What the chart says
Thomas, according to the stars
Core essence
Thomas notices. That is the whole thing: the detail everyone else walked past, the small fix that makes the day work, the way you looked slightly off when you said you were fine. The core of Thomas is devotion expressed as usefulness. They love by improving things, and they are far kinder to other people than to themselves.
How Thomas wants to be loved
Thomas wants to be loved out loud. Venus in Leo is warm, generous and a little theatrical, and it wants a partner who is proud to be seen with them. Praise is oxygen, loyalty is the deal. Adore Thomas openly and they will make you feel like the only person in every room.
How Thomas creates
How Thomas makes things happen: they hold the flame steady. A Yin Fire day master is the candle, the lamp, the light that is close and personal rather than blazing. Thomas creates intimacy, one room, one conversation, one person made to feel seen. Moody when the fuel runs low, magnetic when it does not.
Instinct
Instinct: Thomas 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 7 is the seeker. Thomas is here to understand, to go deep rather than wide, to keep a private inner world that most people never see. Thoughtful, intuitive, happiest with time alone, and learning to let the right people in.
Triggers
Triggers: sloppiness, and being told they are overthinking it. Mars in Virgo means Thomas channels energy into fixing, sorting, getting it right, and gets sharp when others do not care. The critic turns inward first. Give them a problem worth solving and watch them come alive.

Three stars chosen from the real sky above Corinth on the night they were born. Choose the story that connects you.
No public birth time is available, so this is a 9:00 p.m. reference evening sky for that date and place. It is connected to the night of birth; it is not the sky at the birth minute, and no other reading on this page uses that time. Dedications are commemorative AsterNym records and do not rename or confer ownership of stars.
Virgo Sun
Virgo SunOrder first. Then rest, in theory.
Thomas K. McCraw's Sun was in Virgo for the whole of September 11, 1940, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Virgo readings associate the sign with precision, service and improvement: noticing what is off and quietly putting it right. Astrologers describe it as the mutable earth sign, ruled by Mercury, and read it for craft and analysis. The corresponding tension is perfectionism, described in the tradition as a standard applied hardest to the self.
Metal Dragon
Metal DragonAmbition with charisma attached.
Thomas K. McCraw was born on September 11, 1940, which falls in a Metal Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.
Life Path 7
Life Path 7Asks the better question.
Thomas K. McCraw's birth date, September 11, 1940, reduces to Life Path 7 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 7 readings associate the number with inquiry, analysis and solitude: the need to understand what others simply accept. Numerologists describe it as the path of the seeker, reflective and private. The corresponding tension is withdrawal, with the caution that a mind at home in its own company can forget to come out.

Reference chart · birth time unknown
No documented birth time exists for Thomas K. McCraw, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 17° to 0° Capricorn or Aquarius depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.
No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Thomas’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith
Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.
⚷ ChironCancer 28°36′ (moves 0.09° over the day)
centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it
Chiron in Cancer is read as a wound around belonging and being looked after. Thomas is read as someone who learnt to make a home for others before finding one.
⚳ CeresLibra 19°20′ (moves 0.43° over the day)
dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured
Ceres in Libra is read as nurture through fairness and company. Thomas is read as someone who feeds others by keeping the peace and the balance.
♡ ErosSagittarius 23°47′ (moves 0.34° over the day)
near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire
Eros in Sagittarius is read as desire for the far-off and the free. The reading has Thomas attracted to people who open a door rather than close one.
⚕ Hygiea ℞Aries 0°22′ (moves 0.19° over the day)
main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well
Hygiea in Aries is read as health kept through action and short bursts. The reading has Thomas feeling well when moving and poorly when made to wait.
⚸ Black Moon LilithAries 10°16′ (moves 0.11° over the day)
mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed
Black Moon Lilith in Aries is read as the refusal to be second. The modern reading has Thomas carrying an anger that is cleaner than it looks and a need to act on it.
Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith
Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.
- Eros square Neptune 1.2°
- Eros square Mercury 1.3°
- Chiron sextile Uranus 2.5°
- Hygiea trine Venus 2.6°
Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).
Thomas’s dominant planets
Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.
1. ☿ Mercury12 pts
rules the Sun sign, Virgo; in its own sign, Virgo; disposes Sun, Mars, Neptune; 4 major aspects
2. ☉ Sun7 pts
disposes Venus, Pluto; 5 major aspects
3. ♀ Venus4 pts
disposes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus; 1 major aspect
A Mercury-led chart is read as the mind in charge: Thomas is read as thinking, talking and connecting their way through life.
How the score is built
- Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
- Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
- Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
- Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
- Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.
Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.
Configurations in Thomas’s chart
Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.
Stellium in Virgo · Sun, Mercury, Mars, NeptuneThree or more planets in one sign (four, or three with a luminary, by AsterNym's count): a concentration astrologers read as that sign's themes dominating the chart.
Minor aspects
semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.
- Sun semi-square Pluto 0.1°
- Sun semi-square Venus 0.8°
Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Thomas K. McCraw, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Where this data comes from
Thomas’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3990670, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
