Cancer 11.1° · born July 3, 1854
Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

Across the ten placements whose signs are settled, mutable leads with four. The mutable signs sit where one season is already becoming the next — the scheme’s translators.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Hukvaldy—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.

Where the Sun actually stood

Measured rather than labelled, the Sun holds 11.1° Cancer: the second decan, whose classical sub-ruler is Mars. A water sign, read here in its second face.

The fast planets

Closer in, Mercury stands at 7.1° Leo; Venus stands at 1.7° Gemini; Mars stands at 26.9° Virgo. The tradition reads a mind that decides at speaking speed from Mercury, taste led by wit and proportion from Venus, drive that grinds rather than flares from Mars.

The angles that hold

The tightest geometry in the chart puts Uranus a sixth of the circle apart from Neptune, 0.2° off exact. A sixth of the circle is close enough for cooperation and far enough that it stays optional. Behind it, Mars trine Jupiter at 2.7°, and Mercury sextile Saturn at 2.8° — 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

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

Of the seven planets the classical scheme judges, one sits in a sign it has an opinion about. Jupiter in Capricorn at 24.1° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given. Condition, not character: that is all the dignity table ever measured.

The shape of the whole

The honest balance sheet uses the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: earth 4, air 3, water 2, fire 1 across the elements, and mutable 4, cardinal 3, fixed 3 across the modalities. Earth weights a chart toward the material and the durable — what can be built, kept, and relied on. Jupiter and Neptune 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 Libra for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.0° between midnight and midnight. Whatever the unrecorded hour was, it happened inside one Moon sign — the degree floats, the sign holds. At the noon reference it stands at 10.2°.
