Astrology Basics
Before jumping into the zodiac signs, it is important to understand that astrology seeks to describe energy. Energy is grouped several times before resulting in the twelve signs of the zodiac.
Duality
The first classification is masculine and feminine energy. These classifications are not associated with physical sex but rather the root energy of masculine and feminine nature. Masculine energy is associated with the mind and logic whereas feminine energy is associated with the heart and emotion.
The duality of masculine and feminine energies can also be understood by the concept of Yin and Yang.
Elements
​
FIRE
Aries/ Leo/ Sagittarius
Fire signs are characterized by their logical and assertive qualities, akin to the fiery essence they embody. These signs revolve around themes of physical vigor and boundless energy, evoking a strong sense of youthful enthusiasm and passionate expression. Much like the element of fire, fire signs are predominantly focused on dynamism and taking proactive steps.
​
EARTH
Taurus/ Virgo/ Capricorn
Earth signs are characterized as feminine and emotionally attuned signs. They are closely linked to the concepts of grounding and a down-to-earth disposition. Common attributes associated with these signs include reliability, practicality, persistence, and a steady, unwavering nature, mirroring the steadfast qualities of the very earth beneath our feet.
​
AIR
Gemini/ Libra/ Aquarius
Air signs are considered to be masculine and rational in nature. They are fundamentally linked by the realms of thought and communication. The primary energies shared among these signs revolve around intellectual pursuits and matters of the mind. Much like the invisible yet vital presence of air, thoughts and the concepts of the mind hold significance in shaping our existence.
​
WATER
Cancer/ Scorpio/ Pisces
Water signs are emotionally sensitive and feminine in nature. Their common bond lies in the realm of feelings. While they certainly encompass human emotions, water signs also extend their connection to the capacity for sensing beyond the physical world. This energy is intricately tied to intuition and the spiritual realm. Much like the depths concealed beneath the surface of water, there is an ever-present mystery waiting to be explored, with greater enigma awaiting those who dare to venture deeper.
