What is the zodiac?
In Western tropical astrology, the zodiac begins at the March equinox with Aries and follows the changing seasonal cycle. The twelve signs provide a symbolic language for describing temperament and expression.
02 · ELEMENTS
Four elements
Fire signs act through inspiration, Earth through practicality, Air through ideas and connection, and Water through feeling and intuition. Most charts contain a personal mixture of all four.
03 · MODALITIES
Three modalities
Cardinal signs initiate, Fixed signs stabilize, and Mutable signs adapt. Each season begins, peaks, and transitions through this repeating rhythm.
