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.
Tom Hanks's Sun, in Cancer
Your core is care and protection: memory, shelter and the ability to make a home anywhere. Your life purpose is nourished by belonging, care and emotional memory. Your strength lies in welcoming, protecting and creating spaces where sensitivity is valued.
Tom Hanks'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.
Without an exact birth time, the Moon could fall in the neighbouring sign: it changed sign that day.
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 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.

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 Fixed modality.
Neptune is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
