What the chart says

Selina, according to the stars

How Selina wants to be loved

Selina wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Selina, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.

How Selina creates

How Selina makes things happen: they light the room. A Yang Fire day master is the sun, warm, visible, impossible to ignore, generous with energy and expecting the same back. Selina creates in front of people and is at their best with an audience and a cause. The work is learning to rest before the fire does it for them.

Instinct

Instinct: Selina 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Selina is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.

Triggers

Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Selina does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

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.

The quick version

Aries or Taurus Sun

Selina Tusitala Marsh was born on a day when the Sun moved from Aries into Taurus. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.

Metal Pig

Assumes the best. Usually right.

Selina Tusitala Marsh was born on April 21, 1971, which falls in a Metal 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 7

Digs under every answer.

Selina Tusitala Marsh's birth date, April 21, 1971, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.

Selina’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Selina Tusitala Marsh, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 25° to 9° Aquarius or 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.

The working: aspects, Chiron and the asteroids, dominant planets and configurationsshow

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.

  • stableVenusoppositionPluto0.1° to 1.3° orb

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

  • stableMarstrineSaturn0.3° to 0.7° orb

    Selina’s drive flows straight into their discipline.

  • stableSunconjunctionMercury0.9° to 2.6° orb

    Selina’s core identity and mind act as one. Wherever one goes, the other is already there.

    Selina’s growth and imagination act as one. Each makes the other louder.

  • stableVenussextileMars3.4° to 4.0° orb

    Selina’s affections open doors for their drive.

  • stableVenussextileSaturn3.7° to 4.8° orb

    Selina’s drive flows straight into their depths. A talent so smooth it can go unnoticed.

  • stableMercurysquareMars4.8° to 6.1° orb

    Selina’s mind grinds against their drive. The angle that irritates, and the one that teaches.

  • stableSaturntrinePluto4.9° to 5.1° orb

    Selina’s discipline flows straight into their depths. Effortless, which is exactly why it gets taken for granted.

Selina’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 10°60′ (moves 0.06° 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: Selina may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.

  • CeresTaurus 27°55′ (moves 0.40° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Taurus is read as nurture through the physical: food, comfort, a steady presence. Selina is read as someone who shows care by providing.

  • ErosTaurus 11°27′ (moves 0.81° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Taurus is read as desire through the senses and through time. The reading has Selina wanting what can be touched, kept and returned to.

  • HygieaLeo 5°53′ (moves 0.13° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Leo is read as vitality that runs on purpose and recognition. The reading has Selina at their best with something to be proud of.

  • Black Moon LilithVirgo 25°34′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Selina exacting with themselves first.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Chiron opposition Uranus 0.3°
  • Ceres trine Pluto 0.4°
  • Hygiea trine Jupiter 0.7°
  • Ceres sextile Venus 1.1°
  • Black Moon Lilith opposition Venus 1.2°
  • Black Moon Lilith conjunction Pluto 2.0°
  • Black Moon Lilith trine Mars 2.5°

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°).

Selina’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. 1. Venus10 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Taurus; disposes Sun, Saturn, Uranus; 4 major aspects

  2. 2. Mars5 pts

    disposes Mercury; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. Jupiter4 pts

    in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Neptune; 1 major aspect

A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Selina is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.

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 Selina’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 Selina Tusitala Marsh, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Selina Tusitala Marsh, 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

Selina’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q38082917, 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.
