QUADRUPLICITY OF THE SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC
CARDINAL –FIXED – COMMON
Astrology indeed is very fascinating when you consider the characteristics of the Sun-sign in our life or the Rising-sign and most importantly your Moon-sign. Consider the nature of the Ascendant (Rising-Sign). The ascendant in actual fact tells of the person before you, it portrays you the person and how you carry yourself in your daily and informal life and that is the way the public see and describes you. The image the public see in you is your person-a-lity, which is described as a mask on which the real being(spirit) expresses himself and therefore the public judge of the person from the way he expresses and carry himself in his environment and his interaction with people.
Yea so its all about the Personality,
Personality traits can be grouped under
three categories.
Extroverts, Introverts, Ambiverts
Mythology explains that these were the three classes of people who were represented for the ancient games on mount Olympus, these games were organized in honour of the Zeus the Greek god, a game that last for 5 days at every four years, modern day Olympics is a replica of the ancient games.
The first group are those who took part in the contest,
then those who came to buy and sell and
then those who were the spectators.
These are symbolically the three categories of humanity
These three categories of human types are astrologically described under
Cardinal signs,
Fixed signs and
Common signs.
In-fact we derive these from the divisions of the twelve signs of the Zodiac into three groups of four signs each.
Every human being’s horoscope contains:
CARDINAL FIXED COMMON
Aries–Fire Taurus-Earth Gemini – Air
Cancer-Water Leo – Fire Sagittarius - Fire
Libra- Air Scorpio-Water Virgo - Earth
Capricorn-Earth Aquarius–Air Pisces - Water
