What the chart says
Soc, according to the stars
How Soc wants to be loved
Soc wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Soc gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Soc creates
How Soc makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Soc creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.
Instinct
Instinct: Soc is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Soc is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Soc fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

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.
If you only read one paragraph
Virgo or Libra Sun
Soc Clay was born on a day when the Sun moved from Virgo into Libra. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.
Fire Rat
Fire RatResourceful is an understatement.
Soc Clay was born on September 23, 1936, which falls in a Fire Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 6
Life Path 6Home is the project.
Soc Clay's birth date, September 23, 1936, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Soc’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Soc Clay's date-only chart is Jupiter square Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Venus, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- This chart has an even Fire/Air emphasis, with three planets in each.
Soc’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Soc Clay, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 21° to 3° Sagittarius or Capricorn 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.
stableMoontrineMars0.1° to 6.5° orb
Soc’s feelings flow straight into their drive. Effortless, which is exactly why it gets taken for granted.
stableJupitersquareNeptune0.2° to 0.3° orb
Soc’s growth grinds against their imagination. The angle that irritates, and the one that teaches.
stableJupitersquareSaturn0.8° to 1.0° orb
Soc’s growth grinds against their discipline. The friction is lifelong. Worked with, it builds real strength.
stableSaturnoppositionNeptune1.1° to 1.3° orb
Soc’s discipline pulls against their imagination from across the wheel. Two ends of one rope.

Counted across the ten planets by sign.
Soc’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.
⚷ ChironGemini 23°20′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Soc turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 2°32′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Soc is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosScorpio or Libra during this date
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Soc is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaCancer 10°14′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Soc is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 28°50′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of Soc that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
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 Venus 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 0.4°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Mars 0.7°
- Hygiea sextile Uranus 1.3°
- Eros square Pluto 1.8°
- Ceres sextile Sun 2.1°
- Eros sextile Mars 2.1°
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°).
Soc’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. ♀ Venus10 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; in its own sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mercury, Uranus; 2 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; 3 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune3 pts
disposes Saturn; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Soc 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 Soc’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.
Stellium in Libra · Sun, Mercury, VenusThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
T-square onto Jupiter · Saturn, Neptune, JupiterAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
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 semi-sextile Pluto 0.3°
- Venus biquintile Saturn 0.5°
- Mercury semi-square Mars 1.6°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Soc Clay, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Soc Clay, 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
Soc’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q141145659, 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.
Roster last reviewed September 10, 2026. Every entry is checked against its Wikidata record; where a person shares a name with someone else, the entity id is what settles which of them this is. What we will not tell you sets out the claims this site refuses to make.

Quick answers about Soc Clay’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Soc Clay?
- Soc Clay was born on a day when the Sun moved from Virgo into Libra. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one. In the Chinese zodiac they were a Fire Rat.
- What was Soc Clay's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Rat, with the Fire element, from the Chinese lunar year of the September 23, 1936 birth.
- What time was Soc Clay born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- What was Soc Clay's Life Path number?
- Life Path 6, calculated in numerology from the September 23, 1936 birth date.
- What was Soc Clay's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Gemini at 23°. Position from JPL Horizons for the September 23, 1936 birth date.
- Where was Soc Clay's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Libra at 28°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Soc Clay's dominant planet?
- Venus, on AsterNym's dominance score (10 points: rules the Sun sign, Libra; in its own sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mercury, Uranus; 2 major aspects). Jupiter is second and Neptune third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
