Birth chart of Tom Vandergriff

Tom Vandergriff 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.

Tom Vandergriff's chart is framed by Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Leo, and Virgo Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Mars square Uranus (orb 0.1°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

In plain terms, this aspect creates explosive tension between impulse, anger, speed, and independence.

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 Aquarius · Moon in Leo · Virgo Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Aquarius: identity and direction move through independence, networks, distance, and collective change; Moon in Leo: emotional safety looks for presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen; Virgo Rising: the first way into situations uses precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Uranus and Mars

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 Uranus near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) Uranus is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met. Here, that highlights disruption, independence, and change. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Mars near the IC (orb 5.2°) Mars touches a private angle: its signature shows most clearly to close people through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate. Here, that highlights action, courage, competition, and effort. It matters most when it repeats in private choices, close relationships, or family patterns.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious circuit: Mars, Moon, Venus, and Neptune

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 4 (home, family, and private life), and House 6 (work, routines, health, and daily organization). It connects Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), and Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Moon trine Mars (orb 0.2°), Venus sextile Mars (orb 0.1°), and Mars trine Neptune (orb 0.8°). 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 Moon trine Mars (orb 0.2°) Trine: Moon in Leo in House 12 can support Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives instinctive courage because personal dream, protection, and action support each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Mars.
  • Harmony Venus sextile Mars (orb 0.1°) Sextile: Venus in Aquarius in House 6 can cooperate with Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets desire and action cooperate when the person engages it.
  • Harmony Mars trine Neptune (orb 0.8°) Trine: Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 can support Neptune in Leo in House 12 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives natural support between action and inspiration: the gesture can carry a strong, popular, or imaginal image.
4. Important tensions

Tension triangle: Moon, Venus, and Saturn

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 12 (private time, solitude, retreat, and hidden pressure), House 3 (speech, learning, and close surroundings), 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 friction pattern in the chart: Moon opposite Venus (orb 0.3°), Moon square Saturn (orb 2.3°), and Venus square Saturn (orb 2°). 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 Venus (orb 0.3°) Opposition in real life: 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. For this pair, the aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction.
  • Tension Moon square Saturn (orb 2.3°) Square in real life: House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) is in friction with House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect can make the personal dream and mother image feel supervised by Saturn: play, spontaneity, or childlike confidence meets fear, duty, restraint, or the need to hold it together.
  • Tension Venus square Saturn (orb 2°) Square in real life: House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) is in friction with House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between pleasure, affection, self-worth, and restraint.
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, Mercury, and Jupiter creation, performance, and personal expression.
  • House 12: Moon and Neptune retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement.
  • House 4: Mars roots, privacy, and inner foundation.


Sun
Sun in Aquarius Identity, ego, father figure
Moon
Moon in Leo Dream, inner child, mother figure
Rising sign Virgo
Rising in Virgo First impression, entry style
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: Uranus near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Uranus (disruption, independence, and change) is most visible through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.

Tom Vandergriff has Sun in Aquarius, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Sun in Aquarius in House 5 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Aquarius style gives independence, networks, distance, and collective change, 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.

With the Sun in Aquarius, identity forms through independence, ideas, groups, reform, and distance from ordinary expectations. The person often needs to think for themselves and locate their life inside a larger collective, technical, political, or social pattern. This placement can give originality, intellectual courage, friendship, and the capacity to question inherited rules. It is not only detachment; it is the need to remain free enough to see another possibility. When rigid, the person may become contrary, emotionally unavailable, or attached to being different.
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 conjunct Jupiter (orb 3.8°) 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 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with the same Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change). Sun in Aquarius in House 5 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Jupiter in Aquarius in House 5 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons.

    Concrete effect: this aspect brings identity, ego, confidence, personal fulfillment, and the need to widen life together.

    Sun opposite Lilith (orb 6°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete conflict: this aspect opposes ego or personal direction to Lilith's absolute ideal and refusal to settle for less. The house conflict is between House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression) and House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.



Tom Vandergriff has Moon in Leo, in the House 12

How to read this placement

Moon in Leo in House 12 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 12 gives the life field: retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement.

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 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: Moon trine Mars (orb 0.2°). Aspect effect: gives instinctive courage because personal dream, protection, and action support each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Mars.

With the Moon in Leo, the inner child wants warmth, play, recognition, loyalty, and love that is visible rather than hidden. The personal dream often has a creative or theatrical tone: to shine, to be loved openly, to protect the heart, and to make life feel generous. This Moon can give confidence, joy, dramatic instinct, and the ability to lift the mood of a room. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to pride, attention, performance, or the need to feel special. When hurt, it can become proud, theatrical, or unable to admit how much approval matters.
In the 12th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into solitude, retreat, contemplation, long time scales, private imagination, and the background of life. The inner child may be very private, porous, or difficult to explain directly. The person often needs distance from noise to understand what they feel, and dreams may grow in silence, art, care work, spirituality, or long private processes. At best, this gives compassion, intuition, and the ability to feel large human currents without needing constant visibility. Under stress, it can become withdrawal, confusion, emotional flooding, or confinement when retreat is no longer chosen.

    Moon trine Mars (orb 0.2°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Moon in Leo in House 12 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives instinctive courage because personal dream, protection, and action support each other. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child are supported by Mars. Visible angle: Mars near the IC (orb 5.2°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate.

    Moon opposite Venus (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 Leo in House 12 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Venus in Aquarius in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction. 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.

    Moon conjunct Neptune (orb 1.1°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with the same Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Moon in Leo in House 12 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Neptune in Leo in House 12 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect mixes the inner child, personal dream, and mother image with image, dream, popularity, or collective moods.

    Moon square Saturn (orb 2.3°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Leo in House 12 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Saturn in Scorpio in House 3 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete friction: this aspect can make the personal dream and mother image feel supervised by Saturn: play, spontaneity, or childlike confidence meets fear, duty, restraint, or the need to hold it together. House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) is in friction with House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Tom Vandergriff has Rising sign in Virgo

How to read this placement

Virgo 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 Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail.

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.

Virgo rising gives a precise first impression: observation, restraint, usefulness, timing, and attention to detail. The person often meets life by noticing what needs adjustment and by trying to make the situation more workable.

Tom Vandergriff has Mercury in Capricorn, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Mercury in Capricorn in House 5 is one concrete combination: Mercury gives intellect, language, thought, and technique, the Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction, and House 5 gives the life field: creation, performance, and personal expression.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy 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.

With Mercury in Capricorn, the intellect is structured, strategic, economical, and oriented toward results. The person often communicates carefully, respects evidence, and prefers words that can survive contact with reality. This placement can give planning ability, business sense, administrative intelligence, and patient problem-solving. It is not necessarily cold; it wants speech to have weight. Under stress, it can become pessimistic, rigid, overly cautious, or silent because saying the wrong thing feels costly.
In the 5th house, Mercury puts intellect into creativity, play, romance, children, performance, and pleasure. The person may express intelligence through storytelling, humor, games, flirting, teaching children, or turning ideas into entertainment. Speech wants to be alive here, not only correct. At best, this gives creative language, theatrical intelligence, playful teaching, and a gift for making ideas enjoyable. Under stress, it can become showing off, dramatic speech, cleverness used for attention, or treating love as a game of words.

    Mercury sextile Saturn (orb 2.9°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Mercury in Capricorn in House 5 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Saturn in Scorpio in House 3 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and discipline can cooperate through method.

    Mercury sextile Uranus (orb 4.9°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Mercury in Capricorn in House 5 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Uranus in Pisces in House 7 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Uranus can cooperate in invention, quick replies, technology, or a changed perspective. Visible angle: Uranus near the Descendant (orb 4.3°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through direct relationships, partners, opponents, and the way others are met.



Tom Vandergriff has Venus in Aquarius, in the House 6

How to read this placement

Venus in Aquarius in House 6 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Aquarius style gives independence, networks, distance, and collective change, and House 6 gives the life field: daily work, technique, and bodily discipline.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style into daily work, technical gestures, habits, and bodily discipline. House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Venus in Aquarius, affection needs friendship, freedom, originality, and respect for difference. The person often loves people who bring a new perspective, a shared ideal, or a sense of being outside ordinary scripts. Taste can be modern, eccentric, conceptual, futuristic, or socially unconventional. This placement often prefers a bond that leaves room to breathe. Under stress, it can detach, intellectualize feelings, resist ordinary intimacy, or seem absent just when emotional warmth is needed.
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 sextile Mars (orb 0.1°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Venus in Aquarius in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning).

    Concrete cooperation: desire and action can cooperate when the person engages it. Visible angle: Mars near the IC (orb 5.2°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate.

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

    Venus opposite Neptune (orb 0.8°) 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, Venus in Aquarius in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Neptune in Leo in House 12 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect sets Venus against Neptune: pleasure, love, or self-worth can conflict with idealization, public image, vagueness, or projection. The house conflict is between House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) and House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Venus square Saturn (orb 2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Venus in Aquarius in House 6 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Saturn in Scorpio in House 3 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between pleasure, affection, self-worth, and restraint. House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline) is in friction with House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Tom Vandergriff has Mars in Sagittarius, in the House 4

How to read this placement

Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 is one concrete combination: Mars gives action, courage, competition, and effort, the Sagittarius style gives expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning, and House 4 gives the life field: roots, privacy, and inner foundation.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings action, anger, courage, competition, and effort 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: Mars square Uranus (orb 0.1°). Aspect effect: creates explosive tension between impulse, anger, speed, and independence.

Visible angle: Mars near the IC (orb 5.2°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and psychological climate close people can perceive.

With Mars in Sagittarius, action needs distance, meaning, truth, movement, and a horizon. The person often acts through travel, teaching, sport, debate, belief, humor, or the defense of a principle. This Mars can be bold, enthusiastic, frank, adventurous, and motivating. Under stress, it can become reckless, preachy, impatient with limits, or too sure that its own direction is the only honest one.
In the 4th house, Mars puts action into family, home, roots, privacy, and the emotional base of life. The person may defend family fiercely, need control over their private space, or carry conflict from the early environment into adult reactions. Action is not always public here; it often comes out when safety, territory, or belonging is touched. At best, this gives protective courage, private strength, and the energy to build or defend a home. Under stress, it can become domestic conflict, anger stored inside, impatience with vulnerability, or fighting old family battles in the present.

    Mars square Uranus (orb 0.1°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Mars in Sagittarius in House 4 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Sagittarius style (expansion, travel, belief, and the search for meaning); Uranus in Pisces in House 7 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).
