The 12 Zodiac Signs
Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign the Sun occupied on the day you were born. It's the placement most people know — but it's only one of many in a full natal chart. Your Moon, Rising and every other planet add just as much to the picture.
Elements and modalities
Each sign pairs one of four elements — Fire, Earth, Air, Water — describing its basic temperament, with one of three modalities describing how it handles change: Cardinal signs start things, Fixed signs sustain them, and Mutable signs adapt them.
Momentum, faith and self-assertion.
Practicality, patience and tangible results.
Language, perspective and conceptual distance.
Feeling, memory and instinctive attunement.
