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
Aries
Fire · Cardinal
At the crossing of your dominant element (fire) and your dominant modality (cardinal) sits Aries: 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?
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:

Mars×Fire
The feeling
When you decide, you move. The gap between wanting and doing is the shortest thing about you, and you have spent a life slightly impatient with people who need to think about it first. You do not wait for permission. You were not built for it.
The architecture
This is a Mars-Fire chart. Mars is the will, the capacity to want something and go take it, and here it operates in pure ignition. Your drive is direct, fast, and combustible. You initiate. You go first. You find out who you are by what you are willing to charge at.
Gravity & hope
The work is the aim, not the throttle. Raw will with no patience burns out or burns others, and the bravest thing a fighter learns is when not to swing.

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.
