What the chart says
Theodore, according to the stars
Core essence
Theodore feels everything, and it is the best and hardest thing about them. The core of Theodore is imagination with a soft heart behind it: the daydream, the creative pull, the instinct that knows how someone is doing before they do. They absorb the mood of a room and give back something kinder. Their softness is not weakness, it is the whole point.
The vibe
Underneath, Theodore 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 Theodore needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How Theodore wants to be loved
Theodore wants to be loved as a friend first, and then as everything. Venus in Aquarius needs freedom, conversation and a partner who finds their strangeness delightful. Rules and jealousy make them cold; acceptance makes them devoted. Let Theodore be fully themselves and they will never want to be anywhere else.
How Theodore creates
How Theodore 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. Theodore 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: Theodore is free-spirited, a Horse year, and their gut reaction is to run toward the new thing. Energetic, warm, popular, honest to a fault, and impossible to keep indoors. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Theodore is here to see what others cannot yet and to say it, an antenna for the mood of the moment. Intuitive, inspiring, sometimes overwhelmed by their own sensitivity, and learning to ground the vision in something real.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Theodore channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

Theodore Sturgeon at a glance
Pisces Sun
Pisces SunAbsorbs the room's mood.
Theodore Sturgeon's Sun was in Pisces for the whole of February 26, 1918, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Pisces readings associate the sign with imagination, empathy and permeable boundaries: absorbing the mood of a place and turning it into something. Astrologers describe it as the mutable water sign, traditionally ruled by Jupiter and in modern practice by Neptune. The corresponding tension is drift, described in the tradition as a difficulty telling one's own feelings from everyone else's.
Earth Horse
Earth HorseHappiest halfway there.
Theodore Sturgeon was born on February 26, 1918, which falls in a Earth Horse year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Horse readings emphasise energy, independence and movement: a sign happiest with somewhere to go and impatient with fences. The Chinese almanacs describe the Horse as sociable, quick and difficult to keep in one place. The corresponding caution in the tradition is inconstancy, and the habit of leaving before the work of staying has begun.
Life Path 11
Life Path 11Nervy, gifted, tuned high.
Theodore Sturgeon's birth date, February 26, 1918, reduces to Life Path 11 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 11 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with intuition, sensitivity and noticing patterns before they become obvious. Numerologists read it as an intensified 2: the partner's gifts under pressure. The corresponding tension is nervous strain, with the caution that perceiving more than most people can be exhausting to carry.
What stands out in Theodore’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Theodore Sturgeon's date-only chart is Mercury conjunction Uranus, with an orb of about 1°.
- Three planets, Mercury, Venus and Uranus, sit together in Aquarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Theodore Sturgeon combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Seeker.
Theodore’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Theodore Sturgeon, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 10° to 22° 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.

Theodore’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.
⚷ ChironPisces 28°05′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Theodore absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 28°17′ (moves 0.30° 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. Theodore is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosPisces 12°40′ (moves 0.64° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. Theodore is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ HygieaPisces 11°01′ (moves 0.36° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Theodore needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 23°04′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo is read as a refusal of the standard of good enough, turned both outward and inward. The modern reading has Theodore exacting with themselves first.
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.
- Ceres square Mars 1.5°
- Chiron opposition Mars 1.7°
- Ceres sextile Mercury 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°).
Theodore’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. ♆ Neptune6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Pisces; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects
2. ♅ Uranus5 pts
in its own sign, Aquarius; disposes Mercury, Venus; 1 major aspect
3. ♃ Jupiter4.5 pts
traditionally rules the Sun sign, Pisces; 3 major aspects
A Neptune-led chart is read as imagination and porousness leading: Theodore is read as tuned to what is not said.
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 Theodore’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 semi-sextile Pluto 0.4°
- Mars biquintile Uranus 0.7°
- Neptune semi-sextile Pluto 1.4°
- Venus sesquiquadrate Mars 1.7°
- Sun quincunx Saturn 1.8°
- Sun quincunx Neptune 2.4°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Theodore Sturgeon, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Theodore Sturgeon, 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
Theodore’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q240253, 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.
