What the chart says
David, according to the stars
Core essence
David makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of David is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
The vibe
Underneath, David is steadier than they let on and more tender than they let on, both at once. The Moon in Capricorn feels deeply and privately, and would rather fix the problem than talk about the feeling. What David needs to feel safe is reliability and respect. They soften completely for the people who earn it.
How David wants to be loved
David wants to be loved completely or not at all. Venus in Scorpio is intense, private and all in, and wants the same depth back: no games, no half measures. Trust is the whole thing. Be honest with David even when it costs you, and they will be the most devoted person you have ever met.
How David creates
How David makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. David creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: David 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. David is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: feeling unsafe, or seeing their people treated badly. Mars in Cancer means David 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.

No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
The quick version
Libra Sun
Libra SunFair to a fault, slow to pick.
David Baker's Sun was in Libra for the whole of October 6, 1962, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Libra readings associate the sign with balance, fairness and partnership: an instinct for the other side of an argument and for making a room feel at ease. Astrologers describe it as the cardinal air sign, ruled by Venus. The corresponding tension is indecision, with the classical caution that weighing every side can become a way of never choosing one.
Water Tiger
Water TigerBrave, bright, burns fast.
David Baker was born on October 6, 1962, which falls in a Water Tiger year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Tiger readings emphasise courage, presence and the willingness to go first. The Chinese almanacs describe the Tiger as the sign others follow, bright and impulsive, at its best when the stakes are high. The corresponding caution in the tradition is burnout: a sign that burns brightly and, without pacing, burns out, with little left in reserve for the long middle of things.
Life Path 7
Life Path 7Needs the quiet to work.
David Baker's birth date, October 6, 1962, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for David Baker, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 6° to 19° Capricorn depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

David’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ Chiron ℞Pisces 6°56′ (moves 0.04° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Pisces is read as a wound around boundaries and faith. The reading has David absorbing more of a room than most, and needing somewhere to put it down.
⚳ CeresLeo 21°54′ (moves 0.40° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Leo is read as nurture through encouragement and applause. David is read as someone who grows people by making them feel seen.
♡ ErosVirgo 9°26′ (moves 0.92° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Virgo is read as desire expressed through attention to detail: noticing, improving, being useful. David is read as slow to start and exact once started.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aquarius 24°24′ (moves 0.04° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aquarius is read as health through the unconventional: odd hours, own methods. David is read as someone who ignores the standard advice and sometimes proves it wrong.
⚸ Black Moon LilithLibra 8°11′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Libra is read as the part of David that will not keep the peace at the price of the self. Fairness, on these terms, is not the same as niceness.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Ceres square Venus 1.1°
- Hygiea square Venus 1.4°
- Eros conjunction Pluto 1.6°
- Eros sextile Neptune 2.7°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
David’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ♀ Venus6 pts
rules the Sun sign, Libra; disposes Sun, Mercury; 1 major aspect
2. ♇ Pluto5 pts
disposes Venus, Neptune; 3 major aspects
3. ☿ Mercury3 pts
disposes Uranus, Pluto; 1 major aspect
A Venus-led chart is read as taste and relationship setting the terms: David is read as choosing by what is beautiful and who is in the room.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in David’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Venus quintile Pluto 0.0°
- Venus quintile Saturn 0.2°
- Saturn biquintile Pluto 0.2°
- Mars biquintile Jupiter 0.5°
- Mercury semi-sextile Neptune 0.6°
- Sun semi-sextile Neptune 0.9°
- Jupiter semi-sextile Saturn 1.1°
- Mars semi-square Pluto 1.2°
- Saturn quincunx Uranus 1.3°
- Mercury semi-sextile Pluto 1.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for David Baker, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
David’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3814528, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
