Virgo 11.8° · born September 4, 1824
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.Moon sign undetermined. The Moon crossed from Capricorn into Aquarius during that day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.

The day, read honestly

The chart's headline is a trine: the Sun and Uranus within 0.1°, identity wired to disruption. A third of the circle is the tradition’s friendliest distance — same element, shared assumptions, no translation required.

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

Where the Sun actually stood

Measured rather than labelled, the Sun holds 11.8° Virgo: the second decan, whose classical sub-ruler is Saturn. A earth sign, read here in its second face.

Closer to the ground

Closer in, Mercury stands at 8.5° Libra; Venus stands at 21.9° Virgo; Mars stands at 17.4° Scorpio. The tradition reads a mind at home in argument and pattern from Mercury, taste for the substantial and the lasting from Venus, drive that moves on certainty and current from Mars.

The angles that hold

Closest first: the Sun to Uranus, a trine with 0.1° of slack. The scheme reads trines as water finding its level: effortless, and invisible to the person living it. Behind it, Mercury trine Saturn at 0.9°, and Jupiter trine Pluto at 1.1° — 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.

Figures in the geometry

Mercury opposes Pluto while both square Neptune. Two squares braced against one opposition make a t-square — the chart’s working end, where pressure keeps finding the same outlet. 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

Of the seven planets the classical scheme judges, two sit in a sign it has an opinion about. Venus in Virgo at 21.9° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Mars in Scorpio at 17.4° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. None of these labels is a verdict on a person; they describe how a function is situated, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Among the 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the elements divide 4 earth, 2 air, 2 fire, 1 water; by modality, 4 cardinal, 3 mutable, 2 fixed. Earth weights a chart toward the material and the durable — what can be built, kept, and relied on. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde — motion that reverses only from this vantage point, and which the old reading treats as delay used for revision.

The Moon is genuinely open

The Moon crossed from Capricorn into Aquarius during that day at the birthplace, travelling 11.9° between one midnight and the next. Without a recorded hour there is no honest way to say which side it was on, so this reading does not say. The Moon sign is a real question here, not a rounding error, and it needs a birth time nobody has published.
