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
Sagittarius
Fire · Mutable
At the crossing of your dominant element (fire) and your dominant modality (mutable) sits Sagittarius: 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.

Why Fire?

Asteria · the archetype
Mercury×Fire
The feeling
You think out loud and at speed, and you have spent a life half a beat ahead of your own mouth. Ideas arrive already on fire. By the time the careful people have raised a hand, you have already said the thing the room was afraid to.
The architecture
This is a Mercury-Fire chart. Your mind is the dominant instrument, and it moves like a strike. You perceive fast, speak in sparks, and grasp the shape of a thing before the details arrive. Thought and action barely separate in you.
Gravity & hope
The work is the edit, the breath before the send, the willingness to let a thought finish cooking before you serve it. Your speed is a gift that occasionally bites the hand.

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.
