Integration Logic
Leo repeats 2 times in the Big Three, so that sign becomes a major theme, but each role still has to be read separately.
Sun rules the Sun sign, Saturn rules the Moon sign and Sun rules the Rising sign. Check those rulers by sign, house and aspect before final synthesis.
A strong Big Three interpretation compares what the person is becoming (Leo Sun), what they need privately (Capricorn Moon), and how they instinctively enter situations (Leo Rising).
For this specific trio, read Leo as the developmental center, Capricorn as the private regulation pattern, and Leo as the visible interface with the world.
