Astrological
signs are categorised by their ancient, elemental identities of:
- fire
(spirit & energy),
- air
(intellect & communication),
- water
(emotion & nurture) and
- earth
(material things & security).
These elements are considered the building blocks of existence at all
levels. They interpret a much broader range of experience than the "chemical
elements" of modern science, and should not be confused with them. They
are also known as the quadruplicities.
Each sign is also identified by it's quality, that is whether it is:
- cardinal
(creative),
- fixed
(determined) or
- mutable
(changeable) in character.
These features are known as the triplicities and are usually
interpreted in conjunction with the elements or quadruplicities.
The Fiery signs, for example, are Aries, the Ram (cardinal-fire), Leo,
the Lion (fixed-fire) and Sagittarius, the Centaur (mutable-fire). The
other signs follow a similar pattern (see table below). |
