Capricorn 29.1° · born January 20, 1920
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Capricorn 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 fall in cardinal signs, the widest weighting the unknown hour leaves certain. Cardinal weight opens doors — the chart of first movers and season starters.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Rimini—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 29.1° Capricorn — the third decan, 20°–30°, which the tradition sub-rules by Mercury. Degrees matter more than the sign label here: two people born a fortnight apart share Capricorn and share almost nothing else about where the Sun actually stood.

The fast planets

Mercury holds 18.6° Capricorn, Venus holds 19.1° Sagittarius, Mars holds 25.4° Libra — in the old shorthand, a mind that trusts the measured and the checked; taste that runs toward the vivid and the immediate; drive that argues its way forward.

The angles that hold

The Sun to Mars is the closest call of the day, a square within 3.7°. Nothing in a square flows; everything in it works. The old texts kept squares for the charts they respected. Behind it, Venus trine Jupiter at 4.2°, and Mars trine Uranus at 4.5° — 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.

What the angles build

Saturn 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, two sit in a sign it has an opinion about. The Moon in Capricorn at 20.4° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Libra at 25.4° is in detriment. None of these labels is a verdict on a person; they describe how a function is situated, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Of the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: 4 in earth, 3 in fire, 2 in air, 1 in water by element, 5 cardinal, 3 fixed, 2 mutable by modality. Earth signs hold the scheme’s slow end, where results are measured in what survives rather than what starts. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto 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, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Capricorn for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 12.3° 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 20.4°.
