as described by the Elements and Modes.
We come to the Signs of the Zodiac (which most folks are at least
semi-familiar with)... Sure.... you most likely know the Zodiac Sign
of your birth Sun - but where is the Ascendant, the Moon, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto? Don't go
into shock - but in your birth chart - each of the different planets (and
points) mentioned in Section One are most normally located in several of the
different Zodiac signs. The Zodiac Sign of a particular planet in your birth
chart will modify how the raw energy of the planet is expressed in your life.
At the very heart and
soul of the twelve Zodiac signs are what are called the Elements and Modes. A
lot of folks, including myself, mistakenly ignore(d) the Elements and Modes when
first starting out. However, ignoring the Elements and Modes is a huge mistake -
because the Elements and Modes are responsible for determining the basic
qualities and characteristics of the twelve Zodiac signs.
The twelve Zodiac signs
are divided up into different cyclic combinations of the Elements and Modes.
The cycle of the Four
Elements:
(1st) Fire, (2nd) Earth, (3rd) Air (4th) and Water
The cycle of the Three
Modes, or Modalities:
(1st) Cardinal, (2nd) Fixed (3rd) and Mutable.
Again... each of the
twelve Zodiac signs is a different cyclic combination of these four basic
Elements and three basic Modes.
Here's a
chart to look at so that you can see the symbols as well. The
elements and modalities will be explained in Lessons in Astrology.:
