What the chart says
Thom, according to the stars
Core essence
Thom makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Thom is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
How Thom wants to be loved
Thom 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 Thom even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Thom creates
How Thom makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Thom creates by clarifying, by deciding, by being the one who says what the thing actually is. Sharp with themselves first. The work is remembering that not every problem needs a blade.
Instinct
Instinct: Thom is witty and inventive, a Monkey year, and their gut reaction is to play with the problem. Clever, funny, curious, a little mischievous, and quick to land on their feet. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Thom is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Thom 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.

Thom Yorke in 15 seconds
Libra Sun
Libra SunFair to a fault, slow to pick.
Thom Yorke's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 7, 1968, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Earth Monkey
Earth MonkeyClever, playful, never bored.
Thom Yorke was born on October 7, 1968, which falls in a Earth Monkey year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Monkey readings emphasise ingenuity, wit and the ability to find unconventional solutions to problems others have given up on. The Chinese almanacs describe the Monkey as the cleverest sign in the cycle, playful and quick. The corresponding caution in the tradition is mischief, and a trick played one time too many on the wrong person.
Life Path 5
Life Path 5Change finds them anyway.
Thom Yorke's birth date, October 7, 1968, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.
What stands out in Thom’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Thom Yorke's date-only chart is Jupiter conjunction Pluto, with an orb of about 1°.

- This chart has an even Earth/Water emphasis, with three planets in each.
- Thom Yorke combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Pioneer.
Thom’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Thom Yorke, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 19° to 1° Aries or Taurus 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.

Thom’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 0°29′ (moves 0.04° 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: Thom may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresScorpio 24°01′ (moves 0.39° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Thom is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosSagittarius 14°48′ (moves 0.54° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Thom attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aries 1°13′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has Thom feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithGemini 12°27′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini is read as the part of Thom that says the unsayable and does not take it back.
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 opposition Uranus 0.1°
- Ceres sextile Pluto 0.6°
- Eros sextile Sun 0.6°
- Hygiea opposition Uranus 0.7°
- Ceres conjunction Neptune 0.8°
- Ceres sextile Jupiter 1.5°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Sun 1.8°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mars 2.7°
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°).
Thom’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. ♀ Venus6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Uranus; 1 major aspect
2. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus, Neptune; 3 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Mars, Jupiter, Pluto; 1 major aspect
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Thom 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 Thom’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.

Where this data comes from
Thom’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q188668, 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.
