what "signature" means
Not your Rising. Not your Sun.
your signature sign is the single sign that best summarises your whole chart's gestalt: the crossing of your dominant element (fire, earth, air, water) and your dominant modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable).
think of it like the genre of a playlist, not the first song. your Sun is the track everyone hears first. your Rising is how you walk into the room. signature is the mood the whole collection keeps returning to.
the Rising is the door. signature is the weather inside the house: six placements in water outvote one Aries Rising, every time.

signature sign
Taurus
Earth · Fixed
At the crossing of your dominant element (earth) and your dominant modality (fixed) sits Taurus: the sign that summarises the gestalt of your chart, distinct from your Sun, your Moon, or your Rising.
This echoes your Rising; the signature confirms the part of you that's most visible.
The runner-up sits close, so the signature carries a Fixed-Cardinal mix in practice.

Why Earth?
the rising is the door; the signature is the weather inside the house. these are the heaviest-weighted placements that tipped the vote to earth, whatever your Rising or Sun happen to be:

The feeling
You have been the responsible one for so long you have forgotten it was ever assigned rather than chosen. People lean on you because you do not break, and almost no one has asked who you lean on. The weight you carry is invisible mostly because you carry it so well.
The architecture
This is a Saturn-Earth chart, Saturn in its most native register, the architect building in its own material. The dominant note of your chart is structure, endurance, and the slow construction of something that lasts. You mature early, work relentlessly, and trust only what you have built with your own hands.
Gravity & hope
The risk is a life that is all foundation and no house, all duty and no joy, the structure so solid that nothing alive ever moves in. Let yourself have the thing you built.

The bodies steering your chart
Pullen-style breakdown: each body scored on a Position component (sign, house, dignity, rulership, sect, condition) and an Aspects component (orb-weighted contacts). The Percent sums to 100% across all bodies: your share of the total chart steer.

Forty namings.
The kind of chart a person is, said in the voice of the reading rather than the textbook. Ten planets, four elements, every cell its own arc.
