Taurus 2.4° · born April 22, 1724
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Aries throughout that civil day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.

The day, read honestly

The Sun and Uranus sit 0.5° from an exact opposition — near enough that the tradition reads identity and disruption as a single working part. The scheme reads an opposition as a axis to walk, not a fight to win: the chart keeps both ends lit.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Königsberg—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 2.4° Taurus. That falls in the first decan, 0°–10°, sub-ruled by Venus in the classical scheme — a earth sign read through a fixed season.

The fast planets

For the fast movers, Mercury was at 20.9° Aries, Venus was at 10.8° Gemini, Mars was at 19.1° Cancer. Read together: a mind that decides at speaking speed; taste led by wit and proportion; drive that moves on certainty and current.

The angles that hold

The day's firmest angle joins the Sun and Uranus — a opposition holding at 0.5°. Oppositions are read as full-moon geometry — maximum visibility between two needs that share one spine. Behind it, Venus trine Jupiter at 0.8°, and Mercury square Mars at 1.7° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. These angles were checked through every hour of that civil day and survive throughout, which is why an unrecorded hour does not disturb them.

What the angles build

Saturn 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

Two planets here sit in a sign the classical scheme scores. Mars in Cancer at 19.1° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Saturn in Capricorn at 10.8° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. The old table grades terrain, not talent — a placement in fall works uphill, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Balance, counted honestly across the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: elements earth 4, fire 2, air 2, water 2; modalities fixed 4, cardinal 4, mutable 2. Saturn, Uranus 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, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Aries for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 15.2° between midnight and midnight. The missing clock moves the Moon by half a sign at most here, and the boundary was never close. At the noon reference it stands at 18.9°.
