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 26.1° 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 Saumur—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 26.1° Leo, inside the third decan (20°–30°), whose traditional sub-ruler is Mars. 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
Closer in, Mercury stands at 14.6° Virgo; Venus stands at 17.3° Leo; Mars stands at 27.0° Gemini. The tradition reads thought with its feet on the ground from Mercury, attraction declared rather than implied from Venus, effort aimed through strategy and words from Mars.
The angles that hold
The Sun and Mars hold the closest angle here — a sextile, 0.9° wide. A sixth of the circle is close enough for cooperation and far enough that it stays optional. Behind it, Uranus trine Neptune at 0.9°, and Jupiter sextile Uranus at 1.0° — 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
No closed figure — no grand trine, t-square, or grand cross — holds among the day-stable angles. The chart distributes its tension pair by pair rather than through one standing structure.
The classical map
Read against the old dignities, three placements stand out. The Sun in Leo at 26.1° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Mercury in Virgo at 14.6° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Jupiter in Cancer at 23.0° is in exaltation. The table describes circumstance rather than quality — a planet in detriment is inconvenienced, not diminished.
The shape of the whole
Among the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the elements divide 3 earth, 3 air, 2 fire, 2 water; by modality, 6 mutable, 3 fixed, 1 cardinal. Earth counts what remains: the built, the kept, the finished. Promise weighs less than delivery. Not one planet was retrograde, so the whole chart reads in direct motion.
The Moon, and how far it can move
The Moon stayed in Pisces for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 14.5° between midnight and midnight. The sign survives the missing hour; the degree does not, and is given as a reference rather than a fact. At the noon reference it stands at 9.0°.
