Description
This chart here shows the many patterns of the Astrological customs and how they align with their essential Classical Elements.In the Philosophy of Quadralities, the concept imposes that there are four main essential substances of which are of either a Fire, Earth, Air, or Water Elemental. This philosophy has been applied to other philosophic and occult practices, such as the Worlds in Kabbalah, the Humors in Alchemy, and to the Elements in Astrology. That which is of a Fire Elemental is Ambitious, Intuitional and Willing, where that which is of an Earth Elemental is Practical, Sensational and Physical, as that which is of an Air Elemental is Intellectual, Mental and Thinking while that which is of a Water Elemental is Emotional, Spiritual, and Feeling.
In Astrology, there are many concepts such as Seasons, the Elements themselves, Qualities, Polarities, etc., all of which are in cycles and patterns that help define the traits of the Zodiac. There are Twelve Signs that are patterned into Four Quadrants as cycled through the yearly Seasons:
I: Aries = Spring
II: Taurus = Spring
III: Gemini = Spring
IV: Cancer = Summer
V: Leo = Summer
VI: Virgo = Summer
VII: Libra = Autumn
VIII: Scorpio = Autumn
IX: Sagittarius = Autumn
X: Capricorn = Winter
XI: Aquarius = Winter
XII: Pisces = Winter
That which is in Spring is of the Elemental of Air, as Spring is Wet and Hot as it is the Season where the Earth revives of life and becomes Active; that which is in the Summer is of the Elemental of Fire, as Summer is Hot and Dry as it is the Season where the Earth's temperature is increased; that which is in Autumn is of the Elemental of Earth, as Autumn is Dry and Cold as it is the Season where the Earth dies of life and becomes Passive; and that which is in Winter is the of the Elemental of Water, as Winter is Cold and Wet as it is the Season where the Earth's temperature is decreased.
In the philosophy of the Tarot and in the religion of Wicca, the Elements of the Seasons are attributed according to the Initiating Sign of the Season:
Spring: Aries, Taurus, Gemini = Fire
Summer: Cancer, Leo, Virgo = Water
Autumn: Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius = Air
Winter: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces = Earth
Spring is Intuitional and Willing as the Wand that Forces in leading Emanation, while Summer is Spiritual and Feeling as the Cup that Patterns in supporting Creation, where Autumn is Mental and Thinking as the Sword that Activates in following Formation and Winter is Vital and Sensing as the Coin that Forms in resulting Materialization.
Each Zodiac Sign is attributed one of the Three Quality Modes of either Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable. In the Kabbalic Hebrew concept of the Three Mothers, each figure is empowered with one of the Three main Elementals:
Cardinal: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn = Fire
Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius = Air
Mutable: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces = Water
The Cardinal Quality is Initiative, Active and Personal as the Creatively Adolescent Soul, the Fixed Quality is Consistent, Stable and Social as the Physically Mature Body, and the Mutable Quality is Flexible, Passive and Universal as the Intellectually Elder Spirit.
Most importantly of all, every Zodiac is attributed with the Four Classical Elements themselves which are said to be the essential behavior of the Signs. Each Sign is correlated in a cycling Elemental pattern that Trines them in good compatibility:
Fire = Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth = Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air = Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water = Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
That which is of Fire is Ambitious, Egotistic and Philosophic as the Masculine King Father, where that which is of Earth is Practical, Material and Serviceable as the Feminine Page Daughter, while that which is of Air is Intellectual, Rebellious and Communicative as the Masculine Knight Son, as that which is of Water is Emotional, Sexual and Illusionary as the Feminine Queen Mother.

Don't be offended by this.
I was born in June, the summer, and I'm a Gemini.
The first day of Summer is the 1st of May and the last day is 1st of August.
Therefore making Gemini from May to June a Summer Sign and Virgo an Autumn Sign and so on!

What calender says this? The Seasons are observed and proportioned for every three months, marked by the orbital points of the Equinox's and the Solstices respectively. That's the whole point to the Cardinal Signs, aka, the Initiators, who begin the periods of thier respective Seasons.

As you can see there, Libra a lot of major Air power in his pattern. That means you are very Socially Intellegent and because this is mingled with a power alligned with Fire, specifically your Cardinal Quality, this Social attribute is very fundimentally Ambitious and Active.
In this fashion, libra is the "Fire of Air", so to speak, the "Soul Thinking".

Aries the Ram. You're the First one. You're Element is Fire but you are eruptive and quick-tempered like the Hot Wet Lava in a volcano. You are ruled by the Planet Mars and Elementally contrast with Scorpio the Water Scorpion who is Cold and Dry as Ice...

Well, as I explain in the chart discription as well as express in the chart itself, the Zodiac Signs are corresponded to the concept of the Four Elements of in which connet certain Signs in particular Trinities; that is to say, each Element is the power of three particular Zodiac Signs. However, the thing is, each of the Signs express thier Elemental powers in certain aspects just as the Four Elements of Fire, Earth, Air and Water themselves come in many different forms in nature:
Fire: Aries (Lava), Leo (Light), Sagittarius (Fire)
Earth: Taurus (Earth), Virgo (Nature), Capricorn (Stone)
Air: Gemini (Lightning), Libra (Wind), Aquarius (Space)
Water: Cancer (Darkness), Scorpio (Ice), Pisces (Water)
In the heat of Fire there are the substances of Lava and Light, in the plains of Earth there are Natural Flora and Crystalized Stones, in the atmospheres of Air there is Lightning and Cosmic Space, and in the depths of Water there is Ice and the shade of Darkness.
Now in Traditional Astrology, there only the "Seven Naked-Eye Planets" that ruled the Signs themselves inwhich were the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Since there are Twelve Zodiacal Signs and there only Seven Planets, there had to be a co-rulership between between certain Zodiacs with the exception of the Sun & Moon, since they are the two Divine Celestial Spheres. This co-rulership went in a mirrored paralell with Signs of contrasting Elements:
Sun = Leo (Fire)
Moon = Cancer (Water)
Mercury = Gemini/Virgo (Air/Earth)
Venus = Taurus/Libra (Earth/Air)
Mars = Aries/Scorpio (Fire/Water)
Jupiter = Sagittarius/Pisces (Fire/Water)
Saturn = Capricorn/Aquarius (Earth/Air)

That's really cool! OwO Hey, do you know if the Zodiac has any connection to the 7 Deadly Sins? I got a list that tells me which sign goes with which sin. Not sure if it's acurate though since I'm no pro with this stuff. @w@?

RCDeschene In reply to kishira-sama [2009-05-25 15:09:59 +0000 UTC]
The Seven Deadly Sins? I would definately think so! 8D
Well, if anything, since we're talking about the power of Seven the most likely corrispondence would be with the Seven Traditional Planetary Rulers of Sun (Leo), Moon (Cancer), Mercury (Gemini/Virgo), Venus (Taurus/Libra), Mars (Aries/Scorpio), Jupiter (Sagittarius/Pisces) and Saturn (Capricorn/Aquarius).
But I would most definately like to see this list of yours. 83

Huh... That's pretty interesting. Where did you get that from?
There are a lot I agree with, others I find strange.
I'm surprised that Gemini and Pisces would be Greed. Especially how Pisces are actually very known to by such selfless mayters. I personally would replace those two with Taurus and Capricorn. Greed is directly one of the greatest sins of the Earth Element. Taurus is very Materialistic and Capricorn is the littary the Corporate Devil. I can also see Taurus as Gluttony and I can agree with Just to an extent, because Taurus' are in fact indulgent in both food and body. XD
I'm not sure about Sagittarius, but I can definately see Scorpio as Envy. Scorpios are extremely vengful.
Scorpio is also actually the Sign of Sexuality, so Lust would be one of its major sins. But like I said, I can also agree that Taurus is physically sexual, and so is Virgo! Ironically, Virgos tend to have the biggest issues with sexuality.
Pride is absolutely the grand sin of Leo! I can see Libra somewhere in that catagory as well. Libras have this narsasistic habbit of actings like they know everything due to there rash Judgementaliam.
Also, Libras are very lazy and for more Slothful than any Capricorn. Capricorns are the bigget business scedual mongers!
As for Wrath, I question Aquarius, but I coulden't agree more wit Aries. Aries are the most firey of the Fire Signs. Aquarius is very humanitarian and peace loving.
