What the chart says
Yves, according to the stars
Core essence
Yves is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Yves is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
The vibe
Underneath, Yves is steadier than they let on and more tender than they let on, both at once. The Moon in Capricorn feels deeply and privately, and would rather fix the problem than talk about the feeling. What Yves needs to feel safe is reliability and respect. They soften completely for the people who earn it.
How Yves wants to be loved
Yves 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 Yves openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.
How Yves creates
How Yves makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Yves creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: Yves is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Yves is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Yves leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Yves does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Yves Saint Laurent in 15 seconds
Leo Sun
Leo SunLoves an audience. Earns one.
Yves Saint Laurent's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 1, 1936, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Fire Rat
Fire RatResourceful is an understatement.
Yves Saint Laurent was born on August 1, 1936, which falls in a Fire Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Starts things. Lots of things.
Yves Saint Laurent's birth date, August 1, 1936, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Yves’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Yves Saint Laurent's date-only chart is Mercury conjunction Venus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Mercury and Venus, sit together in Leo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- No planet falls in Air signs in this chart.
- Yves Saint Laurent combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Scholar.
Yves’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Yves Saint Laurent, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 11° to 24° Capricorn 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.

Yves’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.
⚷ ChironGemini 21°14′ (moves 0.06° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Yves turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresScorpio 18°53′ (moves 0.16° 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. Yves is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.
♡ ErosVirgo 18°27′ (moves 0.84° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Virgo is read as desire expressed through attention to detail: noticing, improving, being useful. Yves is read as slow to start and exact once started.
⚕ HygieaGemini 26°58′ (moves 0.29° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Gemini is read as health that lives in the nerves and the mind. The tradition has Yves needing variety and enough sleep in equal measure.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 22°55′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of Yves that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
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 square Saturn 0.6°
- Ceres square Venus 0.7°
- Ceres square Mercury 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith square Mars 1.3°
- Ceres trine Saturn 3.0°
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°).
Yves’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. ☉ Sun9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury, Venus; 2 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter6 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; 4 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune4 pts
disposes Saturn; 3 major aspects
A Sun-led chart is read as identity out front: Yves is read as someone whose sense of self organises everything else.
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 Yves’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 · Sun, Mercury, VenusThree 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.

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Yves Saint Laurent, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

No birth time is on public record for Yves Saint Laurent, 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
Yves’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q171556, 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.

- What was Yves Saint Laurent's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The Rat, with the Fire element, from the Chinese lunar year of the August 1, 1936 birth.
- What time was Yves Saint Laurent born?
- No reliably documented birth time is public, so AsterNym does not calculate an Ascendant. This chart uses date-only positions: the wheel shows a reference solar chart (the Sun's sign as house 1), and the Ascendant is left uncomputed instead of guessed from an unverified time.
- What was Yves Saint Laurent's Life Path number?
- Life Path 1, calculated in numerology from the August 1, 1936 birth date.
- What was Yves Saint Laurent's Chiron sign?
- Chiron in Gemini at 21°. Position from JPL Horizons for the August 1, 1936 birth date.
- Where was Yves Saint Laurent's Black Moon Lilith?
- Mean Black Moon Lilith in Libra at 22°. This is the mean lunar apogee; the osculating Lilith some tables use can sit up to 30° away.
- What was Yves Saint Laurent's dominant planet?
- Sun, on AsterNym's dominance score (9 points: rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo; disposes Mercury, Venus; 2 major aspects). Jupiter is second and Neptune third. Other sites weight rulerships and aspects differently and can name a different leader.
