The 12 Zodiac Signs

"Zodaikos" is Greek for "circle of animals".  Zodiac Signs signify how life is guided, through personality, manner, and energy.

​

Each sign has their element, quality, and polarity, which are all very helpful in understanding the signs' significations and similarities.

​

The Zodiac Signs represent 30° of sky on the ecliptic (the path the Sun travels from Earth's perspective). Each sign relates to the change of lightness and darkness throughout a solar year and how this energy changes and manifests throughout seasons.
