Zodiac Signs

In Astrology, there 12 zodiac signs which correlate with the 12 houses in a birth chart. Each zodiac sign has its own characteristics and reacts to planets/houses in different ways.

There are also groups called elements, they are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. Signs in the same group tend to share similar characteristics and tend to get along better with each other. This also means contrasting elements such as Water and Fire will have more of a difficulty getting along with each other.

Fire Signs - Aries, Leo, and Saggitarius
Earth Signs - Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
Air Signs - Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
Water Signs - Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces

Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable are three groups that the Zodiac Signs can be divided into. They represent how willing you are to commit or how strong your need is for variety. Cardinal signs are active, initiatory, and quick. Fixed signs are persistent, practical, and stubborn. Mutable signs are adaptable, subtle, and intuitive.
