The record
What sets Ioan apart
Ernest Walton (1903) and Riccardo Giacconi (1931) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Ioan, according to the stars
Core essence
Ioan makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Ioan is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
How Ioan wants to be loved
Ioan 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 Ioan even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How Ioan creates
How Ioan makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Ioan creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: Ioan is steady under pressure, an Ox year, and their gut reaction is to keep going. Patient, stubborn in the useful way, the one still working when the others have gone home, and quietly very proud of it. The Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Ioan is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
Triggers
Triggers: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Ioan is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

Ioan Gruffudd in 15 seconds
Libra Sun
Libra SunMakes the peace, keeps the peace.
Ioan Gruffudd's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 6, 1973, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Water Ox
Water OxSays little. Finishes everything.
Ioan Gruffudd was born on October 6, 1973, which falls in a Water Ox year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Ox readings emphasise endurance, reliability and the capacity to finish what was started, slowly and without complaint. The Chinese almanacs describe the Ox as the worker of the cycle, whose word holds. The corresponding caution in the tradition is stubbornness that presents itself as principle, and a difficulty changing course once a furrow has been cut.
Life Path 9
Life Path 9Wide view, open hands.
Ioan Gruffudd's birth date, October 6, 1973, reduces to Life Path 9 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 9 readings associate the number with compassion, generosity and completion: a wide view that takes in more than one person's experience. Numerologists describe it as the path of the humanitarian, the last single digit and the one that closes cycles. The corresponding tension is diffuseness, with the caution that caring about everyone can be easier than showing up for someone.
What stands out in Ioan’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in Ioan Gruffudd's date-only chart is Saturn square Pluto, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Uranus and Pluto, sit together in Libra, which astrologers call a stellium.
- Five of the ten planets fall in Fixed signs, making Fixed the strongest modality in this chart.
- Ioan Gruffudd combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a cardinal Sun and a Life Path on the intuitive plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Visionary.
Ioan’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Ioan Gruffudd, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 29° to 11° Capricorn or 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.

Ioan’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 ℞Aries 18°52′ (moves 0.05° 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: Ioan may have learnt early that going first costs something, and built a way of leading that does not need permission.
⚳ CeresSagittarius 17°53′ (moves 0.31° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Sagittarius is read as nurture through freedom and wider horizons. Ioan is read as someone who looks after people by giving them room.
♡ ErosScorpio 12°28′ (moves 0.70° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Scorpio sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: desire as depth and total exposure. Ioan is read as uninterested in anything half-felt.
⚕ HygieaAquarius 13°32′ (moves 0.03° 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. Ioan is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithCapricorn 5°46′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn is read as ambition that does not ask to be liked. Ioan is read as someone who takes the authority rather than waiting for 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.
- Hygiea trine Sun 0.5°
- Black Moon Lilith sextile Mercury 0.8°
- Black Moon Lilith opposition Saturn 1.1°
- Black Moon Lilith square Pluto 1.1°
- Black Moon Lilith trine Mars 1.5°
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°).
Ioan’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. ♀ Venus7 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mars, Uranus, Pluto
2. ♇ Pluto6 pts
disposes Mercury, Venus; 4 major aspects
3. ♃ Jupiter5 pts
disposes Neptune; 4 major aspects
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: Ioan is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
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 Ioan’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 Libra · 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.
T-square onto Jupiter · Mercury, Mars, JupiterAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
Yod onto Neptune · Mars, Saturn, NeptuneTwo planets in sextile, both quincunx a third. Astrologers call it the finger of fate and read the apex as an adjustment the chart keeps returning to.- Yod onto Saturn · Jupiter, Neptune, SaturnTwo planets in sextile, both quincunx a third. Astrologers call it the finger of fate and read the apex as an adjustment the chart keeps returning to.
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.

- Saturn quincunx Neptune 0.7°
- Sun semi-square Venus 1.3°
- Mars quincunx Neptune 1.9°
- Jupiter quincunx Saturn 2.3°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Ioan Gruffudd, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Ioan’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q295974, 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.
