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
Gemini
Air · Mutable
At the crossing of your dominant element (air) and your dominant modality (mutable) sits Gemini: the sign that summarises the gestalt of your chart, distinct from your Sun, your Moon, or your Rising.
This echoes your Sun; the signature confirms the part of you that's most visible.
Reading under Traditional rulership · chart ruler Mercury.
Why Air?
the rising is the door; the signature is the weather inside the house. these are the heaviest-weighted placements that tipped the vote to air, whatever your Rising or Sun happen to be:

The feeling
Your mind is the main event and always has been. You collect ideas the way other people collect grudges, turning them over, connecting them, delighting in the click of two unrelated things snapping together. A boring conversation is a small death to you.
The architecture
This is a Mercury-Air chart, the mind in its purest native element. Communication, pattern, and exchange are the dominant current of your whole chart. You understand the world by talking to it. Your intelligence is quick, lateral, and built for connection.
Gravity & hope
The danger is brilliance with no floor, a mind so busy connecting everything that it commits to nothing. Ideas are not the same as a life. Land one.

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.

Asteria · the archetype library
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.
