What the chart says

Robert, according to the stars

Core essence

Robert feels the room before entering it. The core of Robert 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 Robert, it is whoever they have decided to keep.

How Robert wants to be loved

Robert 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 Robert is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.

How Robert creates

How Robert 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. Robert 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: Robert 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 Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Robert is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.

Triggers

Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Robert runs hot underneath and cold on top; the anger is quiet, deep and long-remembered. They do not lose their temper, they decide. Point that focus at a goal and nothing survives in its way.

✦ A real star from their birth night

Dedicate a star to Robert Coleman Richardson

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Washington 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

Guards the people, guards the past.

Robert Coleman Richardson's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of June 26, 1937, 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 Ox

Reliable to the bone.

Robert Coleman Richardson was born on June 26, 1937, which falls in a Fire 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 7

Solitary, curious, deep.

Robert Coleman Richardson's birth date, June 26, 1937, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.

Robert’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Robert Coleman Richardson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 29° to 11° Capricorn or Aquarius 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

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

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.

  • ChironGemini 25°17′ (moves 0.09° over the day)

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

    Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Robert turning that into a careful, exact way with words.

  • CeresPisces 0°18′ (moves 0.01° over the day)

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

    Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Robert is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.

  • ErosAries 16°52′ (moves 0.54° over the day)

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

    Eros in Aries is read as desire that moves first and asks later. Robert is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.

  • HygieaCancer 29°23′ (moves 0.35° 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 LilithScorpio 29°35′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio is read as power the person has stopped apologising for. Robert is read as someone others project onto, and who has learnt to let them.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Hygiea conjunction Pluto 1.7°
  • Black Moon Lilith trine Pluto 1.9°

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. Venus7 pts

    in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects

  2. 2. Moon5 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Pluto

  3. 3. Mercury4 pts

    in its own sign, Gemini; disposes Neptune; 1 major aspect

A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Robert is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.

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.

No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.

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.

  • Sun sesquiquadrate Mars 0.1°
  • Sun quintile Neptune 0.2°
  • Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn 0.2°
  • Sun semi-square Venus 0.7°
  • Venus semi-square Saturn 0.8°
  • Mercury quincunx Mars 1.5°

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

No birth time is on public record for Robert Coleman Richardson, 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 Q192708, 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.
