Birth date sourced. Birth time unknown.The Moon remained in Cancer throughout that civil day. Everything below uses only what the complete civil day settles.
The day, read honestly
The Moon stands at 7.4° Cancer, 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 Baghdad—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 7.4° Scorpio. That falls in the first decan, 0°–10°, sub-ruled by Mars in the classical scheme — a water sign read through a fixed season.
The angles that hold
The Sun and Mercury hold the closest angle here — a conjunction, 0.8° wide. A conjunction is the least negotiable aspect in the scheme — no distance to argue across, so the pair arrives as a single instinct. Behind it, Neptune sextile Pluto at 1.9°, and the Sun trine Uranus at 2.0° — both still well inside the orbs this site uses. These angles were checked through every hour of that civil day and survive throughout, which is why an unrecorded hour does not disturb them.
The classical map
The dignity table, which predates the outer planets and only ever spoke for seven, marks two placements here. The Moon in Cancer at 7.4° is in domicile — the planet in its own sign, running on home rules; Venus in Scorpio at 3.9° is in detriment — the planet opposite its home, working against the grain. The table describes circumstance rather than quality — a planet in detriment is inconvenienced, not diminished.
The shape of the whole
Among the 10 placements whose signs hold for the whole day, the elements divide 5 water, 2 fire, 2 air, 1 earth; by modality, 5 fixed, 3 cardinal, 2 mutable. Water signs hold memory in the scheme, where nothing is quite finished and little is genuinely forgotten. Uranus was 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 Cancer for the whole of that day at the birthplace, covering 12.0° between midnight and midnight. That is quick enough to make the exact degree a neighbourhood rather than an address, and slow enough to leave the sign settled. At the noon reference it stands at 7.4°.
