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.
Charles Dickens's Sun, in Aquarius
Your identity is vision: thinking differently, belonging to the future and to the tribe of the awake. It asserts itself through singularity, free thought and a vision of the future. You need to contribute your genuine perspective, break outdated patterns and connect with the collective consciousness.
Charles Dickens's Moon, in Sagittarius
Your spirits need air and future: movement, laughter and a good reason to believe restore you. You find emotional refuge in freedom, optimism and a wide perspective. You heal your emotions when you manage to see the whole picture and draw a life lesson from each experience.
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.

Charles Dickens'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 Fire and the Mutable modality.
Neptune is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Their chart forms no major pattern (grand trine, T-square, grand cross or stellium).
