What the chart says
Marc, according to the stars
Core essence
Marc is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Marc is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.
The vibe
Underneath, Marc is calm in a way that steadies other people. The Moon in Taurus wants comfort that can be touched: the same mug, the same song, the friend who does not need explaining to. What Marc needs to feel safe is consistency. Show up the same way twice and you are in.
How Marc wants to be loved
Marc wants to be loved by someone who is also their favourite travel companion. Venus in Sagittarius needs laughter, honesty and a long leash, and gives the same. Possessiveness kills it; adventure feeds it. Go somewhere new with Marc and watch them fall for you again.
How Marc creates
How Marc makes things happen: they keep moving. A Yang Water day master is the river, curious, restless, going somewhere even when nobody knows where. Marc creates by exploring, by talking to everyone, by carrying ideas from one place to another. Hard to pin down, impossible to dam, and the best person to have on a long trip.
Instinct
Instinct: Marc is warm and generous, a Pig year, and their gut reaction is to trust. Big-hearted, fun, sincere, a lover of good things, and deserving of people who are as honest as they are. The Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Marc 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: being rushed, and being pushed. Mars in Taurus means Marc 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 Pittsburgh that night
Computed for 40.44°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Pittsburgh was Capella, in Auriga, 84.4° up.
Sirius was the brightest thing up that night, one of 108 catalog stars above the horizon.
From 40.4°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.
Nothing below −49.6° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Pittsburgh on any night.
Sun 39° below the horizon, Moon up and 58% lit at first quarter.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Marc’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q708343 (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.
