A certificate, and a time from websites that it retired
The database's first note is brief: "Birth certificate in hand from Viktor E." That earns the AA grade, and the chart uses 2:09 p.m.
A second note adds: "Previously this entry had the time 10:23 a.m., source unknown, from Craft quoting various websites." That older hour would put 24°13′ Scorpio on the horizon and a Virgo midheaven. The Moon stays in Cancer under either time.

Rising sign, midheaven and Moon calculated by us for each time, Fullerton, California, Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7).
A Moon just past the descendant, at right angles to Jupiter
The Moon entered Cancer at 7:52 a.m. on October 2 and leaves at 8:25 p.m. on October 4, so it spends her whole birthday there. At 15°03′ it stands 0°50′ beyond the descendant, so both house systems file it under the 7th, the tradition's house of one-to-one encounters.
Jupiter at 15°07′ of Libra squares it, 0°04′ from exact. Astrologers read a Moon-to-Jupiter square as feeling that grows larger than its occasion. Jupiter is a 9th-house body by Placidus and a 10th-house body by Whole Sign.

Capricorn rising, and the Scorpio that 10:23 a.m. would have shown
Capricorn held the Fullerton horizon from 1:10 p.m. to 3:07 p.m., with Sagittarius before it and Aquarius after. The recorded minute falls 59 minutes in, with 58 to spare, so 14°13′ Capricorn would hold through a clock error of almost an hour either way. The 10:23 a.m. entry belongs to another sign.
Capricorn rising points to a measured, structured first impression. Mars at 8°00′ of Capricorn shifts from the 12th house to the 1st, depending on the system.

Libra, filed under the 9th house or the 10th
The Sun at 10°28′, Jupiter at 15°07′ and Uranus at 4°48′ stand in Libra, and Mercury at 1°38′ is retrograde in the same sign. By Whole Sign all four fall in the 10th house, the sector of public standing. Placidus sends the Sun, Jupiter and Uranus to the 9th, the house of travel and belief, and Mercury to the 8th.
A crowd of Libra bodies suggests attention to fairness and exchange.

Saturn near the IC, in trine with Mars
Mars at 8°00′ of Capricorn trines retrograde Saturn at 7°23′ of Taurus, 0°38′ from exact. Saturn rules Capricorn in the old scheme, and the trine joins two earth signs, a pairing linked with steady effort.
Saturn also lies 3°24′ past the IC, the point opposite the midheaven at 3°58′ Scorpio. That is the 4th house in one system and the 5th in the other. Up on the opposite end, Neptune at 26°47′ of Scorpio is alone in the Placidus 10th.

Sun square Moon inside a chart of starters
The Sun squares the Moon, 4°34′ from exact, a standing tension between two signs that each open a season.
Cardinal signs hold six planets: Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus in Libra, the Moon in Cancer and Mars in Capricorn. That weighting points to an orientation toward starting things.
