What the chart says
Thomas, according to the stars
Core essence
Thomas leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of Thomas is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.
The vibe
Underneath, Thomas 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 Thomas 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 Thomas wants to be loved
Thomas wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Thomas is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Thomas creates
How Thomas makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Thomas 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: Thomas 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Thomas 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: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Thomas fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

Thomas Jefferson at a glance
Aries Sun
Aries SunRuns at it head first.
Thomas Jefferson's Sun was in Aries for the whole of April 13, 1743, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aries readings associate the sign with initiative, directness and a preference for acting before the plan is finished. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal fire sign: the one that starts things. The corresponding tension is impatience, with the classical caution that what Aries begins quickly it may leave for someone else to complete.
Water Pig
Water PigGives more than it gets.
Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743, which falls in a Water 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 5
Life Path 5Five doors open at once.
Thomas Jefferson's birth date, April 13, 1743, 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 Thomas’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Thomas Jefferson's date-only chart is Mercury sextile Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.

- Thomas Jefferson combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Pioneer.
Thomas’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Thomas Jefferson, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 21° 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.

Thomas’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.
⚷ ChironCancer 9°39′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Cancer is read as a wound around belonging and being looked after. Thomas is read as someone who learnt to make a home for others before finding one.
⚳ CeresCapricorn 1°38′ (moves 0.08° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Capricorn is read as nurture through structure and provision. The reading has Thomas caring by building something that lasts for others.
♡ ErosAquarius 3°58′ (moves 0.43° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Thomas is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Virgo 20°18′ (moves 0.12° 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. Thomas is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithSagittarius 17°33′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius is read as a refusal to be told what to believe. The reading has Thomas leaving any room where the truth is decided in advance.
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 conjunction Neptune 0.2°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mars 1.2°
- Ceres trine Saturn 2.6°
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°).
Thomas’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. ♂ Mars7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; disposes Sun; 3 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Mars, Saturn; 3 major aspects
3. ♇ Pluto5 pts
in its own sign, Scorpio; 3 major aspects
A Mars-led chart is read as drive setting the pace: Thomas is read as acting first and reflecting after.
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 Thomas’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.
T-square onto Mars · Venus, Pluto, MarsAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
Yod onto Saturn · Mercury, Uranus, SaturnTwo planets in sextile, both quincunx a third. Astrologers call it the finger of fate and read the apex as an adjustment the chart keeps returning to.
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 quintile Pluto 0.9°
- Uranus quintile Pluto 0.9°
- Mercury quincunx Saturn 1.9°
- Saturn quincunx Uranus 2.1°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Thomas Jefferson, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Thomas Jefferson, 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
Thomas’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q11812, 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.
