What the chart says
Simon, according to the stars
Core essence
Simon is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Simon 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, Simon needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Simon needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.
How Simon wants to be loved
Simon wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Simon like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Simon creates
How Simon 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. Simon 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: Simon is sharp and confident, a Rooster year, and their gut reaction is to say the true thing out loud. Observant, hardworking, honest, and proud of looking the part. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. Simon 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: being fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. Simon has boundless energy for anything with a horizon in it and none for the small print. Aim them at something far away and step back.

Simon Baker in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunGenerous with the spotlight, mostly.
Simon Baker's Sun was in Leo for the whole of July 30, 1969, 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.
Earth Rooster
Earth RoosterPrepared for everything, twice.
Simon Baker was born on July 30, 1969, which falls in a Earth Rooster year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rooster readings emphasise precision, candour and pride in appearance and in work done properly. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rooster as observant and punctual, the sign that notices and says so. The corresponding caution in the tradition is vanity, and a frankness that arrives before anyone asked for it.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Turns effort into standing.
Simon Baker's birth date, July 30, 1969, 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.

Simon’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Simon Baker, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 12° to 27° Aquarius 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.

Simon’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 ℞Aries 6°42′ (moves 0.02° 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: Simon may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aquarius 4°05′ (moves 0.22° 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. Simon is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosGemini 29°24′ (moves 0.87° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Gemini is read as desire that starts in conversation. Simon is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.
⚕ HygieaGemini 4°22′ (moves 0.24° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Simon needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCancer 15°23′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
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 Simon 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. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Chiron trine Sun 0.0°
- Hygiea opposition Mars 0.4°
- Ceres sextile Mars 0.7°
- Eros square Uranus 1.7°
- Chiron trine Mars 1.9°
- Ceres trine Jupiter 1.9°
- Hygiea trine Jupiter 2.2°
- Hygiea sextile Sun 2.4°
- Ceres opposition Sun 2.6°
- Eros square Jupiter 2.8°
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°).
Simon’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 Mercury; 3 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus5 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 2 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter4 pts
disposes Mars; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Simon 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 Simon’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.
- Jupiter biquintile Saturn 0.3°
- Saturn sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.3°
- Mars quintile Pluto 0.4°
- Venus quincunx Neptune 0.6°
- Mercury semi-square Uranus 1.1°
- Sun semi-square Pluto 1.5°
- Saturn biquintile Uranus 1.5°
- Venus semi-square Saturn 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Simon Baker, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Simon’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q192021, 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.
