Taurus 6.9° · born April 27, 1759
Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

The Moon stands at 13.8° Taurus, 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 Spitalfields—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 6.9° 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 personal registers

Mercury holds 27.2° Taurus, Venus holds 2.4° Gemini, Mars holds 22.6° Aries — in the old shorthand, a mind that trusts the measured and the checked; taste led by wit and proportion; drive that ignites on contact.

The angles that hold

Nothing in the geometry sits closer than Mars and Jupiter: 0.4° from an exact square. A square is the tradition’s engine room: two drives at cross purposes, and the friction is the horsepower. Behind it, Mercury sextile Uranus at 2.1°, and Mars trine Pluto at 2.4° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. Each angle here was measured at every hour of the civil day and held; whatever the missing clock said, this geometry was in it.

What the angles build

The Sun 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

Three planets here sit in a sign the classical scheme scores. The Moon in Taurus at 13.8° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Mars in Aries at 22.6° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Jupiter in Capricorn at 22.2° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given. The old table grades terrain, not talent — a placement in fall works uphill, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Among the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the elements divide 4 earth, 3 fire, 2 water, 1 air; by modality, 4 fixed, 4 mutable, 2 cardinal. Earth weights a chart toward the material and the durable — what can be built, kept, and relied on. Pluto was 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 Taurus for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 15.0° 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 13.8°.
