Anthony Cordesman birth chart is shown with zodiac signs and aspects. Because the birth time is unknown, Arcadia does not use houses, Rising sign, or angular dominants as the main basis of interpretation.
Anthony Cordesman's chart rests first on the stable factors: Sun in Leo and Moon in Aquarius. Without a reliable time, signs and aspects are stronger than the Rising sign or houses.
Chart detail:
Sun trine Jupiter (orb 0.4°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.
In plain terms, this aspect gives structural ease between identity and fulfillment: confidence can support ego and naturally open horizons. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Jupiter.
The birth time is not known with certainty, so the Rising sign and houses are less reliable. Signs and exact aspects give the safer reading base.

Signs Sun in Leo · Mars in Capricorn
Aspects Sun conjunct Pluto (orb 7°) · Mars square Saturn (orb 4°)
This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.
Important: Unknown birth time: the Rising sign, houses, and angular dominants are too time-sensitive to anchor the interpretation. The Moon remains useful, but its exact aspects can shift during the day: tight non-Moon aspects are more reliable when they exist.
Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.
Sun in Leo · Moon in Aquarius
First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Leo: identity and direction move through presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen; Moon in Aquarius: emotional safety looks for independence, networks, distance, and collective change. Because the birth time is missing, reliable aspects should carry the next step before houses or angles.
Dominants unavailable without reliable birth time
Angular dominants depend on birth time. Without a reliable hour, do not use them as primary evidence.
Harmonious circuit: Mars, Uranus, and Neptune
This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.
This pattern describes what comes more easily. Houses are not used here: unknown time. It connects Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality), and Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion).
This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Mars trine Uranus (orb 5.5°) and Mars trine Neptune (orb 5.6°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.
Tension triangle: Venus, Mars, and Saturn
This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.
This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. Houses are not used here: unknown time. It connects Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), and Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience).
This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Venus opposite Mars (orb 1.6°), Venus square Saturn (orb 2.5°), and Mars square Saturn (orb 4°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.
Houses unavailable without reliable birth time
Houses describe domains of existence, but they depend on birth time. Without a reliable hour, signs and aspects should carry the reading.

Without a reliable birth time, the Sun, Moon, and exact aspects become the reliable base. The Rising sign, houses, and angular dominants need a reliable birth time.
The Moon can change signs during a day. Near a lunar sign change, the Moon sign remains a hypothesis.
Without a reliable hour, exact aspects and reliable repetitions can strongly nuance the starting reading.
Sun in Leo remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. The Sun describes identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, with Leo style: presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen.
Concretely, the person expresses identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction through the Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Sun trine Jupiter (orb 0.4°). Aspect effect: gives structural ease between identity and fulfillment: confidence can support ego and naturally open horizons. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Jupiter.
Sun trine Jupiter (orb 0.4°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.
Here, Sun in Leo brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Jupiter in Aries brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).
Concrete support: this aspect gives structural ease between identity and fulfillment: confidence can support ego and naturally open horizons. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Jupiter.
Moon in Aquarius remains a useful base without a birth time. The Moon sign is often usable, but near a Moon sign change it remains a hypothesis; the Moon describes personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, with Aquarius style: independence, networks, distance, and collective change.
Concretely, the person expresses personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm through the Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Moon square Uranus (orb 0.1°). Aspect effect: creates concrete instability between attachment, childhood imprint, personal dream, and rupture.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon square Uranus (orb 0.1°). Because the birth time is unknown, the Moon's exact degree can shift during the day. This interpretation stays provisional and gains weight only if the aspect remains tight across the possible birth window or repeats another clear signature.
Here, Moon in Aquarius brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Uranus in Taurus brings disruption, independence, and change with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).
Concrete friction: this aspect creates concrete instability between attachment, childhood imprint, personal dream, and rupture.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon opposite Mercury (orb 1.5°). Because the birth time is unknown, the Moon's exact degree can shift during the day. This interpretation stays provisional and gains weight only if the aspect remains tight across the possible birth window or repeats another clear signature.
Here, Moon in Aquarius brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change); Mercury in Leo brings intellect, language, thought, and technique with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).
Concrete conflict: this aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against intellect and language: what is imagined or remembered can contradict what is said.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon conjunct Lilith (orb 3.2°). Because the birth time is unknown, the Moon's exact degree can shift during the day. This interpretation stays provisional and gains weight only if the aspect remains tight across the possible birth window or repeats another clear signature.
Here, both planets use the same Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change). Moon in Aquarius brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Lilith in Aquarius brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise.
Concrete effect: this aspect joins the inner child, mother image, and personal dream to Lilith's ideal demand, as if ordinary daily life is not enough.
