What the chart says
David, according to the stars
Core essence
David is warm the way the sun is warm: not trying, just doing it. The core of David is a big open heart and a need to be seen loving with it. They are generous with praise, with time, with the spotlight when they trust you, and they will remember every kindness you paid them for years. Loyal to a fault, and glad of the fault.
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 seep in. A Yin Water day master is rain, mist, the still pool that reflects everything. David 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: David is creative and kind, a Goat year, and their gut reaction is to make it beautiful. Artistic, gentle, easily moved, and the friend everyone confides in. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
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: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means David runs hot underneath and cold on top; the anger is quiet, deep and long-remembered. They do not lose their temper, they decide. Point that focus at a goal and nothing survives in its way.

The sky over Maine that night
Computed for 45.50°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Maine was Rastaban, in Draco, 83.2° up.
Of the 85 catalog stars above the horizon, Arcturus was the brightest.
Maine sits at 45.5°N, high enough that Capella and Deneb never set there — they circle the pole all night, every night of the year.
Nothing below −44.5° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Maine on any night.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
David’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1176475 (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.
