Virgo 10.9° · born September 3, 1920
Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

Five of the ten placements whose signs are settled stand in Virgo — the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. 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 Cotabambas Auraria—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.

Where the Sun actually stood

Virgo, but precisely: 10.9°, 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 5.7° Virgo, Venus at 27.8° Virgo, Mars at 29.3° Scorpio. Mercury in a earth sign reads as a mind that trusts the measured and the checked; Venus in a earth sign reads as taste for the substantial and the lasting; Mars in a water sign reads as drive that moves on certainty and current.

The angles that hold

The day's firmest angle joins Venus and Mars — a sextile holding at 1.5°. A sextile pays out only on effort; the scheme calls it opportunity rather than gift. Behind it, Jupiter opposition Uranus at 1.8°, and the Sun sextile Pluto at 2.2° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. Each angle here was measured at every hour of the civil day and held; whatever the missing clock said, this geometry was in it.

Figures in the geometry

Jupiter opposes Uranus while both square Mars. The t-square is the figure the old texts trusted for output: friction with a fixed address. Neptune 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, five sit in a sign it has an opinion about. The Moon in Taurus at 13.9° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Mercury in Virgo at 5.7° is in exaltation; Venus in Virgo at 27.8° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Mars in Scorpio at 29.3° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Jupiter in Virgo at 1.6° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain. Condition, not character: that is all the dignity table ever measured.

The shape of the whole

The certain ground: 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, dividing 6 earth, 3 water, 1 fire by element and 6 mutable, 3 fixed, 1 cardinal by mode. An earth emphasis reads as trust in the tangible: the plan matters less than whether the thing stands up. No settled placement falls in air — an absence the tradition treats as information, not as a defect. Uranus was 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 Taurus for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.7° between midnight and midnight. The missing clock moves the Moon by half a sign at most here, and the boundary was never close. At the noon reference it stands at 13.9°.
