What the chart says
Greg, according to the stars
Core essence
Greg 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 Greg is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
The vibe
Underneath, Greg is porous: other people's moods get in, and so does beauty, and so does the sad song. The Moon in Pisces feels everything and forgives most of it. What Greg needs to feel safe is gentleness and someone who does not make them explain the tears. They will love you back with their whole imagination.
How Greg wants to be loved
Greg wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with Greg even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Greg creates
How Greg makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Greg builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Greg is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 22 is the master builder. Greg is here to turn a big vision into something that actually stands, at a scale most people would not attempt. Practical and visionary at once, patient, and learning that even the largest things are built one day at a time.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Greg does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Greg Grandin in 15 seconds
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunSees the typo from across the room.
Greg Grandin's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 13, 1962, 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.
Water Tiger
Water TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
Greg Grandin was born on September 13, 1962, which falls in a Water Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 22
Life Path 22Big blueprint, real hands.
Greg Grandin's birth date, September 13, 1962, reduces to Life Path 22 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 22 readings treat the number as a master path, associated with large-scale building: ambitious ideas combined with the practical structure to realise them. Numerologists read it as an intensified 4, the builder working at the scale of institutions. The corresponding tension is the gap between vision and execution, with the caution that a plan this large can stall on its own weight.
What stands out in Greg’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Greg Grandin's date-only chart is Venus trine Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Uranus and Pluto, sit together in Virgo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Greg Grandin combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the physical plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Explorer.
Greg’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Greg Grandin, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 5° to 20° Pisces 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.

Greg’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.
⚷ Chiron ℞Pisces 7°54′ (moves 0.05° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has Greg absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresLeo 12°25′ (moves 0.42° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. Greg is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosLeo 18°01′ (moves 0.93° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Leo is read as desire that wants to be adored and to adore in return. The reading has Greg loving with an audience in mind, even an audience of one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aquarius 26°40′ (moves 0.15° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. Greg is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 5°37′ (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 Greg 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.
- Black Moon Lilith trine Saturn 0.3°
- Ceres square Neptune 1.0°
- Eros sextile Mercury 1.1°
- Chiron trine Venus 1.8°
- Chiron conjunction Jupiter 1.9°
- Chiron opposition Pluto 2.3°
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°).
Greg’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. ☿ Mercury7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Uranus, Pluto; 1 major aspect
2. ♀ Venus6 pts
disposes Mercury; 5 major aspects
3. ♆ Neptune6 pts
disposes Jupiter; 5 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Greg 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 Greg’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 in Virgo · Sun, Uranus, PlutoThree 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.
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.
- Sun sesquiquadrate Saturn 0.1°
- Mercury semi-square Uranus 0.2°
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.7°
- Jupiter semi-sextile Saturn 0.7°
- Saturn biquintile Pluto 1.1°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Greg Grandin, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Greg’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q5605626, 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.
