What the chart says
William, according to the stars
Core essence
William 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 William 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, William 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 William needs to feel safe is order and the sense of being useful. Let them help, and thank them properly.
How William wants to be loved
William wants to be loved boldly. Venus in Aries falls fast, says so, and wants you to chase back. Grand gestures land, so does a fight followed by a proper make-up. What bores them is hesitation. Be direct, be a little brave about them, and keep the spark lit on purpose.
How William creates
How William makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. William creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: William is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 8 is the powerhouse. William is here to build something big and run it well: money, influence, a body of work with their name on it. Ambitious, capable, generous when winning, and learning that power is for lifting people.
Triggers
Triggers: being told "because that's how it's done." Mars in Aquarius fights for the idea, the group, the principle, rarely for themselves. William goes cool and distant rather than hot, and then does the surprising thing. Point them at a cause and they will rewrite the rules around it.

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

The quick version
Aries Sun
Aries SunFirst through every door.
William Wordsworth's Sun was in Aries for the whole of April 7, 1770, 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.
Metal Tiger
Metal TigerLeads by moving.
William Wordsworth was born on April 7, 1770, which falls in a Metal Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Ambition with a spreadsheet.
William Wordsworth's birth date, April 7, 1770, reduces to Life Path 8 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 8 readings associate the number with ambition, authority and material results: turning sustained effort into visible achievement. Numerologists describe it as the path of the executive. The corresponding tension is control, with the caution that a number this good at managing outcomes can begin managing people the same way.
What stands out in William’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in William Wordsworth's date-only chart is Sun square Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- William Wordsworth combines an Earth Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Steadfast Strategist.
William’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for William Wordsworth, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 7° to 21° 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.

William’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 25°14′ (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 William absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ Ceres ℞Libra 23°20′ (moves 0.23° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. William is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.
♡ ErosPisces 29°16′ (moves 0.66° 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. William is read as easily moved and hard to pin.
⚕ HygieaCancer 9°51′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. William is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCapricorn 5°32′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn is read as ambition that does not ask to be liked. William is read as someone who takes the authority rather than waiting for it.
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 trine Saturn 0.2°
- Hygiea sextile Uranus 0.3°
- Hygiea sextile Neptune 0.4°
- Chiron square Jupiter 0.9°
- Ceres sextile Jupiter 1.0°
- Chiron conjunction Mercury 1.1°
- Ceres square Saturn 2.1°
- Ceres opposition Venus 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°).
William’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. ♂ Mars6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aries; disposes Sun, Venus; 1 major aspect
2. ♀ Venus5 pts
disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; 3 major aspects
A Mars-led chart is read as drive setting the pace: William 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 William’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 birth time is on public record for William Wordsworth, 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
William’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q45546, 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.

- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn at 5°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was William Wordsworth's dominant planet?
