A chart that balances, negotiates and makes it look effortless. Gartner is a listed company, so its birthday is the day its shares first changed hands in public, filed under Information Technology.
The birth certificate
Gartner's first trade was on Tuesday, October 5, 1993. No hospital, no birth certificate, but a date and a time, which is all a chart needs.

Sun in Libra
On that date the Sun was in the middle of Libra (12 degrees in), so IT is a Libra. In the tradition that is the scales, which balances, negotiates and makes it look effortless. It also takes a very long time to choose a restaurant, which is less often put in the prospectus.
Cardinal Air: that is the short version of Gartner. The long version is that the sign is cardinal, the quality that opens each season and likes to go first, and that air signs run on ideas: they connect, compare and talk it through.
The rest of the sky
IT's Moon is in Gemini, a placement that processes every feeling by describing it to someone. The phase was a waning gibbous Moon, just past full, the phase of sharing what was learned. Further out: Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Virgo, Mars in Scorpio, Jupiter in Libra and Saturn in Aquarius.
The numbers
Add the date's digits and reduce them and you get Life Path 1: the self-starter who would rather lead than be consulted. In BaZi, 1993 gives a Water Rooster year, precise, proud and up before everyone, and a Day Master of Yin Earth, where earth holds everything up and hates being rushed.
The name gets a vote too. "Gartner" adds up to an Expression number of 11/2, a master number, the visionary who picks up signals nobody else hears. Its Soul Urge (vowels only) is 6 and its Personality (consonants only) is 5.
IT as a person
NatalWealth's archetype engine does not know it is reading a ticker. Given Gartner's birth date, it returns The Founder.
