What the chart says
Roger, according to the stars
Core essence
Roger is playing a longer game than everyone else at the table. The core of Roger is quiet ambition and a dry, private sense of humour that only their people get to see. They are the one who actually does the thing, and then does not mention it. Underneath the composure is someone who wants very badly to be proud of what they built.
The vibe
Underneath, Roger 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 Roger 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 Roger wants to be loved
Roger wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Roger be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Roger creates
How Roger makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Roger creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: Roger is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Roger is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Roger leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Roger 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.

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.
Capricorn Sun
Capricorn SunDry wit, dead serious.
Roger Guillemin's Sun was in Capricorn for the whole of January 11, 1924, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Capricorn readings associate the sign with ambition, structure and the long game: building slowly toward a position that will hold. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal earth sign, ruled by Saturn, and read it for discipline and reserve. The corresponding tension is severity, described in the tradition as a seriousness that can be turned on the self as hard as on the work.
Water Pig
Water PigAssumes the best. Usually right.
Roger Guillemin was born on January 11, 1924, which falls in a Water Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Independent to the core.
Roger Guillemin's birth date, January 11, 1924, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Roger’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Roger Guillemin's date-only chart is Venus opposition Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.

Roger’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Roger Guillemin, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 28° 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.

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.

Roger’s affections pull against their imagination from across the wheel. A see-saw looking for balance, often played out through other people.

Roger’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.
⚷ ChironAries 16°36′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Roger may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresAquarius 26°17′ (moves 0.37° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Roger is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosLibra 8°47′ (moves 0.77° 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. Roger is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaPisces 16°00′ (moves 0.28° over the day)
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 Roger needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 22°01′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Roger is read as immovable on those points.
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 Jupiter 1.4°
- Hygiea conjunction Uranus 1.4°
- Ceres square Mars 1.6°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mercury 1.9°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 2.0°
- Black Moon Lilith square Venus 2.0°
- Black Moon Lilith square Neptune 2.2°
- Eros square Pluto 2.4°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Mars 2.7°
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°).
Roger’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. ♄ Saturn5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun, Mercury
2. ♂ Mars4 pts
4 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun3 pts
disposes Neptune; 2 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Roger is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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 Roger’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.

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

No birth time is on public record for Roger Guillemin, 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
Roger’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q242169, 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.
