What the chart says
David, according to the stars
Core essence
David notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of David is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
How David wants to be loved
David wants to be loved attentively. Venus in Virgo shows love through service, the fixed thing, the remembered appointment, and wants to be loved the same way: notice what they did. Big words matter less than the follow-through. Be reliable with David and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How David creates
How David makes things happen: they light the room. A Yang Fire day master is the sun, warm, visible, impossible to ignore, generous with energy and expecting the same back. David creates in front of people and is at their best with an audience and a cause. The work is learning to rest before the fire does it for them.
Instinct
Instinct: David is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 2 is the peacemaker. David is here to bring people together, to feel the undercurrents and smooth them, to be the reason a room works. Sensitive, diplomatic, quietly essential, and learning that their own needs count too.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means David fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

The sky over Evansville that night
Computed for 37.97°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Evansville was Fawaris, in Cygnus, 82.9° up.
Arcturus was the brightest thing up that night, one of 85 catalog stars above the horizon.
From 38.0°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.
Nothing below −52.0° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Evansville on any night.
Sun 23° below the horizon, Moon up and 97% lit at full moon.

Born the same day as David
Jean Smart was born on September 13, 1951 too, the same date and the same year. With no birth time for any of them the chart is identical, not similar: the same Sun, the same pillars, the same Life Path. One thing a birthday twin cannot share is the latitude. At 38.0°N, the sky above Evansville stops at −52.0° declination. Same sky, different lives.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
David’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3018088 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. With no documented birth time this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. The banner above lists what that leaves out. 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, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.
