Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.Moon sign undetermined. The Moon crossed from Leo into Virgo during that day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
Tightest of all, Mercury holds a conjunction to Jupiter at 0.0° — close enough to weld thinking to expansion. A conjunction is the least negotiable aspect in the scheme — no distance to argue across, so the pair arrives as a single instinct.
Positions at 12:00 civil time in Kopřivnice—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.
Where the Sun actually stood
At the noon reference the Sun sits 25.7° into Virgo — the third decan, which the old scheme hands to Venus. Same sign, different decan, different chart.
Closer to the ground
Closer in, Mercury stands at 22.0° Libra; Venus stands at 12.0° Scorpio; Mars stands at 3.3° Capricorn. The tradition reads thought that travels by comparison from Mercury, attraction that works by atmosphere from Venus, effort banked steadily until it tells from Mars.
The angles that hold
The tightest geometry in the chart puts Mercury in the same degree of the zodiac from Jupiter, 0.0° off exact. A conjunction is the least negotiable aspect in the scheme — no distance to argue across, so the pair arrives as a single instinct. Behind it, Uranus trine Pluto at 0.1°, and Venus trine Pluto at 0.9° — 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.
Figures in the geometry
Venus, Uranus, Pluto close a triangle of trines. Three trines close into a circuit the tradition calls a grand trine — ease so complete it can idle unnoticed for years. 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 dignity table, which predates the outer planets and only ever spoke for seven, marks three placements here. Venus in Scorpio at 12.0° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Capricorn at 3.3° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Saturn in Libra at 8.8° is in exaltation. Dignity is a statement about conditions, not about worth.
The shape of the whole
Counting only the 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the chart runs 3 air, 3 water, 2 earth, 1 fire by element and 5 cardinal, 2 mutable, 2 fixed by modality. Air runs on comparison and connection — the pattern noticed first, the feeling filed second. Uranus was retrograde — apparent backward motion from where the Earth sits, which the tradition reads as a function turned inward before it is turned out.
The Moon is genuinely open
The Moon crossed from Leo into Virgo during that day at the birthplace, travelling 15.0° between one midnight and the next. Half the day belongs to each sign, and the split falls at an unrecorded hour — so this page holds the Moon as a genuine unknown.
