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 stands at 18.9° Leo, in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. Of everything the chart can be read for without a birth time, that is the loudest single fact in it.

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

Where the Sun actually stood

The Sun's exact place is 18.9° Leo. That falls in the second decan, 10°–20°, sub-ruled by Jupiter in the classical scheme — a fire sign read through a fixed season.

Closer to the ground

For the fast movers, Mercury was at 16.3° Virgo, Venus was at 26.7° Virgo, Mars was at 17.6° Taurus. Read together: a mind that trusts the measured and the checked; taste for the substantial and the lasting; drive that grinds rather than flares.

The angles that hold

Venus to Uranus is the closest call of the day, a trine within 0.2°. A third of the circle is the tradition’s friendliest distance — same element, shared assumptions, no translation required. Behind it, the Sun square Saturn at 0.9°, and Mercury trine Mars at 1.3° — 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

Jupiter 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 four entries for this chart. The Sun in Leo at 18.9° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Mercury in Virgo at 16.3° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Venus in Virgo at 26.7° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Mars in Taurus at 17.6° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain. 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 earth 5, water 3, fire 1, air 1; modalities fixed 4, mutable 4, cardinal 2. Earth weights a chart toward the material and the durable — what can be built, kept, and relied on. Uranus was 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 12.9° between midnight and midnight. That is quick enough to make the exact degree a neighbourhood rather than an address, and slow enough to leave the sign settled. At the noon reference it stands at 20.0°.
