An archetype only says which kind of energy carries the most weight in the chart. It is a starting point for reading it, not a judgment of the person.

The tightest aspects in Neil Armstrong's chart

An aspect is the angle between two planets; the smaller the orb, the more closely their themes are read as bound together. The tightest in this chart:

• Mars sextile Uranus, orb 0.4°. Mars symbolizes drive, desire, courage and anger; Uranus, change, freedom, originality and surprise. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.
• Mercury conjunction Neptune, orb 0.7°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Neptune, dreams, imagination, compassion and blurred boundaries. A conjunction is usually described as two planets' themes fused, each amplifying the other.
• Moon square Venus, orb 0.8°. Moon symbolizes emotions, comfort and the need to feel safe; Venus, love, beauty, values and pleasure. A square is usually described as friction that also drives.
• Jupiter opposition Saturn, orb 2.4°. Jupiter symbolizes growth, faith, generosity and meaning; Saturn, structure, responsibility, limits and maturity. A opposition is usually described as a pull between two sides that mirror each other.

Stelliums and patterns

• Mercury, Venus and Neptune in Virgo: three or more planets in one sign make a stellium, and that sign's themes stand out in the chart.
• Sun, Mercury and Neptune in the 4th house: the part of life this house covers carries a lot of weight.

A birth chart describes the sky at the moment of birth. We use astrology's language as a cultural reference here: it says nothing about the person's character, private life or future.
