What the chart says
Taika, according to the stars
Core essence
Taika is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Taika 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, Taika is an optimist who needs the door left open. The Moon in Sagittarius feels best in motion, out in the world, laughing at the thing that went wrong. What Taika needs to feel safe is freedom and the truth, in that order. Try to contain them and they vanish; trust them and they come back every time.
How Taika wants to be loved
Taika wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Taika and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Taika creates
How Taika makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Taika builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Taika is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Taika is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Taika leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Taika scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

Taika Waititi in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunWarm, loud, hard to ignore.
Taika Waititi's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 16, 1975, 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.
Wood Rabbit
Wood RabbitSoft voice, sharp read.
Taika Waititi was born on August 16, 1975, which falls in a Wood Rabbit year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rabbit readings emphasise tact, grace and the ability to settle a room without seeming to try. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rabbit as the diplomat of the cycle, alert to subtleties and fond of comfort. The corresponding caution in the tradition is avoidance: the tendency to slip away from a conflict that needed to happen.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Independent to the core.
Taika Waititi's birth date, August 16, 1975, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Taika’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Taika Waititi's date-only chart is Venus square Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Taika Waititi combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Scholar.
Taika’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Taika Waititi, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 22° Sagittarius 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.

Taika’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 28°04′ (moves 0.01° 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: Taika may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresGemini 6°27′ (moves 0.27° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Gemini is read as nurture through talk and attention. The tradition has Taika feeding people with information and feeling fed by conversation.
♡ ErosScorpio 10°03′ (moves 0.57° 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. Taika is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaGemini 27°40′ (moves 0.26° 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 Taika needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithPisces 21°22′ (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. Taika 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 Venus 0.2°
- Ceres square Mercury 0.3°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 1.0°
- Ceres trine Pluto 1.0°
- Hygiea trine Uranus 1.4°
- Chiron square Saturn 1.6°
- Ceres opposition Neptune 2.6°
- Hygiea sextile Jupiter 3.0°
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°).
Taika’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. ☿ Mercury7 pts
in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Venus, Mars; 3 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; 1 major aspect
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Uranus, Pluto; 2 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Taika is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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 Taika’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 Taika Waititi, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Taika’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q2388576, 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.
