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
Leo
Fire · Fixed
At the crossing of your dominant element (fire) and your dominant modality (fixed) sits Leo: 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.
The runner-up sits close, so the signature carries a Fire-Earth mix in practice.

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

Sun×Fire
The feeling
You walk into rooms and the temperature changes. You have always known this, even when you pretended not to. There is a brightness on you that you did not ask for and cannot fully put down.
The architecture
This is a Sun-Fire chart. The Sun is the author of your consciousness, the awareness shaping the whole story, and here it burns in its own element. Identity and flame are the same substance in you. You do not warm up to your life slowly. You ignite, and then you find out what you set alight.
Gravity & hope
The work is not to dim. The work is to learn that a fire which only performs eventually consumes the one tending it. Burn for something, not at everyone.

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.

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.
