Dave McNally 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.
Dave McNally's chart rests first on the stable factors: Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Cancer. Without a reliable time, signs and aspects are stronger than the Rising sign or houses.
Chart detail:
Sun square Pluto (orb 0.2°) 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 creates tension between identity, father image, power, and control: recognition can feel like a field of crisis or domination.
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 Venus in Scorpio · Sun in Scorpio
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 Scorpio · Moon in Cancer
First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Scorpio: identity and direction move through intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power; Moon in Cancer: emotional safety looks for memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity. 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 link: Moon 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 Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety) and Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion).
This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Moon sextile Neptune (orb 1.9°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. No wider group outranks this link, so read it as a strong but isolated signal.
Tension circuit: Mars, Moon, Venus, Pluto, and Jupiter
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 Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), and Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation).
This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon square Mars (orb 0.1°), Venus square Pluto (orb 3.8°), and Mars square Jupiter (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 Scorpio remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. The Sun describes identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, with Scorpio style: intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power.
Concretely, the person expresses identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction through the Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Sun square Pluto (orb 0.2°). Aspect effect: creates tension between identity, father image, power, and control: recognition can feel like a field of crisis or domination.
Sun trine Lilith (orb 0.2°) 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 Scorpio brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power); Lilith in Cancer brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity).
Concrete support: Lilith's pure ideal can support identity, making the self-image feel magnetic, exacting, or iconic. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Lilith.
Sun square Pluto (orb 0.2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.
Here, Sun in Scorpio brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power); Pluto in Leo brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).
Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between identity, father image, power, and control: recognition can feel like a field of crisis or domination.
Sun conjunct Venus (orb 4°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.
Here, both planets use the same Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power). Sun in Scorpio brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Venus in Scorpio brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction.
Concrete effect: this aspect brings identity, ego, father image, desire, taste, and attraction together: the person wants to be seen through what they love or embody.
Reading note: Common solar conjunction: Mercury and Venus always stay close to the Sun. It becomes genuinely meaningful when the orb is very tight, one factor is angular, or the same theme repeats elsewhere.
Moon in Cancer 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 Cancer style: memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity.
Concretely, the person expresses personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm through the Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Moon square Mars (orb 0.1°). Aspect effect: creates live tension between the inner child, mother image, and Mars: vulnerability, protection, or the need for safety can turn into anger, inhibition, or defense, sometimes through a weak, inhibiting, or castrating mother image.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon square Mars (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 Cancer brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity); Mars in Libra brings action, courage, competition, and effort with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).
Concrete friction: this aspect creates live tension between the inner child, mother image, and Mars: vulnerability, protection, or the need for safety can turn into anger, inhibition, or defense, sometimes through a weak, inhibiting, or castrating mother image.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon sextile Neptune (orb 1.9°). 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 Cancer brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity); Neptune in Libra brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).
Concrete cooperation: sensitivity and imagination can cooperate through art, intuition, care, or atmosphere. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Neptune.
The Rising sign cannot be determined if the time is not known.
Mercury in Libra remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. Mercury describes intellect, language, thought, and technique, with Libra style: relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form.
Concretely, the person expresses thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy through the Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Mercury square Jupiter (orb 4.9°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.
Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between precision and amplification: thought wants to stay exact, while Jupiter pushes to widen, promise, exaggerate, or give too much meaning.
Venus in Scorpio remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. Venus describes desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, with Scorpio style: intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power.
Concretely, the person expresses desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style through the Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
