What the chart says
Spider, according to the stars
Core essence
Spider is the friend who says "let's just go" and means today. The core of Spider is faith that the world is bigger and better than the room they are in, and a restlessness to go and check. They are honest to the point of it being a sport, funny by accident, and impossible to keep small. Freedom is not a preference, it is oxygen.
The vibe
Underneath, Spider is quietly running a checklist, and half of it is about you. The Moon in Virgo feels care as responsibility: did you eat, did you get home, is the thing you were worried about handled. What Spider needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How Spider wants to be loved
Spider 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. Spider gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Spider creates
How Spider makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Spider creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Spider 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 Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Spider 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.
Triggers
Triggers: being fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. Spider 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.

If you only read one paragraph
Sagittarius Sun
Sagittarius SunRestless in a good way.
Spider Robinson's Sun was in Sagittarius for the whole of November 24, 1948, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Sagittarius readings associate the sign with distance, belief and candour: travel, big questions and an answer given before it was asked for. Astrologers describe it as the mutable fire sign, ruled by Jupiter, and read it for optimism and appetite. The corresponding tension is overreach, with the classical caution that the horizon is more attractive than the ground underfoot.
Earth Rat
Earth RatCharming, and counting the exits.
Spider Robinson was born on November 24, 1948, which falls in a Earth 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 3
Life Path 3The storyteller at the table.
Spider Robinson's birth date, November 24, 1948, 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.

Spider’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Spider Robinson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 6° to 20° Virgo 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.

Counted across the ten planets by sign.
Spider’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.
⚷ ChironScorpio 29°31′ (moves 0.13° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Scorpio is read as a wound around trust and loss. The tradition has Spider carrying an unusual tolerance for what other people cannot look at.
⚳ CeresLeo 21°53′ (moves 0.18° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Spider is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosScorpio 5°52′ (moves 0.80° over the day)
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. Spider is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 10°43′ (moves 0.22° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. Spider is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 14°02′ (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. Spider 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.
- Eros sextile Saturn 0.1°
- Ceres square Mercury 0.4°
- Chiron conjunction Sun 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°).
Spider’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. ♃ Jupiter9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Sagittarius; disposes Sun, Mars; 4 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus6 pts
in its own sign, Libra; disposes Neptune; 3 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury3 pts
disposes Saturn, Uranus; 1 major aspect
A Jupiter-led chart is read as scale and optimism leading: Spider is read as reaching for the bigger version of any plan.
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 Spider’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.
- Venus quintile Pluto 0.2°
- Sun semi-sextile Jupiter 0.4°
- Jupiter sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.4°
- Mercury biquintile Uranus 1.3°
- Uranus semi-square Pluto 2.0°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Spider Robinson, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Spider Robinson, 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
Spider’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1443070, 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.
