Yasushi Nagao’s AsterNym identity
The Gilded Lightkeeper
Metal represents precision. Metal-led charts are associated with standards, boundaries, discernment and the ability to remove what is unnecessary. Life Path 11 is traditionally called a master path. It represents intuition, sensitivity and noticing patterns before they become obvious.

What the chart says
Yasushi, according to the stars
Core essence
Yasushi is the steady one, the person whose yes means yes and whose Sunday looks the same as it did last year because it was a good Sunday. The core of Yasushi is a deep loyalty to what is real: good food, a good bed, people who show up. They move slowly on purpose. Once they have decided something, it is decided, and that is a comfort to everyone around them.
The vibe
Underneath, Yasushi needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Yasushi needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.
How Yasushi wants to be loved
Yasushi wants to be loved in conversation. Venus in Gemini falls for a mind first: the banter, the shared joke, the person who keeps them guessing a little. Attention is the love language and boredom is the enemy. Keep talking to Yasushi like it is the first week, and it can feel like it for years.
How Yasushi creates
How Yasushi makes things happen: they cut to it. A Yang Metal day master is the sword, decisive, principled, allergic to nonsense. Yasushi 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: Yasushi 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Yasushi 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: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Yasushi gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Tokyo on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
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.
Taurus Sun
Taurus SunStubborn is the polite word.
Yasushi Nagao's Sun was in Taurus for the whole of May 20, 1930, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Taurus readings associate the sign with steadiness, sensory pleasure and things that last. Astrologers describe it as the fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus, and read it for loyalty, routine and a slow, deliberate pace. The corresponding tension is resistance to change, described in the tradition as stubbornness that presents itself as principle.
Metal Horse
Metal HorseBright, restless, warm.
Yasushi Nagao was born on May 20, 1930, which falls in a Metal 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 11Receives more than it reasons.
Yasushi Nagao's birth date, May 20, 1930, 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 Yasushi’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Yasushi Nagao's date-only chart is Sun conjunction Mercury, with an orb of under 1°.
- Yasushi Nagao combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Lightkeeper.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Yasushi Nagao, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 28° Aquarius 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.

Yasushi’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.
⚷ ChironTaurus 15°07′ (moves 0.07° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Taurus is read as a wound around security and worth. The reading has Yasushi building steadiness by hand after finding it could not be assumed.
⚳ CeresCancer 6°20′ (moves 0.41° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Cancer sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: care as instinct. Yasushi is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosAries 0°60′ (moves 0.57° 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. Yasushi is read as drawn to the chase more than the catch.
⚕ HygieaTaurus 16°13′ (moves 0.33° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Taurus is read as health through routine, food and rest. Yasushi is read as someone whose wellbeing tracks their habits closely.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAquarius 10°32′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius is read as the outsider who chose it. The modern reading has Yasushi at odds with the group on principle and rarely lonely about 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.
- Hygiea sextile Pluto 1.7°
- Eros sextile Mercury 2.5°
- Eros sextile Sun 2.6°
- Chiron sextile Pluto 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°).
Yasushi’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. ♀ Venus8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Taurus; disposes Sun, Mercury; 3 major aspects
2. ♂ Mars7 pts
in its own sign, Aries; disposes Uranus; 4 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury5 pts
disposes Venus, Jupiter, Neptune; 2 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Yasushi 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 Yasushi’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
Yasushi’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q376396, 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.
