Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Leo throughout that civil day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
The Sun stands at 19.3° Aries, 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 Pedreña—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.
Where the Sun actually stood
19.3° of Aries is the Sun's exact seat — second decan, 10°–20°, sub-ruled by the Sun in the old triplicity scheme. The degree is the address; the sign is only the street.
The fast planets
Day to day the chart speaks through Mercury in Taurus (7.4°), Venus in Aries (18.0°), Mars in Gemini (14.2°): thought with its feet on the ground, attraction declared rather than implied, effort aimed through strategy and words.
The angles that hold
The day's firmest angle joins Mars and Saturn — a opposition holding at 0.1°. An opposition is the tradition’s tug of war. Both ends are real, and the work is holding them at once rather than picking a winner. Behind it, Uranus square Neptune at 1.3°, and the Sun conjunction Venus at 1.3° — 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.
What the angles build
Mercury opposes Neptune while both square Uranus. Two squares braced against one opposition make a t-square — the chart’s working end, where pressure keeps finding the same outlet. The Moon makes no major aspect that survives the day; the old reading gives such a planet autonomy — it acts alone, sometimes loudly.
The classical map
The dignity table, which predates the outer planets and only ever spoke for seven, marks three placements here. The Sun in Aries at 19.3° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Venus in Aries at 18.0° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Jupiter in Virgo at 24.1° is in detriment. None of this ranks anyone; dignity describes footing, and footing can be worked with.
The shape of the whole
The certain ground: 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, dividing 6 fire, 2 earth, 1 air, 1 water by element and 5 fixed, 3 mutable, 2 cardinal by mode. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde — the optical reversal the tradition reads as review — energy turned over before it is turned out.
The Moon, and how far it can move
The Moon stayed in Leo for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 14.4° 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 10.5°.
