ASTROLOGICAL HOUSES

There are 12 astrological houses in an astrology birth chart and each represents a different part of your life or challenges that you may face along the way. The first house is always located at the position where an hour hand is at 9 o’clock on the face of a clock. The rest of the houses are lined up going in a counter-clockwise direction on the zodiac wheel.

ASTROLOGICAL ELEMENTS

The elemental nature of the zodiac signs stems from ancient Greek philosophers who believed that everything in the universe was made up of one or more of the four basic elements: fire, earth, air and water. Each element contains three zodiac signs and theses signs are known as triplicities. The astrological elements are indications of energies and personality types. The elements have been divided into two groups active and passive. Fire and Air signs are considered active. Water and Earth signs are considered passive.

ASTROLOGICAL PLANETS

In Western astrology, the location and movements of the astrological planets, sun and moon are major influences of the traits associated with the zodiac signs. The exact position of the planets, sun and moon at the time, date and location of your birth make up your natal (birth) chart. These locations are ever changing in the heavens and continually influence your current horoscope and future events that take place in your life. Each planet rules a specific zodiac sign; however, they all have some type of influence over all of the other signs.

ASTROLOGICAL MOON PHASES

In astrology, the moon phases are the relationships of the Sun/Moon at the time of an individual’s birth. It is the particular point in which the moon was in during its never-ending cycle. There are eight moon phases in a complete cycle. Knowing the moon phase adds another aspect to describe a person’s unique and multifaceted personality, in particular, emotions, intimacy and secret desires. People who are born in the same moon phase may share some of the same traits. It is also useful to know what cycle the moon is in during the current time. Each phase has certain characteristics associated with it and can be used to plan what days are the best days to make decisions and to guide you in your daily life.

ASTROLOGICAL MODALITIES

In each of the three astrological modalities or modes cardinal, fixed and mutable there are four zodiac signs. These four-sign groups are known as quadruplicities. The signs that are grouped together in each mode share the same essential and key qualities; however, they also have many individual differences.

ASTROLOGICAL DUALITIES AND POLARITIES

Dualities and polarities are groupings of zodiac signs by their yin and yang qualities and opposite characteristics.
