What the chart says
Roy, according to the stars
Core essence
Roy 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. Roy needs newness the way other people need sleep, and gives the people around them the gift of never being bored.
The vibe
Underneath, Roy cannot fully relax while anyone in the room is unhappy. The Moon in Libra feels through harmony and hates conflict in their own house. What Roy needs to feel safe is fairness, softness and a partner in the small decisions. They are at their best when someone else picks the restaurant and they get to enjoy it.
How Roy wants to be loved
Roy 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 Roy is yours, they stay, and they expect the same.
How Roy creates
How Roy 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. Roy 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: Roy 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 Water year softens it: intuitive, adaptable, feeling their way through people.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Roy is here to go first, to start the thing, to trust their own read when nobody else has a map. Independence is the gift and the lesson: the best version of Roy leads without needing to do it alone.
Triggers
Triggers: being bored, and being talked over. Mars in Gemini fights with words and wins, then forgets it happened. Roy scatters energy across three projects at once and somehow finishes two. The trick is choosing the argument worth having.

You likely weigh most decisions but can move fast when it matters.
You likely share some feelings openly and keep others to yourself.
You likely handle some friction right away and let smaller things settle.
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 Guernsey that night
Computed for 49.45°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at Guernsey was Phecda, in Ursa Major, 84.9° up.
The brightest star above the horizon was Arcturus in Boötes, and 90 catalog stars were up in all.
Guernsey sits at 49.5°N, high enough that Capella and Deneb never set there — they circle the pole all night, every night of the year.
The trade is at the other end of the sky: nothing south of −40.5° declination ever rises from here, which puts Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman permanently out of view.
The Moon was at waxing gibbous, 84% lit, and above the horizon, with the Sun 0° down.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Roy’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q929933 (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.
