Srinivasa Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan (born December 22, 1887, Erode, India; died 1920), was an Indian mathematician. Ramanujan is best remembered for Ramanujan–Nagell equation, Ramanujan summation and Ramanujan graph. Ramanujan's honours include Fellow of the Royal Society and Fellow of Trinity College.
Srinivasa Ramanujan’s zodiac sign was Sagittarius or Capricorn (the Sun changed sign that day, and no documented birth time settles which), and in the Chinese zodiac they were a Fire Pig, with Life Path 4 in numerology.

What the chart says
Srinivasa, according to the stars
How Srinivasa wants to be loved
Srinivasa wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Srinivasa even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Srinivasa creates
How Srinivasa makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Srinivasa creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Srinivasa 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 Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. Srinivasa is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Srinivasa fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

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.
Srinivasa Ramanujan at a glance
Sagittarius or Capricorn Sun
Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on a day when the Sun moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn. Without a documented birth time, the exact Sun sign cannot be determined reliably, so AsterNym shows both rather than choosing one.
Fire Pig
Fire PigWarm, sincere, easy company.
Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on December 22, 1887, which falls in a Fire 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 4
Life Path 4Slow, solid, lasting.
Srinivasa Ramanujan's birth date, December 22, 1887, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.
What stands out in Srinivasa’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Srinivasa Ramanujan's date-only chart is Mercury sextile Uranus, with an orb of about 2°.
- This chart has an even Fire/Air emphasis, with three planets in each.
Srinivasa’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Srinivasa Ramanujan, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 23° to 5° Pisces or Aries 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.

Srinivasa’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 ℞Gemini 29°16′ (moves 0.07° 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 Srinivasa turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresAries 11°49′ (moves 0.13° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aries is read as nurture through action: Srinivasa looks after people by pushing them forward and expects the same in return.
♡ ErosCapricorn 26°29′ (moves 0.58° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Capricorn is read as desire that respects competence and control. Srinivasa is read as drawn to people who have built something.
⚕ HygieaVirgo 29°34′ (moves 0.19° 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. Srinivasa is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 25°01′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Srinivasa carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
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 square Sun 0.6°
- Chiron opposition Sun 0.9°
- Eros sextile Jupiter 0.9°
- Eros trine Neptune 1.4°
- Hygiea trine Neptune 1.7°
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°).
Srinivasa’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. ♄ Saturn6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects
2. ♇ Pluto5 pts
disposes Venus, Jupiter; 3 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus3 pts
disposes Mars, Uranus, Neptune
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Srinivasa is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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 Srinivasa’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.
- Mercury semi-sextile Venus 0.5°
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.7°
- Sun biquintile Saturn 0.7°
- Saturn quintile Uranus 0.7°
- Sun quintile Uranus 1.3°
- Uranus sesquiquadrate Pluto 1.7°
- Sun quincunx Neptune 2.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Srinivasa Ramanujan, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Srinivasa Ramanujan, 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
Srinivasa’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q83163, 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.

Quick answers about Srinivasa Ramanujan’s chart
- What zodiac sign was Srinivasa Ramanujan?
- Srinivasa Ramanujan was born on a day when the Sun moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn. 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 Pig.
- What was Srinivasa Ramanujan's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Pig, with the Fire element, from the Chinese lunar year of the December 22, 1887 birth.
- What time was Srinivasa Ramanujan 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 Srinivasa Ramanujan's Life Path number?
- Life Path 4, calculated in numerology from the December 22, 1887 birth date.
- What was Srinivasa Ramanujan's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Gemini at 29°. Position from JPL Horizons for the December 22, 1887 birth date.
- Where was Srinivasa Ramanujan's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Aries at 25°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Srinivasa Ramanujan's dominant planet?
- Saturn, on AsterNym's dominance score (6 points: rules the Sun sign, Capricorn; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects). Pluto is second and Venus third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
