Big Three
Also called Sun, Moon and rising
The Sun sign, Moon sign and rising sign, the usual quick summary of a chart.
Modern astrologers treat these three as the core of a chart: identity, feeling and first impression. Without a birth time there is no rising sign, so this site calls the summary “core placements” instead and does not invent one.
