● The chart — computed live from real ephemeris

  • computing…

No documented birth time — we show planetary signs only and refuse to invent houses. An honest gap beats a decorated lie.

Birth time not documented — positions computed for 12:00 UTC, stated honestly. The Moon and Rising values from the legacy archive are kept as editorial context only.
