Virgo 19.5° · born September 12, 1924
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Pisces throughout that civil day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.

The day, read honestly

The Sun and Uranus sit 0.1° from an exact opposition — near enough that the tradition reads identity and disruption as a single working part. An opposition is the tradition’s tug of war. Both ends are real, and the work is holding them at once rather than picking a winner.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Bafatá—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.

Where the Sun actually stood

Virgo, but precisely: 19.5°, second decan, 10°–20°, under Saturn in the triplicity scheme. The tradition kept these divisions because thirty degrees is a long street.

The personal registers

The personal planets sit Mercury at 17.5° Virgo, Venus at 3.5° Leo, Mars at 26.0° Aquarius. Mercury in a earth sign reads as a mind that trusts the measured and the checked; Venus in a fire sign reads as taste that runs toward the vivid and the immediate; Mars in a air sign reads as drive that argues its way forward.

The angles that hold

The Sun to Uranus is the closest call of the day, a opposition within 0.1°. Oppositions are read as full-moon geometry — maximum visibility between two needs that share one spine. Behind it, the Sun conjunction Mercury at 2.0°, and Mercury opposition Uranus at 2.0° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. These are the day-proof angles — present at midnight, present at noon, present at the next midnight.

The standing structure

The Moon stands apart from every major angle the day held — the tradition reads an unaspected planet as a voice that speaks on its own schedule, unmodulated by the rest of the chart.

The classical map

The classical table has three entries for this chart. Mercury in Virgo at 17.5° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Jupiter in Sagittarius at 12.0° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Saturn in Libra at 29.9° is in exaltation. The old table grades terrain, not talent — a placement in fall works uphill, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Balance, counted honestly across the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: elements water 3, fire 3, earth 2, air 2; modalities mutable 5, fixed 3, cardinal 2. Mercury, Mars and Uranus were retrograde — the optical reversal the tradition reads as review — energy turned over before it is turned out.

The Moon, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Pisces for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.6° between midnight and midnight. Fast enough that its degree is approximate, slow enough that its sign is not in doubt. At the noon reference it stands at 10.1°.
