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 find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. David creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: David is loyal to the bone, a Dog year, and their gut reaction is to protect their people. Honest, fair, a little anxious about the world, and the most dependable friend in the room. The Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.
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 quick version
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunStandards nobody else can meet.
David J. Thouless's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 21, 1934, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Wood Dog
Wood DogWorries so you don't have to.
David J. Thouless was born on September 21, 1934, which falls in a Wood Dog year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dog readings emphasise loyalty, honesty and a strong sense of what is fair. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dog as the guardian of the cycle, protective of its own and quick to notice a wrong. The corresponding caution in the tradition is anxiety: a watchfulness that does not know when to stand down.
Life Path 2
Life Path 2Diplomat by instinct.
David J. Thouless's birth date, September 21, 1934, reduces to Life Path 2 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 2 readings associate the number with cooperation, diplomacy and mediation: working alongside others and holding a group together. Numerologists describe it as the path of the partner, and read its influence as quiet rather than visible. The corresponding tension is self-effacement, with the caution that influence exercised through others can go uncounted, including by the person exercising it.
What stands out in David’s chart
- The tightest major aspect in David J. Thouless' date-only chart is Venus conjunction Neptune, with an orb of under 1°.
- Three planets, Sun, Venus and Neptune, sit together in Virgo, which astrologers call a stellium.
- David J. Thouless combines a Wood Day Master in BaZi with a mutable Sun and a Life Path on the emotional plane, the combination AsterNym calls The Evergreen Healer.
David’s birth chart
Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for David J. Thouless, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 26° to 11° Aquarius or Pisces 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 ℞Gemini 9°55′ (moves 0.01° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Gemini is read as a tender spot around being heard or believed. The tradition has David turning that into a careful, exact way with words.
⚳ CeresCancer 18°26′ (moves 0.32° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Cancer sits in the sign the tradition links to it most closely: care as instinct. David is read as someone for whom looking after others is not a decision.
♡ ErosVirgo 24°03′ (moves 0.87° 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 22°20′ (moves 0.11° 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 LilithLeo 7°09′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Leo is read as a pride that will not perform on demand. David is read as most dangerous when underestimated.
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.
- Hygiea conjunction Saturn 0.2°
- Ceres square Mercury 1.2°
- Eros sextile Pluto 1.8°
- Chiron square Venus 2.8°
- Chiron square Neptune 2.8°
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. ☿ Mercury8 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Venus, Neptune; 2 major aspects
2. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus; 1 major aspect
3. ♃ Jupiter3 pts
3 major aspects
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: David is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
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.
Stellium in Virgo · Sun, Venus, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
T-square onto Pluto · Jupiter, Uranus, PlutoAn opposition with a third planet squaring both ends. Read as a driving tension that resolves through the apex planet.
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.
- Mars quintile Jupiter 0.1°
- Sun biquintile Saturn 0.7°
- Sun semi-square Mars 1.0°
- Venus semi-sextile Mars 1.0°
- Mars semi-sextile Neptune 1.1°
- Sun semi-sextile Jupiter 1.9°
- Venus semi-square Jupiter 1.9°
- Venus semi-square Pluto 1.9°
- Jupiter semi-square Neptune 1.9°
- Neptune semi-square Pluto 1.9°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for David J. Thouless, 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 Q726394, 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.
