What the chart says
Richard, according to the stars
Core essence
Richard feels the room before entering it. The core of Richard 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 Richard, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
How Richard wants to be loved
Richard 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 Richard and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Richard creates
How Richard makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Richard builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Richard is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Richard 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: 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.

Richard E. Geis in 15 seconds
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunFeeds you before you ask.
Richard E. Geis's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of July 19, 1927, 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.
Fire Rabbit
Fire RabbitSoft voice, sharp read.
Richard E. Geis was born on July 19, 1927, which falls in a Fire Rabbit year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rabbit readings emphasise tact, grace and the ability to settle a room without seeming to try. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rabbit as the diplomat of the cycle, alert to subtleties and fond of comfort. The corresponding caution in the tradition is avoidance: the tendency to slip away from a conflict that needed to happen.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Wide view, open hands.
Richard E. Geis's birth date, July 19, 1927, 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 Richard’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Richard E. Geis' date-only chart is Jupiter conjunction Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Pluto, sit together in Cancer, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Richard E. Geis combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Visionary.
Richard’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Richard E. Geis, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 9° Pisces or Aries 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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 5°53′ (moves 0.02° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Richard building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ Ceres ℞Sagittarius 7°17′ (moves 0.04° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Richard is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosLeo 3°20′ (moves 0.92° 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 Richard loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ HygieaLibra 12°56′ (moves 0.28° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Libra is read as health that depends on balance and company. Richard is read as someone who wears out in conflict and recovers in harmony.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 15°12′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of Richard that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
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 trine Uranus 0.0°
- Eros trine Jupiter 0.1°
- Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 0.5°
- Eros trine Saturn 2.1°
- Hygiea square Pluto 2.8°
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. ☽ Moon6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Mercury, Pluto
2. ♄ Saturn6 pts
6 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun4 pts
disposes Mars, Neptune; 2 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Richard 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 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 Cancer · Sun, Mercury, 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.
- Mercury semi-sextile Mars 0.2°
- Sun semi-sextile Mars 0.5°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.5°
- Sun semi-sextile Neptune 0.6°
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.8°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 0.8°
- Mars biquintile Uranus 0.8°
- Mars biquintile Jupiter 0.9°
- Mercury semi-square Venus 1.1°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Richard E. Geis, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Richard E. Geis, 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 Q3430739, 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.
