What the chart says
Ricky, according to the stars
Core essence
Ricky feels the room before entering it. The core of Ricky 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 Ricky, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
The vibe
Underneath, Ricky feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Ricky needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Ricky wants to be loved
Ricky wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Ricky is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Ricky creates
How Ricky makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Ricky creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: Ricky is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Ricky is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Ricky 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 Ricky Gervais
Three stars chosen from the real sky above Reading 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.
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunRemembers what you said in March.
Ricky Gervais's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of June 25, 1961, 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.
Metal Ox
Metal OxCarries the load without comment.
Ricky Gervais was born on June 25, 1961, which falls in a Metal Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3Makes feelings into something.
Ricky Gervais's birth date, June 25, 1961, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Ricky’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ricky Gervais' date-only chart is Mercury sextile Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Four planets were retrograde on the birth date: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
- Ricky Gervais combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Diplomat.
Ricky’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ricky Gervais, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 15° to 29° Scorpio 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.

Ricky’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 ℞Pisces 6°35′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
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 Ricky absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresTaurus 8°34′ (moves 0.33° 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. Ricky is read as someone who shows care by providing.
♡ ErosScorpio 5°02′ (moves 0.24° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Ricky is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Scorpio 19°17′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Ricky carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 16°01′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Ricky is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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.
- Ceres opposition Neptune 0.1°
- Chiron trine Mercury 0.2°

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°).
Ricky’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. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Mars, Uranus; 3 major aspects
2. ☽ Moon5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Mercury
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Pluto; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Ricky is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.
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 Ricky’s chart

Where this data comes from
Ricky’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q23517, 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.
