What the chart says
Allan, according to the stars
Core essence
Allan is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Allan is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.
The vibe
Underneath, Allan needs air. The Moon in Aquarius feels things at a slight distance, thinks them over, and comes back with an answer that is kinder than the reaction would have been. What Allan needs to feel safe is space, friendship first, and to be accepted as exactly the odd shape they are. Then they are the most loyal person you know.
How Allan wants to be loved
Allan wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Allan, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.
How Allan creates
How Allan makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Allan creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Allan is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 4 is the builder. Allan is here to make things that last, to put structure under other people's dreams, to be trusted with the real work. Loyal, practical, honest, and learning that the plan can bend without breaking.
Triggers
Triggers: being fenced in, and being lied to. Mars in Sagittarius fights loud, laughs it off, and is genuinely fine ten minutes later. Allan has boundless energy for anything with a horizon in it and none for the small print. Aim them at something far away and step back.

Dedicate a star to Allan Temko
Three stars chosen from the real sky above New York City on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
Aquarius Sun
Ideas first, people second.
Allan Temko's Sun was in Aquarius for the whole of February 4, 1924, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aquarius readings associate the sign with independence, ideas and a stance slightly apart from the group it belongs to. Astrologers describe it as the fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus, and read it for principle and originality. The corresponding tension is detachment, with the classical caution that caring about everyone can be easier than being close to anyone.
Water Pig
Assumes the best. Usually right.
Allan Temko was born on February 4, 1924, which falls in a Water Pig year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Pig readings emphasise generosity, sincerity and an appetite for the good things, shared. The Chinese almanacs describe the Pig as the most open-handed sign in the cycle, trusting and hard to anger. The corresponding caution in the tradition is naivety, and a difficulty believing that anyone would take advantage of that trust.
Life Path 4
Structure is comfort.
Allan Temko's birth date, February 4, 1924, reduces to Life Path 4 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 4 readings associate the number with structure, patience and building: turning ideas into plans and plans into something that outlasts the mood that started it. Numerologists describe it as the path of the builder. The corresponding tension is rigidity, with the caution that the structure was meant to serve the life and not the reverse.
What stands out in Allan’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Allan Temko's date-only chart is Sun sextile Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Allan Temko combines a Water Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Tidal Architect.
Allan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Allan Temko, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 3° to 16° Aquarius depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Allan’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironAries 17°10′ (moves 0.03° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Aries is read as a sore spot around asserting oneself: Allan may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresPisces 5°23′ (moves 0.38° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Allan is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.
♡ ErosLibra 24°60′ (moves 0.55° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Libra is read as desire for the beautiful and the mutual. Allan is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.
⚕ HygieaPisces 23°19′ (moves 0.32° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Pisces is read as health that rises and falls with what is absorbed from others. The reading has Allan needing solitude to reset.
⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 24°42′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Allan is read as immovable on those points.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Chiron square Mercury 2.0°
- Chiron trine Neptune 2.0°
- Chiron sextile Sun 2.5°
- Chiron trine Jupiter 2.6°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Allan’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ♅ Uranus9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun; 5 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter8 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Mars; 5 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun4 pts
disposes Neptune; 3 major aspects
A Uranus-led chart is read as the break from pattern leading: Allan is read as someone who changes course before others see the need.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Allan’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.

No birth time is on public record for Allan Temko, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.
Where this data comes from
Allan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q2648070, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
