What the chart says

Robert, according to the stars

Core essence

Robert is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Robert is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.

The vibe

Underneath, Robert runs hot. The Moon in Aries means feelings arrive fast and loud and burn out just as fast, so the flare you saw an hour ago is already forgiven. What Robert needs to feel safe is honesty in real time and room to react. Say it straight, and they will always meet you there.

How Robert wants to be loved

Robert wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Robert and watch them fall for you again.

How Robert creates

How Robert makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Robert 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: Robert is wise and watchful, a Snake year, and their gut reaction is to observe before moving. Elegant, intuitive, private, and usually right about people long before saying so. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Robert 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: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Robert fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Robert Charles Wilson in 15 seconds

Sagittarius Sun

Says the quiet part loud.

Robert Charles Wilson's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of December 15, 1953, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.

Water Snake

Watches. Waits. Then precisely.

Robert Charles Wilson was born on December 15, 1953, which falls in a Water Snake year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Snake readings emphasise intelligence, composure and depth: thinking before speaking, and speaking less than it knows. The Chinese almanacs describe the Snake as the sage of the cycle, private and deliberate. The corresponding caution in the tradition is suspicion, with a tendency to hold a grudge as carefully as it holds a secret.

Life Path 9

Carries the whole room's weight.

Robert Charles Wilson's birth date, December 15, 1953, 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.

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Robert Charles Wilson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 14° to 29° 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.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Robert’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.

  • ⚷ ChironCapricorn 19°34′ (moves 0.09° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Capricorn is read as a wound around recognition and authority. Robert is read as someone who earns standing the long way and does not fully trust it when it arrives.

  • ⚳ CeresLibra 3°39′ (moves 0.30° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. Robert is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.

  • ♡ ErosLibra 6°56′ (moves 0.89° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Robert is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.

  • ⚕ Hygiea ℞Cancer 29°15′ (moves 0.12° 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. Robert is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 9°48′ (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 Robert 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 sextile Mercury 0.5°
  • Hygiea square Mars 2.1°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Mercury 2.3°
  • Chiron opposition Uranus 2.6°
  • Black Moon Lilith sextile Venus 3.0°

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°).

Robert’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. 1. ♃ Jupiter10 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mercury, Venus; 4 major aspects

  2. 2. ☉ Sun5 pts

    disposes Pluto; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. ♂ Mars5 pts

    5 major aspects

A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Robert is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.

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 Robert’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, the shape it makesStellium in Sagittarius · 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.

  • Jupiter sesquiquadrate Saturn 0.0°
  • Mercury sesquiquadrate Uranus 0.3°
  • Venus semi-square Mars 0.6°
  • Saturn quintile Pluto 0.8°
  • Jupiter semi-sextile Uranus 1.1°
  • Sun quincunx Uranus 1.4°
  • Mercury semi-sextile Saturn 1.4°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Robert Charles Wilson, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Robert Charles Wilson, 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

Robert’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q240786, 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.
