Howard Simons 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.
Howard Simons's chart rests first on the stable factors: Sun in Gemini and Moon in Aries. Without a reliable time, signs and aspects are stronger than the Rising sign or houses.
Chart detail:
Saturn trine Neptune (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 positive ease giving solid form to a dream or collective image.
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 Mercury in Gemini · Venus in Taurus
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 Gemini · Moon in Aries
First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Gemini: identity and direction move through curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation; Moon in Aries: emotional safety looks for initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action. 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 triangle: Mars, Sun, and Uranus
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), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality).
This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Sun sextile Mars (orb 0.5°), Mars trine Uranus (orb 1.3°), and Sun sextile Uranus (orb 1.8°). 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 link: Moon and Pluto
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 Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety) and Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation).
This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon square Pluto (orb 0.1°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. No wider group outranks this link, so read it as a strong but isolated signal.
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 Gemini remains a reliable combination even without a birth time. The Sun describes identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, with Gemini style: curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation.
Concretely, the person expresses identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction through the Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation). Exact aspects and repeated patterns indicate whether this theme becomes central.
Aspect connected to this placement: Sun sextile Mars (orb 0.5°). Aspect effect: lets identity and action cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars.
Sun sextile Mars (orb 0.5°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.
Here, Sun in Gemini brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation); Mars in Leo brings action, courage, competition, and effort with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).
Concrete cooperation: identity and action can cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars.
Sun sextile Uranus (orb 1.8°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.
Here, Sun in Gemini brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation); Uranus in Aries brings disruption, independence, and change with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).
Concrete cooperation: identity and originality can cooperate actively. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Uranus.
Moon in Aries 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 Aries style: initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action.
Concretely, the person expresses personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm 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: Moon square Pluto (orb 0.1°). Aspect effect: creates tension between personal dream, childhood, mother image, control, and fear: protection can become suspicion, grip, or overreaction.
Time-sensitive Moon aspect: Moon square Pluto (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 Aries brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm 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 personal dream, childhood, mother image, control, and fear: protection can become suspicion, grip, or overreaction.
The Rising sign cannot be determined if the time is not known.
