Sagittarius 4.8° · born November 27, 1886
Birth time unknown

Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Sagittarius 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 Sagittarius — the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Venus. 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 Shin-ogawamachi—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 4.8° Sagittarius — the first decan, 0°–10°, which the tradition sub-rules by Jupiter. Degrees matter more than the sign label here: two people born a fortnight apart share Sagittarius and share almost nothing else about where the Sun actually stood.

The personal registers

Mercury holds 18.4° Sagittarius, Venus holds 3.3° Sagittarius, Mars holds 8.8° Capricorn — in the old shorthand, a mind that decides at speaking speed; taste that runs toward the vivid and the immediate; drive that grinds rather than flares.

The angles that hold

Venus and Pluto hold the closest angle here — a opposition, 0.3° wide. The scheme reads an opposition as a axis to walk, not a fight to win: the chart keeps both ends lit. Behind it, the Sun conjunction Venus at 1.5°, and the Sun opposition Pluto at 1.8° — 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.

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 three entries for this chart. Mercury in Sagittarius at 18.4° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain; Mars in Capricorn at 8.8° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best; Saturn in Cancer at 22.0° is in detriment. The old table grades terrain, not talent — a placement in fall works uphill, nothing more.

The shape of the whole

Of the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day: 4 in fire, 3 in air, 2 in earth, 1 in water by element, 5 mutable, 4 cardinal, 1 fixed by modality. Fire weights a chart toward initiative — starting, asserting, spending energy to find out what happens. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune 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 Sagittarius for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 13.3° 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 21.2°.
