Birth chart of Richard James Herrin

Richard James Herrin birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

Richard James Herrin's chart is framed by Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Taurus, and Capricorn Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Moon opposite Saturn (orb 1.8°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

In plain terms, this aspect opposes the personal dream, childhood image, or mother image to limits, duty, or the need to stay controlled.

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Sagittarius · Moon in Taurus · Capricorn Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Sagittarius: identity and direction move through expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning; Moon in Taurus: emotional safety looks for nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance; Capricorn Rising: the first way into situations uses structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Moon and Saturn

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Moon near the IC (orb 0.3°) The Moon touches a private angle: its signature shows most clearly to close people through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate. Here, that highlights personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm. It matters most when it repeats in private choices, close relationships, or family patterns.
  • Visible Saturn near the Midheaven (orb 2.1°) Saturn is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Sun, Pluto, and Mars

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 12 (private time, solitude, retreat, and hidden pressure), House 8 (intimacy, shared money, crisis, and transformation), and House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview). It connects Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation), and Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Sun trine Pluto (orb 0.5°), Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.3°), and Mars sextile Pluto (orb 2.8°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Sun trine Pluto (orb 0.5°) Trine: Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 can support Pluto in Leo in House 8 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives identity natural support for crossing pressure: the ego can strengthen through crises instead of collapsing. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Pluto.
  • Harmony Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.3°) Sextile: Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 can cooperate with Mars in Libra in House 9 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets identity and action cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars.
  • Harmony Mars sextile Pluto (orb 2.8°) Sextile: Mars in Libra in House 9 can cooperate with Pluto in Leo in House 8 in the same concrete choice or situation.
4. Important tensions

Tension circuit: Moon, Saturn, Mars, and Neptune

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview), House 4 (home, family, and private life), and House 10 (career, status, responsibility, and public role). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience), Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), and Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon opposite Saturn (orb 1.8°), Moon opposite Mars (orb 6.6°), and Moon opposite Neptune (orb 8.8°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Tension Moon opposite Saturn (orb 1.8°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) and House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect opposes the personal dream, childhood image, or mother image to limits, duty, or the need to stay controlled.
  • Tension Moon opposite Mars (orb 6.6°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) and House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect sets inner safety, childhood imprint, or mother image against action, anger, or confrontation: the drive to act can be slowed by protection reflexes, an inhibiting mother image, or the feeling that action was not safe.
  • Tension Moon opposite Neptune (orb 8.8°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) and House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect opposes personal dream or childhood image to dream, public image, or collective expectation.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 12: Sun retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement.
  • House 9: Mars, Neptune, and Lilith vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.
  • House 4: Moon roots, privacy, and inner foundation.

The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Moon near the IC (orb 0.3°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Moon (personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm) is most visible through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate.

Richard James Herrin has Sun in Sagittarius, in the House 12

How to read this placement

Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Sagittarius style gives expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning, and House 12 gives the life field: retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into withdrawal, contemplation, long time, possible isolation, and quiet major works. House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun trine Pluto (orb 0.5°). Aspect effect: gives identity natural support for crossing pressure: the ego can strengthen through crises instead of collapsing. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Pluto.

With the Sun in Sagittarius, identity forms through exploration, belief, distance, teaching, and larger meaning. The person often needs horizon: travel, study, philosophy, politics, religion, culture, or any path that expands the mind beyond the immediate environment. This placement can give optimism, frankness, humor, vision, and the ability to transmit enthusiasm. It is not only restlessness; it is the need to orient life around a bigger direction. When excessive, the person may overstate, promise too much, or confuse conviction with truth.
In the 12th house, the Sun puts identity into solitude, retreat, contemplation, long time scales, private work, and the background of life. This is not simply a house of hidden things; it often describes a person who needs distance from immediate noise in order to see the larger pattern. The Sun here can belong to artists, thinkers, caregivers, spiritual workers, or people building something quietly over a long period. At best, it gives depth, compassion, and the ability to serve a larger work without needing constant visibility. Under stress, it can become withdrawal, loss of direction, self-erasure, or confinement when retreat stops being chosen.

    Sun trine Pluto (orb 0.5°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Pluto in Leo in House 8 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration into House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives identity natural support for crossing pressure: the ego can strengthen through crises instead of collapsing. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Pluto.

    Sun sextile Neptune (orb 1.1°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Neptune in Libra in House 9 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

    Concrete cooperation: identity and collective imagination can cooperate when the person uses both sides together. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Neptune.

    Sun opposite Jupiter (orb 3.5°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Jupiter in Gemini in House 6 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect sets identity or father image against personal fulfillment: ego direction can conflict with excess, promise, or the need to think bigger. The house conflict is between House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) and House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.3°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Sagittarius in House 12 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Mars in Libra in House 9 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

    Concrete cooperation: identity and action can cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars.



Richard James Herrin has Moon in Taurus, in the House 4

How to read this placement

Moon in Taurus in House 4 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Taurus style gives nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance, and House 4 gives the life field: roots, privacy, and inner foundation.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into family, home, privacy, roots, and psychological foundation. House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon opposite Saturn (orb 1.8°). Aspect effect: opposes the personal dream, childhood image, or mother image to limits, duty, or the need to stay controlled.

Visible angle: Moon near the IC (orb 0.3°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and psychological climate close people can perceive.

With the Moon in Taurus, the inner child looks for stability, bodily calm, familiar rhythms, and tangible proof that life can be trusted. The personal dream often grows through food, touch, music, money, nature, home, beauty, and reliable people. This Moon can give patience, loyalty, sensuality, and a soothing presence. The mother image or childhood imprint may be tied to comfort, security, or the fear of losing what feels safe. Under stress, it can cling to comfort, resist change, or stay in a situation because it is familiar.
In the 4th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into family, childhood, home, memory, roots, and the private foundation of the chart. This is one of the most natural houses for the Moon: the early atmosphere can leave a strong imprint, and the person often needs a protected base to stay emotionally confident. The inner child remains connected to origin, ancestry, and the private place where feeling is allowed. At best, this gives deep care, loyalty, instinctive protection, and the ability to build a nourishing home. Under stress, old memories, family roles, or fear of not belonging can dominate the present.

    Moon opposite Saturn (orb 1.8°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Concrete conflict: this aspect opposes the personal dream, childhood image, or mother image to limits, duty, or the need to stay controlled. Visible angle: Moon near the IC (orb 0.3°) and Saturn near the Midheaven (orb 2.1°) touch angles; this aspect is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate; also through social role, reputation, career, and public image. The house conflict is between House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) and House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Moon opposite Mars (orb 6.6°) is minor in this chart. The orb is wide; this aspect stays a light nuance.

    Here, Moon in Taurus in House 4 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance); Mars in Libra in House 9 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

The person often communicates through teaching, humor, conviction, stories, philosophy, politics, travel, or culture. This placement can give vision, enthusiasm, directness, and the ability to connect facts to a bigger worldview. It is not built for tiny details first. Under stress, it can generalize, preach, exaggerate, or confuse confidence with accuracy.
In the 11th house, Mercury puts intellect into friends, groups, networks, audiences, movements, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, technology, and collective projects. The person may think well in systems and circulate ideas through communities. Communication becomes social: messages, platforms, collaborations, public conversations, and shared plans matter. At best, this gives network intelligence, group coordination, and the ability to make ideas travel. Under stress, it can become mental dependence on the crowd, scattered online attention, ideological debate, or losing personal judgment inside group opinion.

    Mercury sextile Lilith (orb 1.1°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Mercury in Sagittarius in House 11 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Lilith in Libra in House 9 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Lilith's ideal can cooperate without becoming fixation.

    Mercury conjunct Venus (orb 5.1°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with the same Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning). Mercury in Sagittarius in House 11 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique; Venus in Sagittarius in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction.

House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Venus in Sagittarius, affection needs space, honesty, humor, movement, and a sense of shared horizon. The person may love through adventure, travel, learning, culture, teaching, or the feeling that the relationship makes life bigger. Taste can be colorful, free, foreign, natural, or linked to open landscapes and big ideas. This placement needs sincerity more than heavy emotional management. Under stress, it can flee boredom, promise more than it can keep, or confuse freedom with a refusal to be responsible.
In the 11th house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into friends, groups, networks, audiences, communities, shared ideals, group taste, and collective projects. The person may find affection through friendship, social circles, fans, shared ideas, or creative collaboration. Beauty and pleasure become social here: parties, movements, communities, and public taste matter. At best, this gives popularity, social charm, artistic networks, and the ability to bring people together pleasantly. Under stress, it can become dependence on group approval, superficial friendships, social comparison, or using popularity as a substitute for intimacy.


Richard James Herrin has Mars in Libra, in the House 9

How to read this placement

Mars in Libra in House 9 is one concrete combination: Mars gives action, courage, competition, and effort, the Libra style gives relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form, and House 9 gives the life field: vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.

Aspect connected to this placement: Mars conjunct Neptune (orb 2.1°). Aspect effect: mixes action, courage, image, inspiration, popularity, and sensitivity to collective moods.

With Mars in Libra, action moves through comparison, strategy, charm, negotiation, and the presence of other people. The person may fight for fairness, beauty, balance, or social correctness, but conflict is often filtered through relationship. This Mars can be diplomatic, persuasive, elegant, and tactically aware. Under stress, it can hesitate, avoid direct confrontation, become passive-aggressive, or turn every action into a negotiation.
In the 9th house, Mars puts action into travel, foreign cultures, belief, politics, teaching, law, and the enlargement of consciousness. The person may fight for ideas, chase distant horizons, argue from conviction, and need adventure to keep energy alive. This placement can make the native a traveler, campaigner, teacher, athlete of belief, or someone who learns through direct experience. At best, it gives courage to explore, defend principles, and act on a larger vision. Under stress, it can become dogmatic anger, moral combat, restlessness, or conflict with foreign places, teachers, or institutions.

    Mars conjunct Neptune (orb 2.1°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

With Jupiter in the 6th house, the person finds fulfillment through work, service, health, craft, routine, and practical improvement. Daily necessity is the basic container, but Jupiter asks how ordinary life can become useful, meaningful, generous, and personally satisfying.
