What the chart says
Robin, according to the stars
Core essence
Robin feels the room before entering it. The core of Robin 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 Robin, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
The vibe
Underneath, Robin 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 Robin 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 Robin wants to be loved
Robin 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 Robin and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Robin creates
How Robin makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Robin creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Robin is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Robin 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 Robin 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.

If you only read one paragraph
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunHard shell, soft centre.
Robin Williams's Sun was in Cancer at the documented birth time. 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 Rabbit
Metal RabbitThree steps ahead, no fuss.
Robin Williams was born on July 21, 1951, which falls in a Metal Rabbit year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rabbit readings emphasise tact, grace and the ability to settle a room without seeming to try. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rabbit as the diplomat of the cycle, alert to subtleties and fond of comfort. The corresponding caution in the tradition is avoidance: the tendency to slip away from a conflict that needed to happen.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Wants it all. Gets most.
Robin Williams's birth date, July 21, 1951, 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.

Robin’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Sagittarius 27°56′ · House 2
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Sagittarius is read as a sore spot around belief and being taught. The reading has Robin building a philosophy from lived evidence rather than received one.
⚳ Ceres ℞Pisces 16°35′ · House 5
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Robin is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.
♡ ErosAries 13°15′ · House 6
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aries is read as desire that moves first and asks later. Robin is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Pisces 21°06′ · House 5
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Robin needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 1°59′ · House 9
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer is read as the refusal to be tamed by the role of carer. The reading has Robin guarding a private self that family did not get to name.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb.

- Eros conjunction Jupiter 0.6°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Ascendant 1.1°

- Eros square Uranus 2.4°
- Chiron sextile Ascendant 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°).
Robin’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors, angularity and aspect count under the method below.
1. ☽ Moon9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Mars, Uranus; 3 major aspects
2. ♆ Neptune8 pts
rules the Moon sign, Pisces; disposes Moon; 4 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto8 pts
rules the Ascendant, Scorpio; angular in the tenth house; 3 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Robin is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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.
