Scorpio 22.1° · born November 14, 1891
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.Moon sign undetermined. The Moon crossed from Aries into Taurus during that day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.

The day, read honestly

Mutable signs carry six of the nine placements whose signs are settled — the broadest certain weighting in the chart. The mutable signs sit where one season is already becoming the next — the scheme’s translators.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Alliston—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 22.1° Scorpio — the third decan, 20°–30°, which the tradition sub-rules by the Moon. 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

Closer in, Mercury stands at 2.2° Sagittarius; Venus stands at 6.7° Sagittarius; Mars stands at 15.1° Libra. The tradition reads a mind that decides at speaking speed from Mercury, taste that runs toward the vivid and the immediate from Venus, drive that argues its way forward from Mars.

The angles that hold

Neptune to Pluto is the closest call of the day, a conjunction within 0.1°. When two functions occupy one degree, the tradition reads a fusion: neither can act without committing the other. Behind it, Jupiter square Pluto at 0.2°, and Jupiter square Neptune at 0.3° — 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

Mercury opposes Neptune while both square Jupiter. A t-square aims the whole axis at its apex planet; the tradition reads it as the chart’s standing assignment. The Sun 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

The classical table has three entries for this chart. Mercury in Sagittarius at 2.2° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Libra at 15.1° is in detriment; Jupiter in Pisces at 8.3° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. None of these labels is a verdict on a person; they describe how a function is situated, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Counting only the 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the chart runs 3 water, 3 air, 2 fire, 1 earth by element and 6 mutable, 2 fixed, 1 cardinal by modality. Water weights a chart toward the felt and the remembered — information that arrives as atmosphere before it arrives as words. Neptune and Pluto were retrograde — motion that reverses only from this vantage point, and which the old reading treats as delay used for revision.

The Moon is genuinely open

The Moon crossed from Aries into Taurus during that day at the birthplace, travelling 14.8° 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.
