What the chart says
Harold, according to the stars
Core essence
Harold leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of Harold is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.
How Harold wants to be loved
Harold wants to be loved slowly and for real. Venus in Taurus is touch, food, the good blanket, the plan that does not change. They are sensual and steady and they want to be shown, not told: the small physical kindnesses count double. Once Harold is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Harold creates
How Harold makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Harold creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.
Instinct
Instinct: Harold is sharp and confident, a Rooster year, and their gut reaction is to say the true thing out loud. Observant, hardworking, honest, and proud of looking the part. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 7 is the seeker. Harold 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: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Harold is slow to anger and very hard to move once they are. Patience is the superpower, stubbornness its shadow. Let them set the pace and they are unstoppable in their own time.

The sky over Winston-Salem that night
Computed for 36.10°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Winston-Salem was Alkaphrah, in Ursa Major, 78.6° up.
The brightest star above the horizon was Sirius in Canis Major, and 102 catalog stars were up in all.
From 36.1°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.
Nothing below −53.9° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Winston-Salem on any night.
Sun 28° below the horizon, Moon down and 80% lit at waning gibbous.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Harold’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q377991 (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.
