Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Scorpio throughout that civil day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
The Sun stands at 19.4° Aries, in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best. Of everything the chart can be read for without a birth time, that is the loudest single fact in it.
Positions at 12:00 civil time in Acre—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.
Where the Sun actually stood
The Sun's exact place is 19.4° Aries. That falls in the second decan, 10°–20°, sub-ruled by the Sun in the classical scheme — a fire sign read through a cardinal season.
The personal registers
For the fast movers, Mercury was at 18.1° Aries, Venus was at 28.0° Pisces, Mars was at 5.5° Taurus. Read together: a mind that decides at speaking speed; taste tuned to mood and undertow; drive that grinds rather than flares.
The angles that hold
Mars to Uranus is the closest call of the day, a conjunction within 1.0°. Two bodies in the same degree are not read as neighbours but as a merger: whatever one wants, the other is already funding. Behind it, the Sun conjunction Mercury at 1.2°, and Saturn opposition Neptune at 2.7° — 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.
The standing structure
The day-stable angles form no closed figure. Nothing funnels; each aspect is its own negotiation, which the tradition reads as a chart of separate treaties rather than one campaign.
The classical map
Five planets here sit in a sign the classical scheme scores. The Sun in Aries at 19.4° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; the Moon in Scorpio at 16.4° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Venus in Pisces at 28.0° is in exaltation; Mars in Taurus at 5.5° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Jupiter in Sagittarius at 24.4° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. Condition, not character: that is all the dignity table ever measured.
The shape of the whole
Balance, counted honestly across the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: elements water 4, fire 3, earth 3; modalities mutable 4, cardinal 3, fixed 3. Water reads the room before the room speaks — atmosphere first, analysis later. No settled placement falls in air — an absence the tradition treats as information, not as a defect. Neptune was retrograde — the optical reversal the tradition reads as review — energy turned over before it is turned out.
The Moon, and how far it can move
The Moon stayed in Scorpio for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 12.0° 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 16.4°.
