Grimes’s AsterNym identity
The Gilded Storyteller
Metal represents precision. Metal-led charts are associated with standards, boundaries, discernment and the ability to remove what is unnecessary. Life Path 1 represents initiative: beginning, working independently and moving before everyone agrees.

The record
What sets Grimes apart
Nat King Cole (1919) and Kurt Russell (1951) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Grimes, according to the stars
Core essence
Grimes feels everything, and it is the best and hardest thing about them. The core of Grimes is imagination with a soft heart behind it: the daydream, the creative pull, the instinct that knows how someone is doing before they do. They absorb the mood of a room and give back something kinder. Their softness is not weakness, it is the whole point.
How Grimes wants to be loved
Grimes wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Grimes is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Grimes creates
How Grimes makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Grimes creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.
Instinct
Instinct: Grimes is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Grimes is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Grimes leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: incompetence, and disrespect. Mars in Capricorn means Grimes does not waste energy on anger; they use it. Controlled, strategic, relentless, the person who will outlast the problem. Cold when crossed, and quietly forgiving once you have earned it back.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place.

Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
If you only read one paragraph
Pisces Sun
Pisces SunKind, porous, easily flooded.
Grimes's Sun was in Pisces for the whole of March 17, 1988, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Pisces readings associate the sign with imagination, empathy and permeable boundaries: absorbing the mood of a place and turning it into something. Astrologers describe it as the mutable water sign, traditionally ruled by Jupiter and in modern practice by Neptune. The corresponding tension is drift, described in the tradition as a difficulty telling one's own feelings from everyone else's.
Earth Dragon
Earth DragonBorn for the big room.
Grimes was born on March 17, 1988, which falls in a Earth Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 1
Life Path 1Starts things. Lots of things.
Grimes's birth date, March 17, 1988, reduces to Life Path 1 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 1 readings associate the number with initiative, independence and the role of going first: deciding, beginning and leading before agreement has formed. Numerologists describe it as the path of the pioneer. The corresponding tension is isolation, with the caution that the front of the line can be a lonely place to stand.
What stands out in Grimes’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Grimes' date-only chart is Mercury sextile Jupiter, with an orb of under 1°.
- Four planets, Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, sit together in Capricorn, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Six of the ten planets are in Earth signs, and none in Fire and Air.
- Grimes combines a Metal Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the mental plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Gilded Storyteller.
Grimes’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Grimes, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 16° to 1° 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.

Grimes’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 23°21′ (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 Grimes turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresAquarius 29°23′ (moves 0.38° 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. Grimes is read as someone whose care shows up as fairness to many rather than fuss over one.
♡ ErosAquarius 16°23′ (moves 0.56° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Aquarius is read as desire for the unusual and the friend-first bond. Grimes is read as needing a shared idea before a shared bed.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Virgo 1°16′ (moves 0.16° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Virgo sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: health as maintenance. Grimes is read as attentive to small signals and prone to over-attending.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLeo 23°35′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. Grimes is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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.
- Hygiea trine Uranus 0.4°
- Hygiea opposition Mercury 0.6°
- Hygiea trine Jupiter 0.7°
- Hygiea trine Saturn 0.8°
- Ceres sextile Uranus 1.5°
- Ceres conjunction Mercury 2.5°
- Ceres sextile Jupiter 2.6°
- Ceres sextile Saturn 2.7°
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°).
Grimes’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. ♄ Saturn10 pts
in its own sign, Capricorn; disposes Mars, Uranus, Neptune; 5 major aspects
2. ♆ Neptune9 pts
rules the Sun sign, Pisces; disposes Sun, Mercury; 4 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus6 pts
in its own sign, Taurus; disposes Jupiter; 3 major aspects
A Saturn-led chart is read as structure and endurance leading: Grimes is read as someone who builds slowly and keeps what is built.
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 Grimes’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 Capricorn · Mars, Saturn, Uranus, 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.
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 semi-square Venus 0.1°
- Sun sesquiquadrate Pluto 0.2°
- Mercury semi-square Mars 0.4°
- Sun quintile Mars 1.0°
- Mercury quintile Venus 1.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Grimes, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Grimes’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q117970, 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.
