These placements are deterministic astronomical calculations. Interpretive meaning is separate from health, mortality, and factual claims.

Calculation confidence: date_based_reliable_birth_time_unknown. Moon: calculated date based. Rising sign: birth time needed. Date-based geocentric placements use a noon UTC reference. Moon uncertainty is retained. No Ascendant or houses are inferred. Astrology is interpretation, not fact, medicine, or mortality prediction.
