What the chart says

Woody, according to the stars

Core essence

Woody leads with the body. First in, first to speak, first to say the thing everyone was thinking, and honestly a little surprised when the room needed a second to catch up. The core of Woody is courage that does not look like courage from the inside, it just looks like Tuesday. They would rather be wrong fast than right slowly, and it is why people follow them.

The vibe

Underneath, Woody is steadier than they let on and more tender than they let on, both at once. The Moon in Capricorn feels deeply and privately, and would rather fix the problem than talk about the feeling. What Woody needs to feel safe is reliability and respect. They soften completely for the people who earn it.

How Woody wants to be loved

Woody wants to be loved tenderly. Venus in Pisces is the romantic of the zodiac: soft, giving, a little dreamy, and easily bruised. They love without keeping score and need a partner who will not take advantage of that. Be gentle with Woody, be honest, and they will make the ordinary feel enchanted.

How Woody creates

How Woody makes things happen: they refine it until it shines. A Yin Metal day master is jewellery, precise, aesthetic, particular about the finish. Woody creates by polishing, by taste, by knowing exactly which detail makes the whole thing sing. Sensitive to being handled roughly, and worth handling well.

Instinct

Instinct: Woody 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 Fire year turns the volume up: warmer, bolder, more expressive, harder to overlook.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 1 is the pioneer. Woody 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 Woody leads without needing to do it alone.

Triggers

Triggers: being told to wait. Mars in Aries means Woody gets angry fast, says it, and is over it before you have finished being hurt. The temper is honest and short. Give them a clear path and something to fight for, and all that heat turns into drive.

The sky over New Brunswick that night

Computed for 40.49°N, 9 p.m. local sky.

At 9 p.m. the star closest to straight overhead at New Brunswick was Tania Australis, in Ursa Major, 88.4° up.

Of the 103 catalog stars above the horizon, Sirius was the brightest.

New Brunswick sits at 40.5°N, low enough that no headline star is circumpolar: everything bright rises and sets there.

Nothing below −49.5° declination clears the horizon at this latitude, so Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman were never visible from New Brunswick on any night.

Sun 25° below the horizon, Moon down and 55% lit at last quarter.

Born the same day as Woody

David Letterman was born on April 12, 1947 too, the same date and the same year. The Sun sign, year animal and Life Path are shared exactly. The sky over the birthplace is not shared: from New Brunswick, at 40.5°N, nothing below −49.5° declination ever rises, which keeps Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Achernar, Hadar, Acrux, Mimosa and Toliman permanently out of sight. Same sky, different lives.

Where this comes from, and how it is worked out

Woody’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q3569866 (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.
