The 12 Zodiac Signs
A sign is not a personality. It is a manner: the way a planet behaves when it lands there. Read by element first, because that is the layer most people feel before they can name it.
Fire
Signs that move first and ask later. Initiative, appetite, and the nerve to begin.
Earth
Signs that build something you can stand on. Patience, form, and the long view.
Air
Signs that think in relation. Language, perspective, and the space between people.
Water
Signs that read what is not being said. Memory, attachment, and depth.

A sign describes the manner. The planet describes the function, and the house describes the territory.
