The 12 Signs of the Zodiac

Signs can be categorized by their components of polarity (masculine or feminine), element (fire, earth, air or water) and mode (cardinal, fixed or mutable).

Signs can be interpreted by these three distinct components in a broad way.

This time we will take a look at the meaning of each sign in more detail and discover some of the personality traits, body parts, careers, and correlations associated with each sign.

This is not to say that someone with the Sun in a particular sign will have that specific career, but it shows the inclinations for someone with a strong sign energy, through multiple planets, or if the Midheaven in that sign, to be attracted to the type of a careers and activities associated with the sign.

The Meaning of the Signs

Each sign has a different meaning and when a planet is in one sign it will behave differently to when in another sign.
