Grimes’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief

Grimes was born on Thursday, 17 March 1988, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. That makes Grimes a Pisces. The Moon was in Pisces until about 21:45 and in Aries afterwards, so the Moon sign turns on the birth time. Grimes turns 38 in 2026. No verified birth time is on file for Grimes; the chart is cast for midday, without houses.

By element the count is six earth, three water, no fire and no air, leaving out the Moon, whose sign depends on the birth time. Across cardinal, fixed and mutable signs the split is four, three and two. Capricorn holds a stellium, four planets in one sign: Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. No two planets sit closer to an exact angle than Mercury and Jupiter: a sextile, about 0.1° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. One planet was retrograde: Pluto. The Moon was new.

StarMap's dataset holds 22 other people born on 17 March, among them Nat King Cole, Kurt Russell and Rudolf Nureyev. Wikidata links Grimes with one person in the dataset: Elon Musk (listed as partners, 2018 to 2021).

Grimes’s Sun, Moon and rising sign

Sun sign

Pisces

about 27° Pisces at midday

A Pisces Sun feels it all. Imagination, empathy and a porous sense of where the self ends and others begin tend to make Grimes the kind of person people confide in. This placement needs boundaries as much as it needs the sea.

All Pisces Suns

Moon sign

Pisces or Aries

Pisces until about 21:45, then Aries (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.

Born before about 21:45: Moon in Pisces

With the Moon in Pisces, Grimes may well pick up the mood of a whole room. Music, water, sleep and imagination tend to restore them, and it matters whose moods they carry home. The empathy of this Moon is a gift that needs a door.

Born after about 21:45: Moon in Aries

With the Moon in Aries, Grimes is likely to feel fast and forgive fast. Anger comes up quickly and passes just as quickly, and feeling needs a physical outlet. This is a Moon soothed by action, not by talking it over.

Rising sign

The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at each hour of the day.

Grimes’s rising sign, by birth time

StarMap has not verified a birth time for Grimes yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 17 March 1988, computed for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Grimes’s planets, sign by sign

Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Grimes’s private life.

  1. Sun in Pisces

    27° Pisces 26' at midday

    purpose and vitality

    The Sun in Pisces finds purpose in imagination, compassion and things that cannot quite be measured, and Grimes's vitality tends to ebb and flow with their surroundings. The thing to watch is losing their own direction inside someone else's story. There may be days when they feel unstoppable, and others when they need to disappear for a while.

  2. Moon in Pisces or Aries

    Pisces until about 21:45, then Aries

    needs and habits

    Born before about 21:45: Moon in Pisces

    The Moon in Pisces makes for a porous daily mood, one that picks up the emotional temperature of a room without choosing to. Quiet, music or time near water probably restores Grimes more than talking things out. It can be easy for them to miss how much of what they feel belongs to someone else.

    Born after about 21:45: Moon in Aries

    The Moon in Aries keeps day-to-day needs simple: something to do right now, and permission to feel it and move on. For Grimes, comfort probably comes from action rather than discussion. The instinct of this Moon is to pace the room or go for a walk rather than sit with a feeling until it passes on its own.

  3. Mercury in Pisces

    1° Pisces 51' at midday

    mind and voice

    Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Grimes is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.

  4. Venus in Taurus

    12° Taurus 33' at midday

    love and values

    Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Grimes's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.

  5. Mars in Capricorn

    16° Capricorn 28' at midday

    drive and anger

    Mars in Capricorn acts with discipline and patience, playing a longer game than most, and in Grimes's case its anger tends to be controlled, arriving as coldness rather than heat. The tendency is to go quiet and distant instead of saying what is wrong. A frustration is something to outwork rather than voice.

  6. Jupiter in Taurus

    1° Taurus 57' at midday

    growth and excess

    In Grimes's chart, Jupiter in Taurus grows through patience, and what it builds tends to come together slowly and steadily rather than in one leap. Taken too far, that can become excess: holding on to more comfort or more stuff than serves them. They are probably generous with food, gifts and shared pleasures, and now and then generosity tips into indulgence.

  7. Saturn in Capricorn

    2° Capricorn 04' at midday

    discipline and doubt

    Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Grimes, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.

  8. Uranus in Capricorn

    0° Capricorn 54' at midday

    freedom, generational

    Many people within a few years of Grimes's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.

  9. Neptune in Capricorn

    10° Capricorn 01' at midday

    imagination, generational

    Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Grimes and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

  10. Pluto in Scorpio

    12° Scorpio 17' at midday ℞

    power, generational

    Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Grimes's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.

Aspects in Grimes’s chart

How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.

  1. Mercury sextile Jupiter

    about 0.1° at midday

    Grimes's thinking and optimism keep easy company, which gives their conversation a natural, engaging breadth. Curiosity does much of the work with this aspect, opening doors in conversation that a narrower focus would have missed.

  2. Jupiter trine Saturn

    about 0.1° at midday

    Optimism and discipline reinforce each other in this trine, which lets Grimes pursue big goals with steady follow-through. Growth of this kind tends to be gradual and durable, not sudden and fragile, the sort of progress that survives a difficult year.

  3. Mercury sextile Saturn

    about 0.2° at midday

    Turning a loose idea into something solid is easier with Mercury sextile Saturn, because Grimes's thinking and sense of structure work together. The clarity is quiet and practical, and it shows most when a plan has to work.

  4. Venus opposition Pluto

    about 0.3° at midday

    A wish for deep intimacy meets a fear of losing oneself, or losing control, inside it: that is the pattern of Venus opposite Pluto. For Grimes, choosing vulnerability a little at a time, instead of guarding against it, tends to build the very depth being sought.

  5. Mercury sextile Uranus

    about 0.9° at midday

    Fresh angles on ordinary problems come easily to Grimes, because thinking and originality are friends here. Inventiveness takes little effort with this aspect, and it makes routine problems more interesting than they first appear.

  6. Jupiter trine Uranus

    about 1.1° at midday

    Jupiter trine Uranus gives Grimes a knack for spotting unconventional opportunities before other people do, which is what a sense of possibility and originality produce together. Growth arrives through new directions, ones a more cautious approach would probably have missed.

The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made

Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
