What the chart says
Reid, according to the stars
Core essence
Reid is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Reid 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.
The vibe
Underneath, Reid needs to be adored a little, and there is nothing wrong with that. The Moon in Leo feels things dramatically and generously and wants them noticed. What Reid needs to feel safe is to be chosen out loud: the compliment said in front of people, the text that says you were thinking of them. They repay it tenfold.
How Reid wants to be loved
Reid 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 Reid and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Reid creates
How Reid makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Reid 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: Reid 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 Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Reid 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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Reid 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
Leo Sun
Leo SunGenerous with the spotlight, mostly.
Reid Hoffman's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 5, 1967, 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.
Fire Goat
Fire GoatGentle hands, strong opinions.
Reid Hoffman was born on August 5, 1967, which falls in a Fire 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 9
Life Path 9Gives without keeping score.
Reid Hoffman's birth date, August 5, 1967, 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.
What stands out in Reid’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Reid Hoffman's date-only chart is Sun trine Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Venus, Uranus and Pluto, 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.
- Reid Hoffman combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Lightkeeper.
Reid’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Reid Hoffman, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 1° to 15° Leo 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.

Reid’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 29°21′ (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 Reid absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresLeo 21°35′ (moves 0.46° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Reid is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosTaurus 21°32′ (moves 0.66° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Taurus is read as desire through the senses and through time. The reading has Reid wanting what can be touched, kept and returned to.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Capricorn 3°04′ (moves 0.07° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Capricorn is read as health as discipline and a long game. Reid is read as someone who keeps going past the point others stop, for better and worse.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 24°42′ (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 Reid 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.
- Ceres square Neptune 0.0°
- Eros opposition Neptune 0.0°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mercury 0.2°
- Eros trine Uranus 0.7°
- Eros trine Pluto 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°).
Reid’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. ☉ Sun9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Jupiter; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Venus, Uranus, Pluto; 2 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto5 pts
disposes Mars, Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Reid 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 Reid’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.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
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-sextile Venus 1.1°
- Venus semi-sextile Jupiter 1.1°
- Venus quincunx Saturn 1.4°
- Mars semi-square Uranus 1.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Reid Hoffman, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as Reid
Erik Selin was born on August 5, 1967 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.

No birth time is on public record for Reid Hoffman, 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
Reid’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q211098, 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.
Roster last reviewed September 10, 2026. Every entry is checked against its Wikidata record; where a person shares a name with someone else, the entity id is what settles which of them this is. What we will not tell you sets out the claims this site refuses to make.
