THE SIGNS
The great circle in the heavens is divided into 12 equal parts. These parts are the called “the signs”. Each sign is 30 degrees in longitude. The 12 signs have characteristics that are unique to each sign and we will be exploring this.
To better get a feel for The Zodiac take out a clean sheet of paper. Place a large coffee can or other rounded bottomed can on the paper and trace out a circle, the larger the better. Trace the circle onto the paper using a pencil. Once this is done, start at the top of the circle and draw a line straight down using a ruler. Then go to the extreme left of the circle. This is the starting point of the zodiac. Place a small arrow outside the circle at this point. Then draw a line from left to right of the circle.
At this point you should have a circle with a plus (cross) in it dividing the circle into fourths. Continue the process until there are “12 slices to the pie” by using the crosses.
Now that we have “the pie” divided into 12 “slices” we want to label the slices. Starting at the arrow which is at the far left and moving in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction we start with Aries.
Labeling the first slice as Aries, the next is Taurus, then Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius then Pisces. ALWAYS in this order.
Once the slices are named you probably want to add in the symbols. Astrology deals with symbolism, with associations and these symbols have meanings.
At this point you want to be able to look at a symbol and know its name from memory. This may take a bit as there are usually 2 or 3 Symbols that individuals “mix up”. Now I will give you some words to write in with each symbol so you can begin to use word (symbol) association. In the slice named Aries, write in energy and force. Taurus: building, creating, strengthening. Gemini: duality, communication. Cancer: emotions, home, security. Leo: ego, self-expansive, honor, royalty. Virgo: discriminate (in terms of mental assimilation), exact, precise, refining. Libra: fairness, beauty (grace), sociableness. Scorpio: control, deep, death and rebirth. Sagittarius: philosophical, opinionated. Capricorn: strategy, structure, tightness. Aquarius: eccentric, sudden, brotherhood (meaning a concern for others). Pisces: cloudy, dreamy, illusion, religion. Now these are by no means all that can be said about these signs but it does provide a “foundation” which we will be building on! What you want to be able to do is look only at a sign. Know its name and the keywords in its “slice”. Keep this piece of paper in a visible area by the computer so if you need to you can simply glance up at it. This will come in handy.
In the charts we use the “Law of Opposites”. Look at the keywords for Virgo. Exact, precision and we get the feeling something needs to be dead accurate. The opposite of Virgo is Pisces which sits exactly opposite of the “pie”. Its keywords are opposite of Virgo as well: cloudy, dreamy etc. This works with all signs. Cancer (emotions) and Capricorn (strategy) are at the polar ends of the spectrum. One is highly emotional, while the other has an emotional “tightness” about it.
What follows is advanced. You may want to read over it and put it aside until much later. I simply needed to put it in here for your reference when you are reading to expand possibly after future lessons are read.
The Square and the Triangle form within the circle. The Triangle ties together 3 like signs. An example is the signs Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Simply count 4 signs over, like Gemini to Libra is 1(Cancer) 2(Leo) 3 (Virgo) 4 is (Libra)...this gives you another sign that is harmonious with the originating sign. These 3 signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) form a triangle in the circle. This triangle is known as the Air Trine. What does this mean? These signs are extremely sociable and talkative much more than other signs. They are alike in that they have certain characteristics like sociability which they share. There are other Triangles in the circle. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius comprise the Fire Trine which is very impulsive (spur of the moment). Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn compose the Earth signs, while Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces comprise the Water Trine. These will be expanded.
For now we need to know that 4 triangles form within the circle. 3 squares are also found in the circle: cardinal, fixed and mutable. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces comprise the mutable signs. They share common characteristics such as they are all what I call “mental” signs. The Cardinal Signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, found in Ezekiel. To get the next Mutable sign over from Gemini, we count 3 signs over... 1 (Cancer) 2 (Leo) and 3 is Virgo. So instead of counting 4 over like we did with the triangles above, we count 3 over.
The Triangles are of a harmonious nature while the squares are inharmonious. An example of disharmony is the finicky exacting Virgo trying to pin down the duality of the Gemini. The signs clash. Cancer is in a triangle (harmonious) with Scorpio. Here the Cancer need for security finds relief in the take control ways of Scorpio. Scorpio leads the way while Cancer tags along willingly. There is support here. There is support in the triangles. Support is harmony as the 2 can work together.
