What the chart says
Alanis, according to the stars
Core essence
Alanis is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Alanis needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Alanis feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Alanis needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Alanis wants to be loved
Alanis wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Alanis is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Alanis creates
How Alanis makes things happen: they seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. Alanis creates by sensing, by imagination, by noticing what nobody else said. Their influence is quiet and total. The work is not dissolving into everyone else's weather.
Instinct
Instinct: Alanis is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Alanis is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Alanis leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means Alanis does not fight for themselves easily but will go to war for someone they love. The anger comes out sideways at first, then all at once. Protectiveness is the whole engine.

Ottawa sits at 45.4°N, high enough that Capella and Deneb never set there — they circle the pole all night, every night of the year.
Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman cannot be seen from Ottawa at all: they sit past the −44.6° declination limit this latitude imposes.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Alanis’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q130742 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. The birth time is rated A on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is: from the person, their family, or a contemporaneous account. From Astro-Databank (Rodden A). Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
Tropical zodiac, whole-sign houses, modern rulers. Aspects on the western_v1 orb policy; minor ones at 1.5° to 2.5°, skipped where a major already holds. Minor bodies from JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, Lilith as mean apogee. Dominance is an AsterNym score — rulerships, dispositors, angularity, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.
