The chart

Lahiri ayanāṁśa · whole-sign houses · mean nodes

No ascendant is shown, and that is not a limitation of this page

The ascendant travels the entire zodiac in a day, so a date without an hour does not determine it — nor any house, since houses are counted from it. Software that shows you one here has assumed a time, usually noon, and has not told you. Jade would rather show you less and have all of it be true.

Settled by the date alone

A missing time is a question, not a dead end

This is exactly what rectification is for. Add sagan to your own workspace with the dated events of their life and Jade will sweep the day, rank the candidate times by the classical rules each one satisfies, and tell you which rules actually did the ranking and which fired for every candidate and therefore separated nothing. How rectification works

Date and place from this source. Summary written for Jade. Jade does not predict death, disease or legal outcomes, and nothing on this page is a forecast.
