The chart's balance
chart_signature makes a good summary screen:
elementsandmodes: a count and a percentage for each, with the dominant one. Each of the ten planets counts once.dominant_signs: the signs holding the most planets.hemispheres: how many planets are in the east and west, and north and south, and which way the chart leans.moon_phase: the Moon's phase at birth, with its angle from the Sun.
Drawing it
western-natal-wheel returns the wheel as an image, ready to show. You do not need a chart library.
Adding words
western-planet-readings: each planet in its sign and house.western-house-readings: each house from its sign and ruler.western-personality-report: a whole personality reading.western-detailed-report: everything, and it can also become a PDF or an MP3.
