Astrology:
Each of the 12 astrological signs, belong to a certain elements in one of its states. This gives us twelve quite different basic types. These varying qualities provide the “backdrop” to the planetary positions. Each horoscope has different planets in the different signs; there can never be a “pure” Aries or a “pure” Gemini. Each horoscope is a highly individual, very complex and usually also very varied combination of parts.
In order to understand the signs, we must take into account the typical expressions of the elements, as well as the characteristics belonging to the planets associated with the signs.
