Life on Earth is incredibly diverse. However, every species under the Sun contains DNA – which act as instructions as to how the individual should be developed, starting from the embryonic stage, continuing until death. DNA is responsible for the growth and development of our physical bodies, and so much more.
DNA, while producing vast differences from organism to organism, and species to species, is composed from the altering sequences of four nucleotides.
Metaphorically, the Zodiac Signs can be similarly – they’re all different and unique, but are composed of various combinations of Modality, Triplicity, Duality, and Polarity.
Categories
• Modalities
o Also called “quadruplicates” because it’s groups of four
o Represents how they interact with the world
o Cardinal
o Also called “elements”
o Groups of three
o Represents how they express energies, temperaments, basic personality traits
o Fire
o Dual nature of the Signs
o Different Astrologers refer to the two sides as Masculine/Feminine, Assertive/Passive, Positive/Negative, Yin/Yang, Introverted/Extroverted, etc, but regardless of the name, the implications are the same.
o Represent how the signs express themselves, and whether they tend to focus on the internal or external world
o Masculine
o Six groups, each containing two signs
o Also called “Complimentary” or “Opposite” Signs, as they rest on opposite sides of the Zodiac Cycle
o Each pair have similar goals, values, and objectives, with different approaches to them
In traditional Astrology, there also several other ways of classifying the Signs.
Ascending & Descending
The Ascending Signs are Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, and Gemini. These are the Signs through which the solar system bodies approach the North celestial pole, wherein the declination of the Sun is increasing.
Northern & Southern Signs
Bestial & Human
Bestial Signs are those named after animals Aries (Ram), Taurus (Bull), Leo (Lion), Scorpio (Scorpion), Capricorn (Sea-Goat), and the last half of Sagittarius (Centaur).
The Human Signs are Gemini (Twins), Virgo (Virgin), Aquarius (Water-bearer), and the first half of Sagittarius (Centaur).
Bicorporal
These are the double bodied, or dual, Signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Equinoctial & Tropical
The Equinoctial Signs are Aries and Libras, as they are marked by the Sun’s passing of the Equinox at the beginning of Spring and Autumn.
The Tropical Signs are Cancer and Capricorn, as they are marked because they “limit” the course of the Sun, which reverses its direction after entrance therein. The Sun’s passing over the Tropic of Cancer announces the beginning of Summer, and the Days begin to shorten. The Sun’s passing over the Tropic of Cancer announces the beginning of Winter, and the Days begin to lengthen.
