What the chart says
Roy, according to the stars
Core essence
Roy feels everything, and it is the best and hardest thing about them. The core of Roy is imagination with a soft heart behind it: the daydream, the creative pull, the instinct that knows how someone is doing before they do. They absorb the mood of a room and give back something kinder. Their softness is not weakness, it is the whole point.
The vibe
Underneath, Roy feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Roy needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Roy wants to be loved
Roy 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 Roy be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Roy creates
How Roy 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. Roy 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: Roy is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Roy is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.

The quick version
Pisces Sun
Pisces SunSoft edges, deep pull.
Roy Franklin Nichols's Sun was in Pisces for the whole of March 3, 1896, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Pisces readings associate the sign with imagination, empathy and permeable boundaries: absorbing the mood of a place and turning it into something. Astrologers describe it as the mutable water sign, traditionally ruled by Jupiter and in modern practice by Neptune. The corresponding tension is drift, described in the tradition as a difficulty telling one's own feelings from everyone else's.
Fire Monkey
Fire MonkeyInventive, restless, funny.
Roy Franklin Nichols was born on March 3, 1896, which falls in a Fire Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 3
Life Path 3The storyteller at the table.
Roy Franklin Nichols's birth date, March 3, 1896, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.
What stands out in Roy’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Roy Franklin Nichols' date-only chart is Venus trine Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, sit together in Aquarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Roy Franklin Nichols combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Healer.
Roy’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Roy Franklin Nichols, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 0° to 15° Scorpio 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.

Roy’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 ℞Libra 26°32′ (moves 0.04° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Libra is read as a wound around fairness and partnership. Roy is read as someone who learnt what a fair deal looks like by living through unfair ones.
⚳ CeresAquarius 27°05′ (moves 0.39° 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. Roy is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosSagittarius 22°45′ (moves 0.54° 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 Roy attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ HygieaPisces 23°43′ (moves 0.35° 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 Roy needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 28°37′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces is read as a refusal to be reasonable about longing. Roy is read as someone whose imagination goes where it is not invited.
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.
- Hygiea trine Uranus 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Jupiter 1.2°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Mars 1.6°
- Ceres square Uranus 2.6°
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°).
Roy’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. ♆ Neptune8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Pisces; disposes Sun; 4 major aspects
2. ☿ Mercury6 pts
disposes Neptune, Pluto; 4 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Saturn, Uranus; 4 major aspects
A Neptune-led chart is read as imagination and porousness leading: Roy is read as tuned to what is not said.
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 Roy’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.
- Mars sesquiquadrate Neptune 0.1°
- Jupiter semi-square Neptune 0.5°
- Mars quintile Saturn 0.9°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Jupiter 1.2°
- Sun semi-square Mars 1.5°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Roy Franklin Nichols, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Roy’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3942008, 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.
