Virgo 12.2° · born September 5, 1946
Birth time unknown

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

Four of the nine placements whose signs are settled stand in Libra — Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. 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 Zanzibar City—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.

Where the Sun actually stood

Virgo, but precisely: 12.2°, second decan, 10°–20°, under Saturn in the triplicity scheme. The tradition kept these divisions because thirty degrees is a long street.

Closer to the ground

Day to day the chart speaks through Mercury in Virgo (3.2°), Venus in Libra (28.4°), Mars in Libra (17.2°): a mind that trusts the measured and the checked, taste led by wit and proportion, drive that argues its way forward.

The angles that hold

Venus and Jupiter hold the closest angle here — a conjunction, 2.3° wide. A conjunction concentrates rather than balances — the pair burns one fuel line. Behind it, Saturn sextile Neptune at 3.3°, and Mars trine Uranus at 4.4° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. These are the day-proof angles — present at midnight, present at noon, present at the next midnight.

What the angles build

Pluto 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, four sit in a sign it has an opinion about. Mercury in Virgo at 3.2° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Venus in Libra at 28.4° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Mars in Libra at 17.2° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Saturn in Leo at 4.1° is in detriment. The old table grades terrain, not talent — a placement in fall works uphill, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

The honest balance sheet uses the 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: air 5, earth 2, fire 2 across the elements, and cardinal 4, mutable 3, fixed 2 across the modalities. No settled placement falls in water — an absence the tradition treats as information, not as a defect. Nothing was retrograde that day, which is less common than it sounds.

The Moon is genuinely open

The Moon crossed from Sagittarius into Capricorn during that day at the birthplace, travelling 11.9° 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.
