The Sun-sign column is a door with no house behind it. Lagna — the rising sign — is the hinge: which rashi was coming up at the eastern horizon. From there the twelve rooms unroll.
If the birth time is unknown, say so. Do not invent a rising and then argue from it. Unknown is a respectable reliability.
