The record
What sets Thomas apart
Nelson Mandela (1918) and Priyanka Chopra (1982) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Thomas, according to the stars
Core essence
Thomas feels the room before entering it. The core of Thomas is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Thomas, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
The vibe
Underneath, Thomas is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Thomas needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.
How Thomas wants to be loved
Thomas wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore Thomas openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.
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 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 Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Thomas is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Thomas 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.

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.
If you only read one paragraph
Cancer Sun
Cancer SunMoody, and loyal past reason.
Thomas Markle's Sun was in Cancer for the whole of July 18, 1944, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Cancer readings associate the sign with protectiveness, memory and attention to the emotional temperature of a room. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal water sign, ruled by the Moon, and read it for loyalty to family and home. The corresponding tension is guardedness: the tradition describes a sign that looks after others more readily than it lets itself be looked after.
Wood Monkey
Wood MonkeyInventive, restless, funny.
Thomas Markle was born on July 18, 1944, which falls in a Wood 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 7
Life Path 7Asks the better question.
Thomas Markle's birth date, July 18, 1944, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.
What stands out in Thomas’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Thomas Markle's date-only chart is Venus sextile Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Pluto, sit together in Leo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Thomas Markle combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Visionary.
Thomas’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Thomas Markle, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 1° to 14° Cancer 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.
⚷ ChironVirgo 13°48′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Virgo is read as a wound around never being good enough. The reading has Thomas turning that pressure into craft and an eye for what others miss.
⚳ CeresLeo 14°37′ (moves 0.45° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Thomas is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosAries 20°52′ (moves 0.44° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aries is read as desire that moves first and asks later. Thomas is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.
⚕ HygieaScorpio 2°47′ (moves 0.18° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Thomas carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithVirgo 16°53′ (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 Thomas 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.
- Hygiea trine Saturn 0.9°
- Ceres conjunction Mercury 1.0°
- Hygiea square Venus 1.0°
- Hygiea sextile Mars 1.2°
- Chiron square Uranus 2.2°
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. ☽ Moon7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Cancer; in its own sign, Cancer; disposes Sun, Saturn
2. ☉ Sun5 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Pluto; 1 major aspect
3. ☿ Mercury4 pts
disposes Mars, Uranus; 2 major aspects
A Moon-led chart is read as feeling first: Thomas is read as steered by mood, memory and what feels safe.
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.
Stellium in Leo · Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, PlutoThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
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.
- Sun semi-square Uranus 0.7°
- Venus semi-sextile Saturn 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Thomas Markle, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Thomas’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q43918214, 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.
