The record
What sets Greta apart
Barack Obama (1961) and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (1981) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Greta, according to the stars
Core essence
Greta is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of Greta is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
The vibe
Underneath, Greta processes by talking. The Moon in Gemini means a feeling is not real until it has been said out loud, ideally to two people, ideally with a joke attached. What Greta needs to feel safe is someone who will listen to the whole thought, including the three tangents, without rushing them to a point.
How Greta wants to be loved
Greta 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 Greta and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Greta creates
How Greta 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. Greta 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: Greta 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 6 is the nurturer. Greta is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Greta 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.

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Sacramento 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.
The quick version
Leo Sun
Leo SunLoves an audience. Earns one.
Greta Gerwig's Sun was in Leo for the whole of August 4, 1983, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Leo readings associate the sign with warmth, visibility and generosity: a natural claim on attention and a habit of handing it back as encouragement. Astrologers describe it as the fixed fire sign, ruled by the Sun. The corresponding tension is pride, with the classical caution that the need to be seen can crowd out people who would rather not be.
Water Pig
Water PigWarm, sincere, easy company.
Greta Gerwig was born on August 4, 1983, 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 6
Life Path 6Home is the project.
Greta Gerwig's birth date, August 4, 1983, reduces to Life Path 6 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 6 readings associate the number with care, responsibility and beauty: home, family and the instinct to support the people nearby. Numerologists describe it as the path of the nurturer. The corresponding tension is over-responsibility, with the caution that carrying other people's burdens can become a way of avoiding one's own.
What stands out in Greta’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Greta Gerwig's date-only chart is Mercury square Uranus, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, sit together in Sagittarius, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets fall in Mutable signs, making Mutable the strongest modality in this chart.
- Greta Gerwig combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a fixed Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Guardian.
Greta’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Greta Gerwig, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 9° to 23° Gemini 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.

Greta’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 2°18′ (moves 0.04° 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 Greta turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ Ceres ℞Aquarius 22°55′ (moves 0.21° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Aquarius is read as nurture at the scale of the group. Greta is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosGemini 19°23′ (moves 0.83° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Gemini is read as desire that starts in conversation. Greta is read as someone for whom a quick mind is the first attraction.
⚕ HygieaScorpio 0°15′ (moves 0.28° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Scorpio is read as health through release and honest reckoning. The tradition has Greta carrying stress in the body until it is named.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAquarius 15°38′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius is read as the outsider who chose it. The modern reading has Greta at odds with the group on principle and rarely lonely about it.
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 opposition Jupiter 1.2°
- Hygiea conjunction Saturn 1.6°
- Chiron square Mercury 2.8°
- Chiron opposition Uranus 2.8°
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°).
Greta’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. ☿ Mercury6 pts
in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Venus; 3 major aspects
2. ♃ Jupiter6 pts
in its own sign, Sagittarius; disposes Uranus, Neptune; 2 major aspects
3. ☉ Sun5 pts
rules the Sun sign, Leo; in its own sign, Leo
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Greta 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 Greta’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 stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
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 Neptune 0.1°
- Venus semi-square Mars 0.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Greta Gerwig, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Greta’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q271967, 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.
