The record

What sets Eric apart

Lizzo (1988) and Frank Bainimarama (1954) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.

What the chart says

Eric, according to the stars

Core essence

Eric is the steady one, the person whose yes means yes and whose Sunday looks the same as it did last year because it was a good Sunday. The core of Eric is a deep loyalty to what is real: good food, a good bed, people who show up. They move slowly on purpose. Once they have decided something, it is decided, and that is a comfort to everyone around them.

The vibe

Underneath, Eric is all feeling, tide in and tide out. The Moon in Cancer means moods are weather, real and passing, and memory is long: they keep every kindness and, quietly, every slight. What Eric needs to feel safe is a soft place to land that is not going anywhere. Give them that and they give you everything.

How Eric wants to be loved

Eric wants to be loved boldly. Venus in Aries falls fast, says so, and wants you to chase back. Grand gestures land, so does a fight followed by a proper make-up. What bores them is hesitation. Be direct, be a little brave about them, and keep the spark lit on purpose.

How Eric creates

How Eric makes things happen: they are the ground everyone else stands on. A Yang Earth day master is the mountain, reliable, slow to move, immovable once it has. Eric creates by holding: the plan, the people, the standard. They are trusted before they have said a word, and the work is remembering that mountains are allowed to want things too.

Instinct

Instinct: Eric 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 Wood year adds growth: ideals, ambition, a need to be getting somewhere.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 6 is the nurturer. Eric is here to care, to make a home wherever they are, to be the person others come to. Responsible, warm, a little too willing to carry everyone, and learning to let themselves be looked after.

Triggers

Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Eric scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

The sky over Washington that night

Computed for 38.90°N, 9 p.m. local sky.

Overhead at Washington at 9 p.m. that evening: Tania Australis of Ursa Major, within 3.1° of the exact zenith.

The brightest star above the horizon was Sirius in Canis Major, and 104 catalog stars were up in all.

From 38.9°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.

The trade is at the other end of the sky: nothing south of −51.1° declination ever rises from here, which puts Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman permanently out of view.

The Moon was at first quarter, 38% lit, and above the horizon, with the Sun 12° down.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out

Eric’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q92747 (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.
