Section I · The core
The two luminaries
Two lights set the tone of the whole chart: the Sun, the identity; the Moon, the emotional world.
Paul McCartney's Sun, in Gemini
Your identity lives in curiosity: you are bridge, translator, permanent question. It unfolds through versatility, movement and the play of ideas. You need to explore, build bridges, ask questions and connect concepts in order to understand the world.
Paul McCartney's Moon, in Leo
Your heart needs to be seen, needs warmth and room to show itself as it is: loyalty and sincere recognition are your emotional nourishment. You feel magnanimously and need your affections to affirm your true self.
Section II · The map
Their natal wheel
The sky on the day they were born. The outer ring is the twelve signs; the lines across the centre, the aspects between planets. Without a birth time, houses and the Ascendant aren't drawn.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.

Paul McCartney's aspects
Each aspect is an angle between two planets; it defines how they speak to each other. Aspects to the Moon are approximate: they depend on the exact birth time.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
Section IV · The signature
The signature of their sky
The whole at a glance: how the planets are spread, and the accents that set the overall tone of the chart.
Bowl
Your planets fill half the chart: one half full, one empty, like something you seek to complete.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Air and the Mutable modality.
Uranus is the most connected planet in their chart: 5 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Gemini: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
Three or more planets together in Leo: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
