What the chart says
Richard, according to the stars
Core essence
Richard does not do surface. The core of Richard 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 Richard is earned slowly and never given lightly.
How Richard wants to be loved
Richard wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Richard even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Richard creates
How Richard makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Richard 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: Richard is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Richard is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Richard fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

Dedicate a star to Richard Dreyfuss
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.
Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunDeep water, no shallow end.
Richard Dreyfuss's Sun was in Scorpio for the whole of October 29, 1947, 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.
Fire Pig
Fire PigGives more than it gets.
Richard Dreyfuss was born on October 29, 1947, which falls in a Fire Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Responsible before asked.
Richard Dreyfuss's birth date, October 29, 1947, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Richard’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Richard Dreyfuss' date-only chart is Mercury conjunction Venus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Venus, 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.
- Richard Dreyfuss combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Guardian.
Richard’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Richard Dreyfuss, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 27° to 10° Aries or 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.

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.
⚷ ChironScorpio 12°43′ (moves 0.14° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Scorpio is read as a wound around trust and loss. The tradition has Richard carrying an unusual tolerance for what other people cannot look at.
⚳ Ceres ℞Taurus 1°15′ (moves 0.23° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Richard is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosCapricorn 9°17′ (moves 0.50° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Richard is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Cancer 4°19′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Richard is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAquarius 0°21′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius is read as the outsider who chose it. The modern reading has Richard at odds with the group on principle and rarely lonely about 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.
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Jupiter 0.8°
- Hygiea trine Sun 1.1°
- Chiron square Pluto 2.2°
- Eros square Neptune 2.2°
- Chiron square Mars 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°).
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. ♇ Pluto11 pts
rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; disposes Sun, Mercury, Venus; 5 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars6.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Scorpio; 5 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects
A Pluto-led chart is read as intensity and transformation leading: Richard is read as someone who does not do things by half and rebuilds after every ending.
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 in Scorpio · 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.
- Venus biquintile Uranus 0.3°
- Mercury biquintile Uranus 0.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Richard Dreyfuss, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.
Born the same day as Richard
Stephan Schmidheiny was born on October 29, 1947 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
Richard’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q181799, 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.
