (moves 0.10° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. Ray is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ HygieaLeo 0°28′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Ray at their best with something to be proud of.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 8°03′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
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. Ray is read as immovable on those points.
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.
- Hygiea conjunction Neptune 0.0°
- Black Moon Lilith square Uranus 0.3°
- Eros trine Mercury 0.5°
- Ceres square Mercury 0.9°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Sun 1.4°
- Chiron square Venus 2.7°
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°).
Ray’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. ♅ Uranus8 pts
in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Jupiter; 5 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun, Mercury, Mars; 1 major aspect
3. ♃ Jupiter4 pts
disposes Venus; 3 major aspects
A Uranus-led chart is read as the break from pattern leading: Ray is read as someone who changes course before others see the need.
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 Ray’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 Scorpio · Sun, Mercury, MarsThree 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 biquintile Uranus 0.2°
- Uranus biquintile Pluto 0.3°
- Saturn semi-sextile Neptune 1.6°
- Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Ray Walston, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Ray Walston, 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
Ray’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q692800, 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.
