Scorpio Sun
Scorpio SunIntense. Loyal. All or nothing.
Intensity · depth · devotion
Scorpio energy is read as intense and all-or-nothing — you may prefer few deep bonds over many light ones. Your loyalty runs deep; the growth edge is letting people in before they've fully earned it.
Wood Dragon
Wood DragonBig energy, bigger plans.
Confident · vital · larger than life
Dragon years are linked to charisma and big ambition — you may set standards others organize around. The tradition's caution is impatience with ordinary rhythms and ordinary people.
Life Path 8
Life Path 8Wants it all. Gets most.
Ambition · mastery · earned standing
An 8 path suggests a life theme of mastery — ambition, resources and influence may keep testing you. The practice is measuring wealth in more than one currency.
Paul’s cards
Every one is calculated from the birth date, not chosen: the tarot card by reducing the digits of November 13, 1964, the identity card by combining the BaZi day-master element with the Life Path number, and the two zodiac cards from the sun’s position and the Chinese year branch, and the metal from the planet that traditionally rules that sign.

you & partnership
No birth time is on public record for Paul Graham, 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
Paul’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q92650, released under CC0. No documented birth time is available. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart.
