Scorpio 1.2° · born October 25, 1811
Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

Water dominates the certain ground here, taking five of the ten placements whose signs are settled. Water reads the room before the room speaks — atmosphere first, analysis later.

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

Where the Sun actually stood

The Sun sits at 1.2° Scorpio — the first decan, 0°–10°, which the tradition sub-rules by Mars. Degrees matter more than the sign label here: two people born a fortnight apart share Scorpio and share almost nothing else about where the Sun actually stood.

The fast planets

The personal planets sit Mercury at 16.1° Libra, Venus at 4.6° Scorpio, Mars at 19.5° Capricorn. Mercury in a air sign reads as a mind at home in argument and pattern; Venus in a water sign reads as taste tuned to mood and undertow; Mars in a earth sign reads as drive that grinds rather than flares.

The angles that hold

Mars to Uranus is the closest call of the day, a sextile within 1.4°. A sixth of the circle is close enough for cooperation and far enough that it stays optional. Behind it, Uranus trine Pluto at 1.6°, and Venus trine Jupiter at 1.7° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. These angles were checked through every hour of that civil day and survive throughout, which is why an unrecorded hour does not disturb them.

The standing structure

The Moon 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

Three planets here sit in a sign the classical scheme scores. Venus in Scorpio at 4.6° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Capricorn at 19.5° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Jupiter in Cancer at 6.3° is in exaltation. None of these labels is a verdict on a person; they describe how a function is situated, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Among the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the elements divide 5 water, 2 air, 2 fire, 1 earth; by modality, 4 fixed, 3 cardinal, 3 mutable. Pluto was retrograde. Jupiter changed direction during the day, so its motion is left open.

The Moon, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Aquarius for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.9° 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 7.0°.
