Raymond Hood 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.
Raymond Hood's chart rests first on the stable factors: Sun in Aries and Moon in Aries. Without a reliable time, signs and aspects are stronger than the Rising sign or houses.
Chart detail:
Mars square Pluto (orb 0.6°) 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 friction between Mars (action, courage, competition, and effort) and Pluto's crisis instinct: pressure can become domination, fear, or destructive escalation unless it receives a clear outlet.
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 · Venus in Taurus
Aspects Venus conjunct Neptune (orb 5.3°)
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 Aries
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 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 circuit: Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn
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), Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future), and Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience).
This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Mars sextile Jupiter (orb 0.6°) and Mars sextile Saturn (orb 2.9°). 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: Mars 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 Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage) and Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation).
This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Mars square Pluto (orb 0.6°). 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 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.
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).

Mercury sextile Neptune (orb 1.1°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.
Here, Mercury in Pisces brings intellect, language, thought, and technique with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability); Neptune in Taurus brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).
