Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.Moon sign undetermined. The Moon crossed from Sagittarius into Capricorn during that day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
Tightest of all, Mars holds a sextile to Uranus at 0.6° — close enough to weld drive to disruption. The scheme reads a sextile as a door left unlocked. Useful, and entirely dependent on someone walking through it.
Positions at 12:00 civil time in Raiding—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 28.1° into Libra — the third decan, which the old scheme hands to Mercury. Same sign, different decan, different chart.
The fast planets
Mercury holds 11.6° Libra, Venus holds 0.8° Scorpio, Mars holds 17.3° Capricorn — in the old shorthand, thought that travels by comparison; attraction that works by atmosphere; effort banked steadily until it tells.
The angles that hold
Mars and Uranus hold the closest angle here — a sextile, 0.6° wide. The scheme reads a sextile as a door left unlocked. Useful, and entirely dependent on someone walking through it. Behind it, Mars sextile Pluto at 0.9°, and Uranus trine Pluto at 1.4° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. All of it stands whatever the hour was: each angle was tested from midnight to midnight before it was written down.
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
The oldest layer of the scheme — seven planets, four conditions — flags four placements in this chart. The Sun in Libra at 28.1° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Venus in Scorpio at 0.8° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Capricorn at 17.3° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Jupiter in Cancer at 6.3° 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 4 water, 2 air, 2 fire, 1 earth by element and 4 cardinal, 3 mutable, 2 fixed by mode. Water weights a chart toward the felt and the remembered — information that arrives as atmosphere before it arrives as words. Pluto was retrograde — apparent retreat against the stars, which the old reading takes as a function working from the inside first.
The Moon is genuinely open
The Moon crossed from Sagittarius into Capricorn during that day at the birthplace, travelling 13.2° 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.
