Modes of Expression

Outward (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): The Cardinal signs initiate the seasons. People imbued with many planets in these signs are experts at activation, creation, and expression. They love doing things and initiating projects and situations. They’re not so great at following through unless they also have planets in the Inward mode of expression. Their true gifts involve generation energy! A deficiency of the Outward mode can indicate a lack of drive and initiative or impatience.

Activating Creating Expanding Animating Invigorating

Inward (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): The Fixed signs are characterized by source or seed wisdom. They are the masters of the elements and excel at harnessing power and sustaining projects and situations. They are strong at empowering others as well as utilizing resources to construct and concentrate life. They are the four living creatures before the throne of God in the Biblical account, the Lion, the Bull, the Man and the Eagle. Taken to the extreme they can be stubborn, rigid, obsessed.

Harnessing Utilizing Contracting Empowering Penetrating

Spiral (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): The Mutable signs are the educators and seekers of the zodiac. They excel at discovering the meaning that underlies life events and distributing knowledge and insight. They are naturally reflective and contemplative, able to penetrate to the core of any situation and learn from the experience. These signs are skilled at accelerating people’s evolution and evolving fields of wisdom. They are masters of adaptation but can become scattered, depleted, and restless.

Seeking Adapting Distributing Demonstrating Evolving

Elements of BeingFire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): These people are full of charisma, longevity, and vitality. Their character’s exude confidence and inspiration

and their bodies enjoy action, energy expression, and motion. They are strong in the physical and spiritual realms, acting as conduits between them. The Fire element animates people, and a person deficient in it can lack zest and energy. Taken to the extreme, fiery people can be impulsive, aggressive, egocentric, and fanatical. People blessed with Fire are here to be living beacons of warmth, creativity, daring, and optimism. They are both enterpris-ing and courageous, spirited and inspired.

Identity Competition Leadership Will Vitality

Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): These people are grounded and full of practical wisdom and a deep reverence for nature and the world of things. They excel at manipulating forms, living in the “real world”, and creating, maintaining, and improving structures and organizations. Of all the elemental types, they thrive in the physical dimension. They are usually very sensual and present. The Earth element brings industriousness, and a person deficient in it can lack the ability to cope with responsibilities. Taken to the extreme, earthy people can be rigid, controlling, possessive, and overly cautious. People blessed with earth are natural builders and crafts folk, skilled at organizing daily life.

Form Resources Values Organizations Nature

Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): These people are brainy, blessed with intelligence and communication/conception abilities. Their focus in life is the mental realm of ideas, awareness, and knowledge. They are very diplomatic as a result because they see the interconnectedness of life. They thrive in any situation that requires thinking abilities and are experts in the domain of mind and socializing. The Air element produces brilliance, and a person deficient in it can lack perspective and logic. Taken to the extreme, airy people can be “air-headed”, inconsistent, scattered, and indecisive. People blessed with Air ar here to enliven us with intellect.

Expression Knowledge Innovation Alliance Activism

Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): These people are adepts at emotional expression. They are gifted healers, empaths, and nurturers, con-cerned with the welfare of others. You can sense their inward, silent connection to soul forces and the realm of imagination and dreams. They thrive in realms of feeling expression and are usually very visionary, psychic, and compassionate. The Water element bonds people together and sustains us, and a person deficient in it can be unsympathetic, cold, and aloof. Taken to the extreme, watery people can be overprotective, clinging, insecure, and secretive. People blessed with Water are flowing masters of change, able to sustain our dreams and dissolve our wounds.

DignitiesEvery Sign of the Zodiac is governed by a particular planet. The Sun and Moon govern Leo and Cancer, while each of the other five trditional Planets govern two signs each, as shown in the central diagram above. When doing interpretations it’s important to remember that a planet creates an image-bridge between the House it oc-cupies and the House(s) it governs. There is a vivid archetypal flow of imagery happening behind the scenes.

DecansEach Sign is also divided into three ten-degree segments called decans, illustrated in the outer wheel above. The planet that governs the Sign also governs the first decan. Then the planet that governs the next Sign of the same Element going counter-clockwise around the Zodiac (the way planets transit) happens to govern the middle decan. Then the planet that governs the remaining Sign governs the last decan. Decans symbolize the dimen-sion of Emotional Desire (what they really want) and add yet another layer to the interpretation of planets.

The Tao begot one. One begot two. Two begot three. And three begot the ten-thousand things. The ten-thousand things carry yin and embrace yang. They achieve harmony by combining their forces.
