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.
Tim Berners-Lee'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.
Tim Berners-Lee's Moon, in Capricorn
Your emotions are sober and deep: it's hard for you to ask, but you hold like a mountain. Your emotional world seeks refuge in restraint, work, pragmatism and self-control. You show affection by supporting and protecting your own, and you find peace when you feel you hold the reins of your life.
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.
Tim Berners-Lee's placements
We compute the placements for the day of birth. Without the exact time the Ascendant and houses can't be fixed, but each planet's sign is reliable.

Tim Berners-Lee'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.
Bucket
A group of planets with a single one opposite: that 'handle' planet becomes the channel of the whole chart.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Water and the Cardinal modality.
Neptune is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Cancer: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
