About the people directory
Where the facts come from, who is listed, what is never published, how the charts and numbers are worked out, and how to have a profile corrected or removed.
In short
The SNVRKOTICS people directory lists well-known adults with their birth dates. The facts come from Wikidata and are checked again about once a week.
From each birth date this site works out a birth chart, the Chinese zodiac year, the BaZi pillars and numerology numbers. Those are for entertainment. A profile can be corrected or removed on request.
Where the facts come from
Every profile starts from one item on Wikidata, the open database of the Wikimedia projects. Wikidata publishes its data under the CC0 public domain dedication. Each profile links to the item it was read from, and to the English Wikipedia article when there is one.
The directory reads a fixed list of facts and nothing else: the name and one-line description, the dates of birth and death, the birthplace, occupations, the official website, account names on X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, the name of a photograph on Wikimedia Commons, and the record label or agency a person is listed with. It also reads how many Wikipedia editions and sister projects have a page on the person. That count is the order of every list.
Not everything read is shown. A photograph appears only after its license has been checked, and then with its license and credit.
Each profile is checked against Wikidata again about once a week and shows the date of its last check. A change made on Wikidata reaches the profile at its next check.
The sun sign, the birth chart, the Chinese zodiac year, the BaZi pillars and the numerology numbers do not come from Wikidata. They are worked out on this site from the birth date, by the method below.
Who is listed
- Adults only
- Nobody under 18 has a profile. The age is checked when a person is added and again every time a page is shown, so a birth date corrected to a later one takes the profile down by itself.
- An exact birth date
- Wikidata must give a full day, in the Gregorian calendar, in 1900 or later. A year alone is not enough. When Wikidata gives two different birth dates the person is not listed, because the adults-only rule rests on that date.
- A name, a description and an occupation
- All three have to be on the Wikidata item.
- The most widely covered first
- The directory is filled starting with the people who have a page in the most Wikipedia editions and sister projects.
- Living or not
- People who have died are listed too, with the date of death.
- Rechecked every week
- A person who no longer meets these rules at a weekly check is taken off the pages.
What is never published
The directory does not collect or publish:
- Family members
- Relationships
- Religion
- Health
- Net worth
- Home addresses
- Personal phone numbers or email addresses
This is how the directory is built, not a promise to be careful. It asks Wikidata for the fixed list of facts above and has no place to keep anything else. A check that runs every time the site is built fails if that list changes.
Two things are shown in Wikidata's own words: the one-line description under a name, and the names of occupations. The directory does not edit them. If either says something that does not belong here, ask for a correction.
How it is worked out
Every sign, pillar and number is computed on this site from the birth date. This is how, and where each can be uncertain.
Sun sign and birth chart
The chart shows where the Sun, the Moon, the planets from Mercury to Pluto and the Moon's north node stood on the birth date, and the angles between them, called aspects. Positions are in the tropical zodiac, the one tied to the seasons, as seen from the Earth.
A birth time is almost never known, and the chart says so. Without one it is drawn for noon at the birthplace, or noon UTC when the birthplace is not known either. Everything that depends on the hour is then left out or marked. There are no houses, no rising sign and no midheaven. Aspects to the Moon are left out, because the Moon moves about 13 degrees in a day. A body that changes sign during the birth day is marked as uncertain. That is most often the Moon.
Houses, a rising sign and a midheaven appear only when a birth time has been added by hand with a public source, which the profile links to. The houses are whole sign houses.
The sun sign on a profile and in the lists is the sign the Sun was in at that noon. On about one day in thirty the Sun changes sign, and which side a person falls on depends on an hour nobody recorded. The profile says so on those days.
Five aspects are counted: conjunction (within 8 degrees of exact), sextile (4), square (6), trine (6) and opposition (8). The node is the mean node.
Chinese zodiac year
The Chinese zodiac year turns at the lunar new year, in late January or in February, not on January 1. A birthday before the new year belongs to the year before.
The date of each new year is computed astronomically, by the calendar's own rule: a month begins on the day of a new moon, the month that holds the winter solstice is the eleventh, and the new year is the first day of the first month. Days are counted at UTC+8, the time zone the calendar is reckoned in. One year is taken from the almanac of its day instead: 1916 began on February 3, when the calendar still ran on Beijing local time.
The element of a year (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water) comes from the year's heavenly stem, so the year that begins in 2026 is a Fire Horse year.
On the new year date and the day before it, the animal could be either one. The new year is a day in China, and a birth date is a day wherever the person was born, with no time attached. Those profiles say so.
Years from 1900 to 2100 are covered.
BaZi, the Four Pillars
BaZi gives a heavenly stem and an earthly branch each to the year, the month, the day and the hour of a birth. Those are the four pillars.
The BaZi year is not the zodiac year. It turns at the start of spring (Lichun), when the Sun reaches 315 degrees, around February 4. Someone born between that day and the lunar new year has a different animal in each, and both are right for what they describe.
Months turn at the twelve solar terms that begin a month, at the instant the Sun reaches each one, not on fixed calendar dates. The day pillar turns at midnight.
The hour pillar needs a birth time. Without one a profile shows three pillars, and a pillar is marked as uncertain when the start of a month or of the year falls within the hours the person could have been born in.
With a birth time, the hour is read from the clock time as written, and 23:00 to 23:59 counts as the first hour (Zi) of the same day. Schools that start the next day at 23:00 differ in that one hour.
Numerology
A date reduces to a number in three steps. The same steps give the life path (the number of the birth date) and the number of any day on the calendar.
- Take the month, the day and the year. A part that is itself 11, 22 or 33 is kept whole; any other part is replaced by the sum of its digits. Add the three. That total is the compound.
- If the compound is 11, 22 or 33 it stands: those are the master numbers. Otherwise add its digits, and again, until one digit or a master number is left.
- Print it as reduced/compound, such as 3/30, or as the bare number when nothing was reduced, such as 22 or 4.
Worked example
November 9, 2026 is 11 + 9 + (2 + 0 + 2 + 6) = 30, which reduces to 3. It is printed 3/30.
A compound of exactly 20 reads as 11 instead of 2. September 9, 2000 is 9 + 9 + (2 + 0 + 0 + 0) = 20, printed 11/20. It is the one unusual rule of the calendar this method follows.
The birthday number is the day of the month reduced the same way: the 29th is 11/29. The number of a year adds the digits of the year: 2026 is 1/10. The personal year sets the birth month and day against another year.
Numerology has more than one school. Some reduce every part to a single digit first, and some add every digit of the date in one row. They disagree about which dates come to 11 and 22, so another site can give a different number for the same date.
The birthday calendar
The calendar prints the number of each day and marks two things: the day the Sun enters a sign, and the lunar new year. It covers 1900 to 2100.
Sign changes are marked on the UTC date. The Sun enters a sign at one instant, and which calendar day that is depends on where the reader stands, so the mark can be a day off where you are.
A profile's sun sign does not come from the calendar. It is computed for the person's own birth date and birthplace.
Astrology, BaZi and numerology are entertainment
The sun signs, birth charts, Chinese zodiac years, BaZi pillars and numerology numbers on these pages are for entertainment. They are astronomy and arithmetic applied to a birth date. They are not statements of fact about anyone, and they say nothing about a person's character, health, choices or future.
The birth facts are a different matter. Those come from Wikidata and are meant to be right. If one is wrong, say so.
Corrections and removal
A profile can be corrected or removed on request, by email.
Write to us
Requests go to the same address as every privacy request on this site.
The Privacy Policy says how requests are handled.
- What to send
- The address of the profile (it starts with snvrkotics.com/people/), and what is wrong or that you want the profile removed.
- A wrong fact
- The facts are Wikidata's. A date, a place or an occupation that is wrong there has to be corrected there, and the profile follows at its next weekly check. If the profile should not stay up as it is until then, write to us.
- A wrong sign, pillar or number
- If the birth date is right and something worked out from it looks wrong, that is ours to fix. Say which one.
- A birth time
- A birth time is added only with a public source that the profile can link to.
- Removal
- A removed profile is deleted, not hidden. The person's Wikidata item goes on a block list that the importer reads before every write, so the profile is not imported again.
Questions
It is a directory of well-known people. Each profile gives the birth date, the birthplace when it is known, and what is worked out from the birth date: a birth chart, the Chinese zodiac year, the BaZi pillars and numerology numbers. There is also a birthday calendar. The astrology, BaZi and numerology are for entertainment.
Names, descriptions, birth and death dates, birthplaces and occupations come from Wikidata, which publishes its data under the CC0 public domain dedication. Each profile is checked against Wikidata again about once a week and shows the date of its last check.
Only adults with an exact birth date on Wikidata: a full day, in 1900 or later, with no second date that disagrees. Nobody under 18 is listed. The people with a page in the most Wikipedia editions and sister projects are added first.
Family members, relationships, religion, health, net worth, home addresses, and personal phone numbers or email addresses. The directory asks Wikidata for a fixed list of facts and has no place to keep anything else. The one-line description and the names of occupations are shown in Wikidata's own words.
It is drawn for noon at the birthplace, in the tropical zodiac. Without a birth time there are no houses, no rising sign and no midheaven, aspects to the Moon are left out, and a body that changes sign during the day, most often the Moon, is marked as uncertain.
They turn on different days. The zodiac year turns at the lunar new year, which is computed astronomically with days counted at UTC+8. The BaZi year turns at the start of spring, around February 4. A person born between those two dates has a different animal in each.
Take the month, the day and the year of birth. A part that is 11, 22 or 33 is kept whole, and any other part is replaced by the sum of its digits. Add the three parts, then add the digits of the total until one digit, or 11, 22 or 33, is left. A total of exactly 20 reads as 11. November 9, 2026 is 11 + 9 + (2 + 0 + 2 + 6) = 30, which reduces to 3.
Email support@snvrkotics.com with the address of the profile and what is wrong, or that you want it removed. A removed profile is deleted, and its Wikidata item is blocked from being imported again.
