Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Pisces throughout that civil day. Mars crossed from Scorpio into Sagittarius during that day, so its sign is left open. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
Tightest of all, the Sun holds a square to Saturn at 0.3° — close enough to weld identity to structure. A square is friction that produces motion — the aspect the tradition credits with building capability precisely by refusing to be comfortable.
Positions at 12:00 civil time in Nuoro—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 3.9° into Libra — the first decan, which the old scheme hands to Venus. Same sign, different decan, different chart.
Closer to the ground
The personal planets sit Mercury at 18.5° Virgo, Venus at 2.3° Libra. Mercury in a earth sign reads as thought with its feet on the ground; Venus in a air sign reads as attraction that begins as conversation.
The angles that hold
Nothing in the geometry sits closer than the Sun and Saturn: 0.3° from an exact square. Right angles are where the scheme puts its grit. A square asks two functions to work in a mode neither would have chosen. Behind it, Mars trine Uranus at 0.4°, and Mercury trine Pluto at 1.2° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. The unknown hour cannot unmake any of this: every aspect named survived all twenty-five samples of the day.
Figures in the geometry
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
Read against the old dignities, five placements stand out. The Sun in Libra at 3.9° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Mercury in Virgo at 18.5° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Venus in Libra at 2.3° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Jupiter in Cancer at 26.1° is in exaltation; Saturn in Capricorn at 3.6° is in domicile. Dignity is a statement about conditions, not about worth.
The shape of the whole
Balance, counted honestly across the 9 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: elements earth 3, air 2, water 2, fire 2; modalities cardinal 5, mutable 2, fixed 2. An earth emphasis reads as patience with material reality — slow hands, durable results. Mars crossed from Scorpio into Sagittarius during that day, so its sign is left open. Venus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde — apparent backward motion from where the Earth sits, which the tradition reads as a function turned inward before it is turned out.
The Moon, and how far it can move
The Moon stayed in Pisces for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.5° between midnight and midnight. Fast enough that its degree is approximate, slow enough that its sign is not in doubt. At the noon reference it stands at 18.1°.
