Birth chart of Nicholas Ray

Nicholas Ray 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.

Nicholas Ray's chart is framed by Sun in Leo, Moon in Capricorn, and Pisces Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Venus square Lilith (orb 1.7°) 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 creates tension between relationship, pleasure, desire, impossible ideal, and the need not to yield.

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 Leo · Moon in Capricorn · Pisces Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Leo: identity and direction move through presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen; Moon in Capricorn: emotional safety looks for structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction; Pisces Rising: the first way into situations uses imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Pluto, Lilith, and Venus

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 Pluto near the IC (orb 0.7°) Pluto touches a private angle: its signature shows most clearly to close people through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate. Here, that highlights crisis, power, survival, and regeneration. It matters most when it repeats in private choices, close relationships, or family patterns.
  • Visible Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3°) Lilith is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Venus near the Descendant (orb 3.9°) Venus is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met. Here, that highlights desire, taste, relationship, and attraction. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Moon, Venus, and Saturn

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 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects), House 2 (money, security, and self-worth), and House 6 (work, routines, health, and daily organization). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), and Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Moon trine Venus (orb 2.6°), Moon trine Saturn (orb 2.2°), and Venus trine Saturn (orb 4.9°). 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 Moon trine Venus (orb 2.6°) Trine: Moon in Capricorn in House 11 can support Venus in Virgo in House 6 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives natural support between the inner child and Venus: charm, softness, taste, pleasure, and the capacity to attract can reinforce each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Venus.
  • Harmony Moon trine Saturn (orb 2.2°) Trine: Moon in Capricorn in House 11 can support Saturn in Taurus in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives positive steadiness when personal dream, inner child, and mother image accept structure. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Saturn.
  • Harmony Venus trine Saturn (orb 4.9°) Trine: Venus in Virgo in House 6 can support Saturn in Taurus in House 2 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives durable ease between taste, loyalty, sobriety, and commitment.
4. Important tensions

Tension link: Sun and Mars

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 5 (creativity, romance, play, and personal visibility) and House 2 (money, security, and self-worth). It connects Sun (identity, confidence, and direction) and Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Sun square Mars (orb 0.4°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. No wider group outranks this link, so read it as a strong but isolated signal.

  • Tension Sun square Mars (orb 0.4°) Square in real life: House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) is in friction with House 2 (resources, values, and security); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates visible tension between ego, father image, and action: will can feel attacked, blocked, or forced to prove strength, sometimes through a weak, absent, inhibiting, or castrating father image.
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 5: Sun and Neptune creation, performance, and personal expression.
  • House 11: Moon and Uranus networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.
  • House 6: Mercury and Venus daily work, technique, and bodily discipline.

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: Pluto near the IC (orb 0.7°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Pluto (crisis, power, survival, and regeneration) is most visible through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate.

Nicholas Ray has Sun in Leo, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Sun in Leo in House 5 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 5 gives the life field: creation, performance, and personal expression.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into creation, play, performance, children, and personal risk-taking. House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun square Mars (orb 0.4°). Aspect effect: creates visible tension between ego, father image, and action: will can feel attacked, blocked, or forced to prove strength, sometimes through a weak, absent, inhibiting, or castrating father image.

With the Sun in Leo, identity forms through creative presence, pride, generosity, and the wish to radiate something personal. The person often needs to feel seen for what they create, lead, love, or perform. This placement can give warmth, loyalty, courage, dramatic instinct, and a natural sense of style. It is not only vanity; it is the need to put the heart into visible form. When unbalanced, the person may depend too much on applause or turn vulnerability into performance.
In the 5th house, the Sun puts identity into creation, love, play, children, pleasure, performance, and the courage to be seen. The person often feels alive when they are making something personal, expressing joy, taking creative risks, or putting their heart into an experience. This is a house of visible ego, but also of generosity and life force. At best, it gives charisma, artistic confidence, warmth, and a strong creative pulse. Under stress, it can become dramatic pride, dependence on applause, or difficulty accepting ordinary moments where nobody is watching.

    Sun square Mars (orb 0.4°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 5 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Mars in Taurus in House 2 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates visible tension between ego, father image, and action: will can feel attacked, blocked, or forced to prove strength, sometimes through a weak, absent, inhibiting, or castrating father image. House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) is in friction with House 2 (resources, values, and security); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Sun square Saturn (orb 5.2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect makes identity, ego, and father image meet Saturn pressure: confidence, recognition, or the father relationship may have to grow through duty, delay, judgment, authority, or fear of failure. House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) is in friction with House 2 (resources, values, and security); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Nicholas Ray has Moon in Capricorn, in the House 11

How to read this placement

Moon in Capricorn in House 11 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction, and House 11 gives the life field: networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.

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 networks, audiences, friends, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects. 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.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon opposite Neptune (orb 0.3°). Aspect effect: opposes personal dream or childhood image to dream, public image, or collective expectation.

With the Moon in Capricorn, the inner child learns confidence through structure, competence, duty, and the ability to hold steady under pressure. The personal dream often has to become real: work, mastery, status, responsibility, and long construction matter more than vague wishing. This Moon can give endurance, loyalty, patience, and a strong instinct to build something safe over time. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to seriousness, distance, responsibility, or growing up early. When burdened, it can become guarded, overly hard on itself, or afraid to depend on others.
In the 11th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into friends, groups, networks, audiences, publics, group ideologies, and collective dreams. The inner child wants belonging, but not only in a private family; it may seek inner confidence in community, movements, fans, or shared ideals. The person can be sensitive to group moods and may know instinctively what a public needs to feel included. At best, this gives popularity, social care, and emotional participation in collective projects. Under stress, it can become dependence on group approval, fear of exclusion, or losing personal feeling inside a crowd.

    Moon opposite Neptune (orb 0.3°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Moon in Capricorn in House 11 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Neptune in Cancer in House 5 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect opposes personal dream or childhood image to dream, public image, or collective expectation. The house conflict is between House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) and House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Moon trine Saturn (orb 2.2°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Capricorn in House 11 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Saturn in Taurus in House 2 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive steadiness when personal dream, inner child, and mother image accept structure. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Saturn.

    Moon trine Venus (orb 2.6°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Capricorn in House 11 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Venus in Virgo in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives natural support between the inner child and Venus: charm, softness, taste, pleasure, and the capacity to attract can reinforce each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Venus. Visible angle: Venus near the Descendant (orb 3.9°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

    Moon conjunct Uranus (orb 4.8°) 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 Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction). Moon in Capricorn in House 11 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Uranus in Capricorn in House 11 brings disruption, independence, and change.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties the inner child and personal dream to independence, unpredictability, and broken rhythms.



Nicholas Ray has Rising sign in Pisces

How to read this placement

Pisces Rising combines the Rising sign with the sign on the first-house cusp. The Rising sign describes first impression, body language, reflexes, and the way the person enters situations; the Pisces style gives imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.

Pisces rising gives an atmospheric first impression: softness, imagination, empathy, and a porous relation to the environment. The person may seem elusive or emotionally present, entering life through feeling, image, music, faith, or adaptation.

Under stress, it can over-correct, worry, criticize, or become trapped in details before the larger question is answered.
In the 6th house, Mercury puts intellect into work, routine, health, tools, service, methods, and daily problem-solving. The person often notices errors, patterns, tasks, and practical improvements quickly. This is a strong placement for technical skill, analysis, scheduling, editing, data, and useful communication. At best, it gives competence, precision, and the ability to make life function better through clear thinking.

Visible angle: Venus near the Descendant (orb 3.9°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

With Venus in Virgo, affection is shown through care, usefulness, precision, and attention to the small details that make life work. The person may love by helping, improving, noticing what is needed, and choosing reliability over display. Taste can be refined, clean, modest, well-made, or quietly exact. This placement does not always announce desire loudly; it proves interest through competence and presence. Under stress, it can over-analyze, criticize, hold back pleasure, or make love feel like a problem to solve.
In the 6th house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into work, service, routine, health, tools, craft, and daily care. The person may show affection by helping, improving conditions, making work pleasant, or bringing beauty into ordinary tasks. Pleasure needs rhythm and usefulness here, not only luxury. At best, this gives tact at work, aesthetic skill, care for the body, and the ability to make daily life more harmonious. Under stress, it can become conflict avoidance in work settings, over-service to be liked, perfectionism around appearance, or comfort habits that weaken health.

    Venus trine Uranus (orb 2.2°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Venus in Virgo in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Uranus in Capricorn in House 11 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction).

Visible angle: Venus near the Descendant (orb 3.9°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

    Venus square Lilith (orb 1.7°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Venus in Virgo in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Lilith in Sagittarius in House 9 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between relationship, pleasure, desire, impossible ideal, and the need not to yield. Visible angle: Venus near the Descendant (orb 3.9°) and Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 3°) touch angles; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met; also through social role, reputation, career, and public image. House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) is in friction with House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Venus.

At best, this gives generosity in partnership, social luck, legal or contractual ease, and faith in cooperation. Under stress, it can become overidealizing partners, expecting the other person to provide meaning, avoiding conflict through optimism, or making promises too quickly.

How to read this placement

With Uranus in Capricorn, independence expresses itself through career, hierarchy, institutions, authority, and public structure. The person may challenge old systems from inside the system, or build a professional path that does not follow the expected ladder. This placement can give strategic reform, practical innovation, and the ability to modernize rigid organizations. Under stress, it can bring sudden career breaks, conflict with authority, or a cold need to overturn structures before knowing what replaces them.
In the 11th house, Uranus puts innovation into friends, networks, audiences, movements, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, technology, and collective projects. This is one of Uranus's most natural fields: the person may thrive in groups that experiment, reform, invent, or challenge old social patterns. At best, this gives network intelligence, progressive alliances, collective invention, and a strong sense of future possibilities. Under stress, it can become unstable friendships, ideological shocks, social detachment, or constant movement from one group to another without building continuity.
