The record
What sets Richard apart
Catherine, Princess of Wales (1982) and Jimmy Page (1944) 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 playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Richard is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.
The vibe
Underneath, Richard needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Richard needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.
How Richard wants to be loved
Richard wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Richard, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.
How Richard creates
How Richard makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Richard 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: Richard is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
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 fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. Richard has boundless energy for anything with a horizon in it and none for the small print. Aim them at something far away and step back.

Richard Nixon at a glance
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunPlays the long game. Wins it.
Richard Nixon's Sun was in Capricorn at the documented birth time. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.
Water Rat
Water RatQuick, clever, never stuck.
Richard Nixon was born on January 9, 1913, which falls in a Water Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Feeds the room, forgets to eat.
Richard Nixon's birth date, January 9, 1913, 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.

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.
⚷ ChironPisces 7°47′ · House 7
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 Richard absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresScorpio 15°54′ · House 3
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. Richard is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosPisces 10°52′ · House 7
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. Richard is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ HygieaPisces 22°14′ · House 7
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 LilithAquarius 24°22′ · House 6
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.
- Ceres sextile Ascendant 1.5°
- Hygiea trine Neptune 2.5°
- Hygiea sextile Sun 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, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ♄ Saturn10.5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; traditionally rules the Moon sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Jupiter; 3 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury8 pts
rules the Ascendant, Virgo; disposes Pluto; 4 major aspects
3. ♅ Uranus8 pts
rules the Moon sign, Aquarius; in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Moon; 2 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Richard is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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.
Stellium in Capricorn · Sun, Mercury, JupiterThree 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.
