What the chart says

Andrew, according to the stars

Core essence

Andrew notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Andrew is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.

How Andrew wants to be loved

Andrew wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with Andrew and they will quietly make your whole life run better.

How Andrew creates

How Andrew makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Andrew creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.

Instinct

Instinct: Andrew is quick, clever and alert, a Rat year, and their gut reaction to a problem is to find the angle nobody has tried. Charming, resourceful, a little bit of a hoarder of good things and good people. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 3 is the creative. Andrew is here to express, to make, to say the thing in a way nobody has said it before. Joy is the work: the writing, the performing, the making people laugh. The lesson is finishing what the spark started.

Triggers

Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Andrew fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

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.

Virgo Sun

Standards nobody else can meet.

Andrew Grove's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 2, 1936, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.

Fire Rat

Resourceful is an understatement.

Andrew Grove was born on September 2, 1936, which falls in a Fire Rat year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Rat readings emphasise quickness, resourcefulness and an eye for the opening nobody else has noticed. The Chinese almanacs describe the Rat as the strategist of the cycle, first in the order because it saw the shortcut. The corresponding caution in the tradition is scatter: too many angles worked at once, and charm spent where patience was needed.

Life Path 3

Creative, loud, warm.

Andrew Grove's birth date, September 2, 1936, reduces to Life Path 3 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 3 readings associate the number with expression: words, humour, performance and making things. Numerologists describe it as the path of the communicator, sociable and quick. The corresponding tension is dispersal, with the caution that many things begun and few finished is the classical pattern the tradition warns this number about.

Andrew’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Andrew Grove, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 15° to 0° Pisces or Aries 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.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Andrew’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.

  • ⚷ ChironGemini 22°52′ (moves 0.03° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has Andrew turning that into a careful, exact way with words.

  • ⚳ CeresScorpio 26°06′ (moves 0.28° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Scorpio is read as nurture that goes all in: loyalty, intensity, a care that does not do halfway. Andrew is read as fierce about the people counted as theirs.

  • ♡ ErosLibra 14°15′ (moves 0.78° 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. Andrew is read as someone who wants the pairing itself as much as the person.

  • ⚕ HygieaCancer 5°38′ (moves 0.24° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Andrew is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 26°28′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of Andrew that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.

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.

  • Eros sextile Mars 0.5°
  • Hygiea square Mercury 1.0°
  • Eros sextile Jupiter 1.1°
  • Ceres sextile Venus 1.5°
  • Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 1.6°
  • Ceres trine Pluto 2.0°

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°).

Andrew’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. 1. ☿ Mercury6 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Venus, Neptune

  2. 2. ♃ Jupiter6 pts

    in its own sign, Sagittarius; 4 major aspects

  3. 3. ♆ Neptune5 pts

    disposes Saturn; 4 major aspects

A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Andrew is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.

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 Andrew’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.

  • stellium, the shape it makesStellium in Virgo · Sun, Venus, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
  • t square, the shape it makesT-square onto Jupiter · Saturn, Neptune, JupiterAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.

Minor aspects

semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.

  • Jupiter biquintile Uranus 0.1°
  • Mars biquintile Saturn 0.9°
  • Mars semi-sextile Neptune 1.5°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Andrew Grove, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Born the same day as Andrew

Gwyn Thomas was born on September 2, 1936 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

No birth time is on public record for Andrew Grove, 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

Andrew’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q432929, 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.
