Birth time unknown

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

The day, read honestly

The Sun stands at 2.2° Leo, in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules. 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 Columbia—a reference instant, not a birth time. No houses, rising sign, angles, or sect were computed.

Where the Sun actually stood

Leo, but precisely: 2.2°, first decan, 0°–10°, under the Sun in the triplicity scheme. The tradition kept these divisions because thirty degrees is a long street.

The fast planets

Closer in, Mercury stands at 12.6° Cancer; Venus stands at 14.1° Virgo; Mars stands at 25.7° Sagittarius. The tradition reads a mind that absorbs before it argues from Mercury, taste for the substantial and the lasting from Venus, drive that ignites on contact from Mars.

The angles that hold

The day's firmest angle joins Venus and Jupiter — a sextile holding at 0.1°. A sextile is an offer rather than a given: available when it is reached for, quiet when it is not. Behind it, Uranus square Neptune at 0.5°, and Neptune sextile Pluto at 0.6° — 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 Moon 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

The classical table has three entries for this chart. The Sun in Leo at 2.2° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Venus in Virgo at 14.1° is in fall — the tradition’s uphill placement, strength earned rather than given; Jupiter in Cancer at 14.0° is in exaltation — the tradition’s honoured-guest placement, working at its best. 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 water, 3 fire, 2 air, 1 earth; by modality, 4 cardinal, 3 fixed, 3 mutable. Water signs hold memory in the scheme, where nothing is quite finished and little is genuinely forgotten. Mars was retrograde — apparent retreat against the stars, which the old reading takes as a function working from the inside first.

The Moon, and how far it can move

The Moon stayed in Gemini for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 14.1° between midnight and midnight. The missing clock moves the Moon by half a sign at most here, and the boundary was never close. At the noon reference it stands at 8.0°.
