What the chart says
Red, according to the stars
Core essence
Red feels the room before entering it. The core of Red is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Red, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
How Red wants to be loved
Red wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Red like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Red creates
How Red makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Red creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: Red 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 3 is the creative. Red is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Red 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.

Red Skelton at a glance
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunRemembers what you said in March.
Red Skelton's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of July 18, 1913, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Water Ox
Water OxCarries the load without comment.
Red Skelton was born on July 18, 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 3
Life Path 3Makes feelings into something.
Red Skelton's birth date, July 18, 1913, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Red’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Red Skelton's date-only chart is Sun conjunction Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Neptune and Pluto, sit together in Cancer, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Red Skelton combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Diplomat.
Red’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Red Skelton, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 24° to 7° Capricorn or 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.

Red’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°42′ (moves 0.03° 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 Red absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresScorpio 18°33′ (moves 0.08° 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. Red is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosLeo 17°44′ (moves 0.91° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Leo is read as desire that wants to be adored and to adore in return. The reading has Red loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ HygieaTaurus 20°28′ (moves 0.23° 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. Red is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 15°28′ (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. Red 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 Mercury 0.2°
- Ceres square Mercury 0.6°
- Chiron square Saturn 1.0°
- Black Moon Lilith square Saturn 1.8°
- Hygiea conjunction Mars 2.2°
- Hygiea square Mercury 2.5°
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°).
Red’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. ☽ Moon6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Neptune, Pluto
2. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Venus, Saturn; 2 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun3 pts
disposes Mercury; 2 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Red is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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 Red’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 Cancer · Sun, Neptune, 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.
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.0°
- Uranus biquintile Pluto 0.2°
- Venus semi-square Neptune 0.3°
- Mercury biquintile Jupiter 0.6°
- Venus quincunx Jupiter 0.8°
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 2.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Red Skelton, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Red Skelton, 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
Red’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1277029, 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.
