1987-11-30 · Sacramento, California, USA · birth time unverified
Smosh (Ian Hecox)'s chart reveals an expansive, philosophical spirit... someone driven by meaning, adventure, and the belief that life is an ongoing discovery. With a Sagittarius Sun in the 9th house, their sense of purpose is expressed through the domain of philosophy and expansion... a placement that shapes how they show up in the world and what they're here to do.
Beneath the surface, an Aries Moon speaks to what Smosh needs emotionally... action and independence when emotions run high. This is the private self, the part that exists when the spotlight fades.
The world meets Smosh through Aquarius rising... unique, forward-thinking, and slightly unconventional... someone who defies easy categorization. This is the lens through which all of their chart's energy is filtered, the first thing people sense before they know the full story.
Their drive runs deep and is not easily deterred... they pursue goals with quiet, transformative intensity. With 3 retrograde planets in their natal chart, much of Smosh's energy is directed inward... a rich inner world that fuels their outer expression. A concentration of planets in Sagittarius gives Smosh's chart a strong Sagittarius emphasis... amplifying the themes of that sign throughout their life.

Chart Interpretations
Sun in Sagittarius in House 9
Your Sun in Sagittarius in the ninth house is in its most natural domain ... Sagittarius governs the 9th house's themes of philosophy, higher education, foreign travel, and the expansion of the mind and spirit, and the Sun in this position means your core identity expresses most authentically through the ongoing, genuinely alive pursuit of wisdom and meaning. This is one of the most philosophically alive placements in the chart: you are a natural teacher, traveler, philosopher, and seeker whose sense of self is inseparable from the sense that the universe is larger and more interesting than you've yet discovered. Jupiter amplifies this house's already expansive energy, giving genuine gifts for higher education, publishing, international work, and the transmission of wisdom to audiences who need it. To work with this energy consciously, formalize your accumulated wisdom into teachings, books, or structured courses ... your breadth of experience and philosophical insight deserve to be genuinely shared rather than perpetually gathered. The honest challenge is the perpetual student who never graduates into genuine mastery: Sagittarius in the 9th can remain in the seeker role indefinitely, gathering philosophical frameworks with genuine enthusiasm while avoiding the commitment to a single path that would produce the depth from which actual teaching emerges.
Moon in Aries in House 2
Your Moon in Aries in the second house connects your deepest emotional security to financial independence, self-determined resources, and the psychological freedom that comes from knowing you have earned what you have entirely on your own terms. The Moon governs your sense of safety and your instinctive needs, and in the 2nd house ... the domain of personal resources, self-worth, and material values ... those needs become directly entangled with the material world; Aries's cardinal fire ruled by Mars adds urgency, competitive instinct, and an impulse toward initiative that makes your relationship with money fundamentally proactive rather than patient. You are at your emotional best when income is active, effort is rewarded visibly, and your financial autonomy is not under question ... and you are genuinely unsettled by dependency, slow financial movement, or having to negotiate the terms of your own resources with others. The 2nd house is Succedent and rewards sustained effort, which creates a productive tension with Aries's preference for the quick decisive action over the long methodical build. To work with this energy consciously, build a financial foundation that provides genuine security ... not merely a cushion for risk, but a stable base that frees you from the emotional anxiety that financial uncertainty generates in you specifically. The honest growth challenge is that Mars-ruled fire in the 2nd house can spend impulsively in moments of emotional charge, seeking the immediate satisfaction of acquisition rather than the deeper satisfaction of steadily accumulated independence, and the growth is channeling Aries's initiative into consistent earning strategies that serve the security your Moon genuinely needs.
Mercury in Scorpio in House 9
Your Mercury in Scorpio in the ninth house gives you a philosophical mind that refuses the easy answer, the comforting narrative, and the belief system that has not been genuinely tested at its foundations ... your pursuit of philosophical and spiritual truth is characterized by a willingness to go beneath every surface until you reach what is actually there. Mercury governs thinking and communication; Scorpio is fixed water co-ruled by Mars and Pluto, and in the ninth house of higher learning, philosophy, and the ongoing project of building a meaningful worldview, that quality produces a philosophical mind that is genuinely transformative rather than merely accumulative. You may be drawn to depth psychology, mysticism, and transformative traditions that require genuine personal engagement rather than intellectual exploration from a safe distance. To work with this energy consciously, develop your capacity for philosophical and spiritual transformation by allowing your most important beliefs to be genuinely challenged rather than strategically defended ... the beliefs that survive real testing are far more valuable than those held through their resistance to examination. The growth edge is that Scorpio's intensity in the ninth house can make philosophical and spiritual positions feel like personal territories to defend rather than ongoing investigations; the growth work is developing the courage to be genuinely changed by what you discover, not only to deepen your existing convictions.
Venus in Capricorn in House 11
Your Venus in Capricorn in the eleventh house brings a structured, loyal, and practically minded approach to friendships, group involvement, and your vision for the future. You prefer a small, established circle of friends built on mutual respect and shared ambitions rather than a wide social network of casual acquaintances. Group involvement tends toward professional organizations, mentorship networks, or established institutions rather than informal social movements. Your vision for the future emphasizes building lasting structures, preserving valuable traditions, and creating measurable progress through disciplined effort. You are a loyal and reliable friend who shows up consistently over time. The challenge is social conservatism that limits your exposure to diverse perspectives and unconventional thinkers. Consciously expand your social circle beyond your comfort zone, welcoming friends who challenge your assumptions, and your well-structured social life will gain the creative vitality it needs.
Mars in Scorpio in House 8
Your Mars in Scorpio in the eighth house places the planet of drive in one of its co-ruling signs in the house it naturally governs ... this is Mars at maximum depth, power, and transformative potential. You navigate the territory of shared resources, sexuality, death and rebirth, and deep psychological investigation with extraordinary courage and instinctive skill. You are likely fascinated by the mysteries of human experience and may work professionally with these themes. Nothing surface-level satisfies you for long; you seek what is real, raw, and deeply true. The practical insight: your capacity for transformation is virtually limitless when you commit to doing the deep inner work alongside the external pursuit of power.
Jupiter in Aries in House 2
℞Your Jupiter in Aries in the second house brings expansive, optimistic energy to your finances, possessions, and sense of self-worth. You have a natural confidence in your ability to generate income, and you tend to earn through bold initiative, entrepreneurial ventures, or roles where you take the lead. Jupiter here suggests that money often comes to you in bursts ... sometimes through fortunate timing or opportunities you had the courage to seize when others hesitated. Your relationship with material resources is generous; you spend freely and trust that more will come. The growth edge is developing financial discipline alongside your natural abundance mindset, because Jupiter's expansiveness can lead to overspending or overextending. When you ground your earning strategies in consistent effort and align your spending with your deepest values, this placement becomes a genuine engine of lasting prosperity.
Saturn in Sagittarius in House 10
Your Saturn in Sagittarius in the tenth house directs your public ambitions toward fields involving education, philosophy, law, international affairs, publishing, or any domain where broad knowledge and principled leadership are required. Your career is built on the authority of your ideas ... you need work that allows you to champion beliefs and principles, not just execute tasks. Saturn here demands that you back your expansive professional vision with the detailed, patient work required to actually achieve it; enthusiasm alone does not build a lasting career reputation. Over time you can become a figure of genuine intellectual and philosophical authority in your field ... someone whose career stands for something larger than personal success.
Uranus in Sagittarius in House 10
Your Uranus in Sagittarius in the tenth house places expansive, adventurous energy at the summit of your chart, shaping your career and public reputation around themes of freedom, truth, and cultural exchange. Sagittarius is mutable fire, so your professional ambitions are inspired by meaning and purpose rather than mere status, while Uranus ensures your career path includes unexpected opportunities and dramatic shifts in direction. As a generational placement, your cohort transforms leadership in education, media, and international relations, and with Uranus in your tenth house, you are personally called to a vocation that expands horizons. You may be known publicly as someone who challenges conventional wisdom, bridges cultural divides, or brings philosophical depth to their professional field. Your career may involve teaching, publishing, travel, law, or any work that serves a mission larger than personal advancement. The challenge is maintaining professional credibility while following a path that others may see as unfocused or idealistic. When you commit your expansive vision to a professional mission that is both ambitious and grounded, your career becomes a genuine force for broadening how people think and live.
Neptune in Capricorn in House 11
Your Neptune in Capricorn in the eleventh house places the planet of dreams and collective vision in the house of friends, communities, and social causes, grounded by Capricorn's disciplined, traditional, and strategically minded nature. Neptune in Capricorn is generational, but the eleventh house makes community involvement and social idealism personally meaningful. You are drawn to organizations and communities with institutional substance ... groups committed to long-term structural change, professional associations with serious purpose, or communities that combine visionary ideals with practical implementation. The practical insight is to channel your capacity for sustained effort and strategic thinking in service of genuinely important collective goals, building structures that can outlast any individual contribution.
Pluto in Scorpio in House 8
Your Pluto in Scorpio in the eighth house is perhaps the single most intense placement in the entire zodiac ... the planet of transformation in its own sign, in its own natural house. Every eighth house theme is amplified to its maximum: shared resources, sexuality, death and rebirth, deep psychology, hidden forces, and the alchemical process of personal transformation. You have an extraordinary capacity to navigate crisis, confront mortality, and emerge from devastating experiences with greater power and wisdom. Your understanding of the human psyche runs to depths that most people never approach. Intimate bonds are intense, transformative, and non-negotiable in their demand for total honesty. Financial situations involving shared resources carry high stakes and may transform completely multiple times. The challenge is that the intensity of this placement can become addictive ... crisis as a way of life rather than a catalyst for growth. When you learn to find power in peace as well as transformation, your extraordinary depth becomes a gift of genuine healing rather than a perpetual descent into darkness.
North Node in Aries in House 1
℞Your North Node in Aries in the first house calls you to step forward as a bold, self-directed individual. You are here to shed a lifetime habit of deferring to others and instead claim your own identity with confidence. The first house magnifies this lesson: your very appearance, body language, and first impressions become the arena where growth unfolds. Practice making decisions quickly and acting on your own instincts without waiting for approval. Each time you lead with courage rather than compromise, you move powerfully toward your soul's purpose.
Chiron in Gemini in House 4
℞Chiron in Gemini in the fourth house brings the Wounded Healer into the most private and psychologically foundational sector of the chart ... the domain of home, family, roots, and the emotional bedrock established in earliest childhood ... filtered through mutable air's communicative energy and Mercury's instinct for connection through language. The wound here lives in the quality of language in your family of origin: what was said and what was left carefully unsaid, whether emotional truth was spoken or buried beneath pleasant conversation, whether the home was a place where your thoughts and feelings could be expressed or where certain subjects were effectively forbidden. Gemini's mutable quality means the family communication wound is adaptive ... it may have expressed as a household of endless talk that avoided all genuine depth, or as a quiet home where you learned to read unspoken subtext because speaking directly was somehow unsafe. Mercury rules Gemini, and in the fourth house its energy means your earliest sense of emotional security was mediated through language: how you were spoken to, whether you were listened to, whether the words used in your home carried actual emotional truth or served primarily as social performance. Your gift is a finely tuned sensitivity to the gap between what families say and what they actually mean ... you can hear the subtext in a room before anyone acknowledges it, which makes you an unusually effective guide for others trying to understand and heal their family communication patterns. To work with this energy consciously, invest in creating a home environment where emotional truth is spoken rather than managed ... where the conversations that matter are actually had. The growth edge is that mutable air in the fourth house can respond to the wound by staying perpetually in motion ... talking, processing, analyzing ... without ever landing in the emotional stillness that genuine healing requires, and the growth is learning to let some things be felt rather than said.
