Leo 13.9° · born August 6, 1928
Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

Four of the ten placements whose signs are settled stand in Leo — the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune. The placements whose signs could change with an unknown hour are not counted. A cluster that size becomes the section the rest of the chart plays around.

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

Where the Sun actually stood

At noon on that date the Sun stood at 13.9° Leo, inside the second decan (10°–20°), whose traditional sub-ruler is Jupiter. The decan is the older, finer division — it is what the sign looks like once you stop rounding it to thirty degrees.

The fast planets

For the fast movers, Mercury was at 3.6° Leo, Venus was at 23.9° Leo, Mars was at 28.4° Taurus. Read together: thought that arrives already in motion; attraction declared rather than implied; effort banked steadily until it tells.

The angles that hold

Start where the chart is tightest — Mars square Neptune, 0.0° of separation. Nothing in a square flows; everything in it works. The old texts kept squares for the charts they respected. Behind it, the Sun trine Saturn at 1.3°, and Mercury trine Uranus at 3.5° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. The unknown hour cannot unmake any of this: every aspect named survived all twenty-five samples of the day.

What the angles build

the Sun, Saturn, Uranus close a triangle of trines. A grand trine is read as self-sufficiency in one element: the current circulates whether or not anything is asked of it.

The classical map

Read against the old dignities, two placements stand out. The Sun in Leo at 13.9° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Mars in Taurus at 28.4° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain. None of this ranks anyone; dignity describes footing, and footing can be worked with.

The shape of the whole

Counting only the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the chart runs 7 fire, 2 earth, 1 water by element and 6 fixed, 3 cardinal, 1 mutable by modality. No settled placement falls in air — an absence the tradition treats as information, not as a defect. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde — apparent retreat against the stars, which the old reading takes as a function working from the inside first.

The Moon, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Aries for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.9° 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 17.0°.
