What the chart says
Miles, according to the stars
Core essence
Miles is two conversations at once and somehow following both. Curiosity is the core of it: the quick question, the sideways joke, the friend who texts you an article at midnight because it reminded them of you. Miles needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Miles feels more than they will ever show, and shows it to about three people. The Moon in Scorpio is deep water: loyal, private, slow to trust and impossible to fool. What Miles needs to feel safe is total honesty and the sense that a secret told stays told. Betray that once and it is a long way back.
How Miles wants to be loved
Miles 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 Miles creates
How Miles makes things happen: they find the gap and grow through it. A Yin Wood day master is the vine, flexible, quietly relentless, better at working around a wall than at knocking it down. Miles creates by adapting, by connecting people, by making the awkward thing fit. Underestimate them and you will look up one day to find them everywhere.
Instinct
Instinct: Miles is bold, a Tiger year, and their gut reaction is to leap. Brave, generous, a bit dramatic, magnetic to be around, and never boring for a second. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 22 is the master builder. Miles is here to turn a big vision into something that actually stands, at a scale most people would not attempt. Practical and visionary at once, patient, and learning that even the largest things are built one day at a time.
Triggers
Triggers: cruelty, and being cornered. Mars in Pisces does not fight straight; Miles slips away, absorbs it, or turns it into something creative instead. Anger becomes art or empathy. The lesson is learning that they are allowed to take up space and say the hard thing.

The sky over Alton that night
Computed for 38.90°N, at the documented birth time.
Sadr stood nearest the zenith over Alton at the birth hour, 88.2° above the horizon in Cygnus.
Arcturus was the brightest thing up that night, one of 88 catalog stars above the horizon.
From 38.9°N not one of the brightest stars stays permanently above the horizon — all of them rise and set.
Nothing below −51.1° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Alton on any night.
The Moon, 99% lit at full moon, was still up; the Sun sat 7° below the horizon.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Miles’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q93341 (CC0), as do the occupations, works and awards above. The birth time is rated AA on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is: from a birth certificate, birth record or family bible, the most reliable class. From Astro-Databank (Rodden AA). 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, angularity, aspect count — so other methods can name a different leader.
