What the chart says
Robert, according to the stars
Core essence
Robert is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Robert is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
The vibe
Underneath, Robert is porous: other people's moods get in, and so does beauty, and so does the sad song. The Moon in Pisces feels everything and forgives most of it. What Robert needs to feel safe is gentleness and someone who does not make them explain the tears. They will love you back with their whole imagination.
How Robert wants to be loved
Robert wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Robert and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Robert creates
How Robert makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Robert creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Robert is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Robert is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Robert is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

Robert De Niro at a glance
Leo Sun
Leo SunPride is the engine.
Robert De Niro's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 17, 1943, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Water Goat
Water GoatNeeds beauty like air.
Robert De Niro was born on August 17, 1943, which falls in a Water Goat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Goat readings emphasise gentleness, creativity and a preference for harmony over conflict. The Chinese almanacs describe the Goat as the artist of the cycle, kind and easily moved, and associate it with taste and care for others. The corresponding caution in the tradition is dependence: a need for reassurance that can become a reluctance to decide alone.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Responsible before asked.
Robert De Niro's birth date, August 17, 1943, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Robert’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Robert De Niro's date-only chart is Sun sextile Saturn, with an orb of under 1°.

- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Robert De Niro combines a Fire Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Radiant Guardian.
Robert’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Robert De Niro, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 12° to 27° Pisces 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.
⚷ ChironVirgo 2°53′ (moves 0.14° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Virgo is read as a wound around never being good enough. The reading has Robert turning that pressure into craft and an eye for what others miss.
⚳ CeresGemini 21°60′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Robert feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosVirgo 24°37′ (moves 0.83° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Virgo is read as desire expressed through attention to detail: noticing, improving, being useful. Robert is read as slow to start and exact once started.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 9°00′ (moves 0.38° 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 LilithLeo 9°28′ (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. Robert 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.
- Eros square Saturn 0.4°
- Hygiea square Uranus 0.5°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Uranus 0.9°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Jupiter 1.0°
- Ceres square Venus 1.5°
- Eros trine Mars 1.7°
- Ceres sextile Sun 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 2.1°
- Ceres conjunction Saturn 2.2°
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°).
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. ☉ Sun9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Jupiter, Pluto; 2 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury8 pts
in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Venus, Saturn, Uranus; 3 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus5 pts
disposes Mars, Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Robert 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 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 in Leo · Sun, Jupiter, 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.
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.
- Mars quintile Pluto 1.0°
- Jupiter semi-square Saturn 1.3°
- Saturn semi-square Pluto 1.8°
- Venus semi-square Pluto 1.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Robert De Niro, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Robert De Niro, 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 Q36949, 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.
