What the chart says
Jack, according to the stars
Core essence
Jack makes the room fairer just by being in it. The core of Jack is a feel for balance, in people, in colour, in who has not been asked their opinion yet. They are charming because they are genuinely interested, and they can see every side of a thing, which is a gift and, on a bad day, a very slow way to choose dinner.
How Jack wants to be loved
Jack 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 Jack and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Jack creates
How Jack makes things happen: they grow upward. A Yang Wood day master is the tree, the one with a direction and the patience to keep at it through a bad season. Jack builds in the open, wants to be useful, and is at their most creative when there is something to reach for. Bend rather than break is the lesson they learn a few times.
Instinct
Instinct: Jack is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Jack is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Jack 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 New Haven that night
Computed for 41.31°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
Scheat stood nearest the zenith over New Haven at 9 p.m. that evening, 75.8° above the horizon in Pegasus.
Vega was the brightest thing up that night, one of 90 catalog stars above the horizon.
From 41.3°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.
Nothing below −48.7° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from New Haven on any night.
The Moon, 85% lit at waning gibbous, was still up; the Sun sat 42° below the horizon.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Jack’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q1351968 (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.
