The record

What sets Richard apart

William Shockley (1910) and Robbie Williams (1974) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.

What the chart says

Richard, according to the stars

Core essence

Richard is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Richard is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.

How Richard wants to be loved

Richard wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Richard be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.

How Richard creates

How Richard makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Richard creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.

Instinct

Instinct: Richard is loyal to the bone, a Dog year, and their gut reaction is to protect their people. Honest, fair, a little anxious about the world, and the most dependable friend in the room. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Richard is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.

Triggers

Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Richard does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Dedicate a star to Richard Blumenthal

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Brooklyn on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.

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

Aquarius Sun

Original, and fine with it.

Richard Blumenthal's Sun was in Aquarius for the whole of February 13, 1946, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aquarius readings associate the sign with independence, ideas and a stance slightly apart from the group it belongs to. Astrologers describe it as the fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus, and read it for principle and originality. The corresponding tension is detachment, with the classical caution that caring about everyone can be easier than being close to anyone.

Fire Dog

Guards the gate all night.

Richard Blumenthal was born on February 13, 1946, which falls in a Fire Dog year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dog readings emphasise loyalty, honesty and a strong sense of what is fair. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dog as the guardian of the cycle, protective of its own and quick to notice a wrong. The corresponding caution in the tradition is anxiety: a watchfulness that does not know when to stand down.

Life Path 8

Power, and the bill for it.

Richard Blumenthal's birth date, February 13, 1946, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.

Richard’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Richard Blumenthal, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 0° Cancer or 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.

The working: aspects, Chiron and the asteroids, dominant planets and configurationsshow

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Richard’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 ℞Libra 21°15′ (moves 0.02° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Libra is read as a wound around fairness and partnership. Richard is read as someone who learnt what a fair deal looks like by living through unfair ones.

  • ⚳ CeresCapricorn 16°45′ (moves 0.37° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Richard caring by building something that lasts for others.

  • ♡ ErosAquarius 19°27′ (moves 0.60° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Richard is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.

  • ⚕ HygieaPisces 11°05′ (moves 0.36° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Richard needing solitude to reset.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithScorpio 20°57′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is read as power the person has stopped apologising for. Richard is read as someone others project onto, and who has learnt to let them.

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 trine Saturn 1.9°
  • Chiron square Saturn 2.2°
  • Ceres opposition Mars 2.2°
  • Ceres opposition Saturn 2.3°
  • Hygiea square Uranus 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°).

Richard’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. 1. ♅ Uranus8 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Venus; 2 major aspects

  2. 2. ♀ Venus5 pts

    disposes Jupiter, Neptune; 3 major aspects

  3. 3. ☉ Sun4 pts

    disposes Pluto; 3 major aspects

A Uranus-led chart is read as the break from pattern leading: Richard 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 Richard’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, the shape it makesStellium in Aquarius · Sun, Mercury, VenusThree 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 biquintile Saturn 0.6°
  • Sun sesquiquadrate Neptune 1.1°
  • Mars semi-sextile Uranus 1.1°
  • Jupiter sesquiquadrate Uranus 1.1°
  • Mercury biquintile Saturn 1.4°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Richard Blumenthal, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Richard Blumenthal, 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

Richard’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q2023708, 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.
