Libra 2.2° · born September 25, 1881
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

Four of the ten placements whose signs are settled stand in Taurus — Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto. The placements whose signs could change with an unknown hour are not counted. A cluster that size becomes the section the rest of the chart plays around.

Positions at 12:00 civil time in Shaoxing—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 2.2° Libra — the first decan, 0°–10°, which the tradition sub-rules by Venus. Degrees matter more than the sign label here: two people born a fortnight apart share Libra and share almost nothing else about where the Sun actually stood.

Closer to the ground

Closer in, Mercury stands at 20.3° Libra; Venus stands at 27.0° Leo; Mars stands at 0.4° Cancer. The tradition reads a mind at home in argument and pattern from Mercury, taste that runs toward the vivid and the immediate from Venus, drive that moves on certainty and current from Mars.

The angles that hold

Uranus and Neptune hold the closest angle here — a trine, 0.9° wide. The scheme reads trines as water finding its level: effortless, and invisible to the person living it. Behind it, Venus square Jupiter at 1.0°, and the Sun square Mars at 1.8° — 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.

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

The classical table has two entries for this chart. The Sun in Libra at 2.2° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Mars in Cancer at 0.4° is in fall. None of these labels is a verdict on a person; they describe how a function is situated, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Balance, counted honestly across the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: elements earth 5, air 3, fire 1, water 1; modalities fixed 5, cardinal 4, mutable 1. Earth weights a chart toward the material and the durable — what can be built, kept, and relied on. Jupiter, Saturn, 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 Libra for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 12.7° 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 21.5°.
