What sets Richard apart
Benedict Cumberbatch (1976) and Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (1921) share the birthday in another year, so the sun sits where it sits here.
What the chart says
Richard, according to the stars
Core essence
Richard feels the room before entering it. The core of Richard is care, the practical kind that remembers what you said in March and has already made the tea. They protect their people with a fierceness that surprises anyone who only knew the soft exterior. Home is not a place for Richard, it is whoever they have decided to keep.
How Richard wants to be loved
Richard 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 Richard and they will quietly make your whole life run better.
How Richard creates
How Richard 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. Richard 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: Richard is gentle and diplomatic, a Rabbit year, and their gut reaction is to keep the peace and read the room. Graceful, kind, quietly discerning, and much tougher than the soft manners suggest. The Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 9 is the humanitarian. Richard is here for the bigger picture, to give, to finish what others started and hand it on. Wise beyond their years, compassionate, a little world-weary, and learning to receive as freely as they give.
Triggers
Triggers: being ignored, or being made small. Mars in Leo means Richard fights with pride and flair and needs the win to be seen. Generous in victory, dramatic in defeat, and never, ever petty for long. Give them the stage and the fire becomes warmth.

Where Richard sits
Six lines
Richard’s dot comes from the chart; yours is where you put it.
You may run on a few close bonds rather than a crowd. Depth is your default.
You likely weigh most decisions but can move fast when it matters.
You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.
You may need space before addressing conflict. Cooling off comes first.
You may be drawn to big possibilities. The practical follows after the vision.
You likely warm up at a pace that depends on the person and moment.

The sky over Portland that night
Computed for 45.52°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
Overhead at Portland at 9 p.m. that evening: Rastaban of Draco, within 10.9° of the exact zenith.
The brightest star above the horizon was Arcturus in Boötes, and 87 catalog stars were up in all.
Portland sits at 45.5°N, high enough that Capella and Deneb never set there — they circle the pole all night, every night of the year.
Nothing below −44.5° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from Portland on any night.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Richard’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3430739 (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.
