Derek Martin 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.
Derek Martin's chart rests first on the stable factors: Sun in Aries and Moon in Scorpio. Without a reliable time, signs and aspects are stronger than the Rising sign or houses.
Chart detail:
Sun square Pluto (orb 0.1°) 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 Sun in Aries
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 Aries · Moon in Scorpio
First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Aries: identity and direction move through initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action; Moon in Scorpio: emotional safety looks for intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power. 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: Moon, Mars, 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), Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), and Neptune (dreams, ideals, imagination, and confusion).
This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Moon sextile Mars (orb 3.1°) and Moon sextile Neptune (orb 3.8°). 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 circuit: Pluto, Sun, and Venus
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 Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships).
This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Sun square Pluto (orb 0.1°) and Venus square Pluto (orb 2.7°). 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 Aries remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. The Sun describes identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, with Aries style: initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action.
Concretely, the person expresses identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction through the Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Sun square Pluto (orb 0.1°). Aspect effect: creates tension between identity, father image, power, and control: recognition can feel like a field of crisis or domination.
Sun square Pluto (orb 0.1°) 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 Aries brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action); Pluto in Cancer brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity).
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 Uranus (orb 2.1°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.
Here, both planets use the same Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action). Sun in Aries brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Uranus in Aries brings disruption, independence, and change.
Concrete effect: this aspect ties identity to independence, rupture, and the need not to fit the frame.
Sun conjunct Venus (orb 2.6°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.
Here, both planets use the same Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action). Sun in Aries brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Venus in Aries 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 Scorpio 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 Scorpio style: intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power.
Concretely, the person expresses personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm through the Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon sextile Mars (orb 3.1°). 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 Scorpio brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power); Mars in Virgo brings action, courage, competition, and effort with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail).
Concrete cooperation: personal dream, inner child, and action can cooperate quickly. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Mars.
The Rising sign cannot be determined if the time is not known.
Mercury in Pisces remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. Mercury describes intellect, language, thought, and technique, with Pisces style: imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability.
Concretely, the person expresses thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy through the Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Mercury trine Pluto (orb 4.7°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.
Concrete support: this aspect gives intellect ease handling difficult situations: thought can stay lucid under pressure and understand what others avoid.
Venus in Aries remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. Venus describes desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, with Aries style: initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action.
Concretely, the person expresses desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style through the Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Venus square Pluto (orb 2.7°). Aspect effect: creates compulsive friction around desire, jealousy, possession, sexual power, and the fear of being controlled or devalued: attraction can become a test, a fixation, a power struggle, or a refusal to be vulnerable.
Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Venus.
Venus square Pluto (orb 2.7°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.
