The record
What sets Ricki apart
Kwame Nkrumah (1909) and Stephen King (1947) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Ricki, according to the stars
Core essence
Ricki notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Ricki is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Ricki is quietly running a checklist, and half of it is about you. The Moon in Virgo feels care as responsibility: did you eat, did you get home, is the thing you were worried about handled. What Ricki needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How Ricki wants to be loved
Ricki wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Ricki gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Ricki creates
How Ricki 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. Ricki 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: Ricki is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Ricki 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 Ricki 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.

Virgo Sun
Virgo SunSees the typo from across the room.
Ricki Lake's Sun was in Virgo at the documented birth time. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Earth Monkey
Earth MonkeyClever, playful, never bored.
Ricki Lake was born on September 21, 1968, which falls in a Earth Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Gives without keeping score.
Ricki Lake's birth date, September 21, 1968, 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.

Ricki’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Aries 1°12′ · House 7
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Ricki may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresScorpio 17°57′ · House 2
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. Ricki is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosSagittarius 6°11′ · House 3
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Ricki attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aries 4°20′ · House 7
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has Ricki feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithGemini 10°41′ · House 9
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini is read as the part of Ricki that says the unsayable and does not take it back.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.
- Ceres sextile Jupiter 1.1°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 1.6°
- Ceres sextile Moon 1.8°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Ascendant 2.3°
- Chiron opposition Sun 2.6°
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°).
Ricki’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ☿ Mercury15 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; rules the Moon sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto; angular in the first house; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus10 pts
rules the Ascendant, Libra; in its own sign, Libra; disposes Mercury; angular in the first house; 2 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Neptune; 5 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Ricki is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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 Ricki’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy.
Stellium in Virgo · Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, 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.
Yod onto Saturn · Neptune, Pluto, SaturnTwo planets in sextile, both quincunx a third. Astrologers call it the finger of fate and read the apex as an adjustment the chart keeps returning to.
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.
- Mars semi-sextile Uranus 0.3°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 0.5°
- Saturn quincunx Neptune 0.5°
- Venus semi-sextile Neptune 0.7°
- Venus semi-sextile Pluto 0.7°
