What the chart says
Terry, according to the stars
How Terry wants to be loved
Terry wants to be loved beautifully. Venus is at home in Libra: romance, manners, the date that was actually planned, a partner who is fair and easy to be around. Terry gives a lot of grace and needs it back. Treat them like a partner in everything, including the small choices, and they bloom.
How Terry creates
How Terry 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. Terry 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: Terry 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 Metal year sharpens it: principled, determined, clear about what is right.
Purpose
Purpose: Life Path 11 is the visionary, a master number. Terry is here to see what others cannot yet and to say it, an antenna for the mood of the moment. Intuitive, inspiring, sometimes overwhelmed by their own sensitivity, and learning to ground the vision in something real.
Triggers
Triggers: betrayal, and being handled. Mars in Scorpio means Terry 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 Minneapolis that night
Computed for 44.98°N, 9 p.m. local sky.
Mirach stood nearest the zenith over Minneapolis at 9 p.m. that evening, 80.1° above the horizon in Andromeda.
Vega was the brightest thing up that night, one of 101 catalog stars above the horizon.
At 45.0°N there are stars that never set at all. Capella and Deneb stay up year round.
The trade is at the other end of the sky: nothing south of −45.0° declination ever rises from here, which puts Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman permanently out of view.
The Moon was at last quarter, 45% lit, and already below the horizon, with the Sun 45° down.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out
Terry’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q25078 (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.
