Learning Astrology: How to Interpret Your Own Sign
Astrology: Signs, Elements, Polarities, Modes, and Planets
The history of astrology can now be traced back to ancient Babylon. Since that time, almost every culture in the history of the world has developed some system of astrology. Being a psychology major in college, I absolutely love personality assessments, and astrology seems to be the most developed of these (at least within the non-scientific/non-academic world).
Whether you deeply believe and follow astrology or you just like to be entertained from your sun sign horoscope in the morning paper, astrology is a part of everyday life and is incredibly interesting. This article is a very basic tutorial on how to begin to develop your own ability to read and interpret astrology.
It will cover basic astrology: zodiac signs, elements, polarities, modes, and planets and then it will show you how to put the pieces together to create your own readings and interpretations. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!

12 Signs of the Zodiac
Each sign is represented by a 30-degree (1/12th of a circle) segment of the sky. Sun sign astrology, which is normally seen in newspapers and magazines, is based on the segment of the sky the sun is located in when you were born.

Polarity
The Yin (-) and the Yang (+) Each of the 12 signs of the zodiac also have Polarity; they can be either positive or negative. Starting with the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, the signs alternate between positive and negative. Fire and Air signs are positive (+) in polarity and are attributed with being self-expressive. The positive polarities are considered Yang and influence these signs toward a nature that is more active and outgoing. Water and Earth signs are negative (-) in polarity and are attributed with being self-repressive. The negative polarities are considered Yin and influence these signs toward a more withdrawn and introverted nature. They are receptive and responsive, and reactive to outside influences. Masculine (yang) (+) signs are Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius Feminine (yin) (-) signs are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces |
Qualities
The Three Modes of the Zodiac Each sign is also attributed with a specific quality or mode- Cardinal, Fixed, or Mutable. Cardnal Signs are associated with: Initiatory, Originating, Creative Stage, Gets Things Going. These signs correspond with the beginning of each season. (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) Fixed Signs are associated with: Stability, Determination, Maintaining, Gets Things Done. These signs sustain what has already been created. (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) Mutable Signs are associated with: Resourcefulness, Adaptive, Flexible, Transformation. These signs correspond to the completion of one season, changing into another.

The Interpretation: Putting The Pieces Together
Reading Signs and Planets
You can think of planets as the main topic (ex. Sun= Inner Self/Self Image) You can think of signs as what you can attribute to the topic (ex. Cancer= Morality, feeling, and sensitivity) So, in this example, if your sun sign is cancer, then you can attribute your Inner-Self/Self Image to qualities like being moral, emotional, and sensitive. Each planet (sun and moon included) represents a part of yourself. Whichever Zodiac section they are located in when you are born, you can associate the characteristics of that Zodiac sign to the part of yourself represented by that planet. So, if Jupiter is in Aries when you were born. You know that Jupiter represents your search for meaning, luck, expansion, and the philosophical part of yourself. And you know that Aries represents characteristics like Independence, Energy, Competition, and Exhibition. So, that means that if Jupiter is in Aries when you are born you may pursue your philosophical side- your search for meaning in this world- with a kind of do-it-yourself/independent attitude. You also may like to show off and express what you've learned in life so far, or at least what you are learning right now. With regard to expansion or growth in life, you definitely have a competitive nature- you have a drive toward personal development. And you may look at personal growth as a competition, comparing your achievements and milestones in life to others. Further Interpretation: You also know that Aries is a fire sign, a cardinal mode, and has positive polarity. You can use the characteristics associated with them to further your understanding of Jupiter in Aries. Fire signs are active and passionate. Positive polarities are self-expressive and outgoing. Cardinal modes are initiatory and get things going. How would you mix these traits with the characteristics of Jupiter (search for meaning, luck, expansion, and philosophy)? Also note that if a sign (ex. Aries) is ruled by a planet (ex. Mars) and that planet is in its own sign when you are born, the effect of those characteristics is amplified. |
