Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.Moon sign undetermined. The Moon crossed from Virgo into Libra during that day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
Five of the nine placements whose signs are settled stand in Pisces — the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. 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 Coxhoe Hall—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.
Where the Sun actually stood
The Sun's position resolves to 15.3° Pisces — deep enough in the second decan (10°–20°) that the Moon, its traditional sub-ruler, colours the reading.
The fast planets
Mercury holds 7.5° Pisces, Venus holds 28.5° Pisces, Mars holds 9.5° Pisces — in the old shorthand, thought steeped in tone and memory; attraction that works by atmosphere; effort that surges when it matters.
The angles that hold
Mars and Pluto hold the closest angle here — a conjunction, 1.0° wide. Two bodies in the same degree are not read as neighbours but as a merger: whatever one wants, the other is already funding. Behind it, Venus trine Neptune at 1.8°, and Mercury conjunction Mars at 2.0° — 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.
The standing structure
The Moon makes no major aspect that survives the day; the old reading gives such a planet autonomy — it acts alone, sometimes loudly.
The classical map
The oldest layer of the scheme — seven planets, four conditions — flags four placements in this chart. Mercury in Pisces at 7.5° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Venus in Pisces at 28.5° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Jupiter in Capricorn at 4.5° is in fall; Saturn in Libra at 27.8° is in exaltation. The table describes circumstance rather than quality — a planet in detriment is inconvenienced, not diminished.
The shape of the whole
The certain ground: 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, dividing 5 water, 2 air, 1 earth, 1 fire by element and 6 mutable, 3 cardinal by mode. Water signs hold memory in the scheme, where nothing is quite finished and little is genuinely forgotten. Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were retrograde — the backward drift a body appears to make as the Earth overtakes it, read in the scheme as a function that reviews before it releases.
The Moon is genuinely open
The Moon crossed from Virgo into Libra during that day at the birthplace, travelling 14.3° 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.
