What the chart says
Robert, according to the stars
Core essence
Robert is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Robert needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Robert is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Robert needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
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 find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Robert creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: Robert is loyal to the bone, a Dog year, and their gut reaction is to protect their people. Honest, fair, a little anxious about the world, and the most dependable friend in the room. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Robert is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Robert does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

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.
If you only read one paragraph
Gemini Sun
Gemini SunFour conversations, one person.
Robert Cummings's Sun was in Gemini for the whole of June 9, 1910, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Gemini readings associate the sign with curiosity, conversation and range: several interests held at once and a talent for connecting people and ideas. Astrologers describe it as the mutable air sign, ruled by Mercury. The corresponding tension is restlessness, with the classical caution that the next subject is always more interesting than finishing the current one.
Metal Dog
Metal DogLoyal past the point of sense.
Robert Cummings was born on June 9, 1910, which falls in a Metal Dog year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dog readings emphasise loyalty, honesty and a strong sense of what is fair. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dog as the guardian of the cycle, protective of its own and quick to notice a wrong. The corresponding caution in the tradition is anxiety: a watchfulness that does not know when to stand down.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Robert Cummings's birth date, June 9, 1910, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in Robert’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Robert Cummings' date-only chart is Mars opposition Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Saturn, sit together in Taurus, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Cardinal signs, making Cardinal the strongest modality in this chart.
- Robert Cummings combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Storyteller.
Robert’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Robert Cummings, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 10° to 24° Cancer 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.

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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Pisces 2°43′
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 Robert absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresAries 11°13′ (moves 0.29° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Robert looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ Eros ℞Sagittarius 0°10′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
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 Robert attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 8°41′ (moves 0.24° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. Robert is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithScorpio 9°02′ (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 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Chiron sextile Saturn 0.1°
- Eros opposition Mercury 0.8°
- Hygiea trine Venus 1.8°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Venus 2.1°
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. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Gemini; disposes Sun, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus6 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn; 1 major aspect
3. ☽ Moon5 pts
in its own sign, Cancer; disposes Mars, Neptune; 1 major aspect
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Robert 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 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 semi-sextile Neptune 0.1°
- Sun semi-square Saturn 0.4°
- Sun biquintile Uranus 0.6°
- Venus quintile Neptune 1.0°
- Mars quintile Jupiter 1.4°
- Uranus quincunx Pluto 1.6°
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 2.1°
- Venus quincunx Jupiter 2.2°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Robert Cummings, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Robert’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q366678, 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.
