The Polarities (Genders)
Dividing the signs into masculine and feminine genders, or polarities, has always caused some confusion. In society's terms, those terms are synonymous with male (manly) and female (womanly). However, in the Arts and Sciences we use these terms to define energy forms. A masculine energy is active, aggressive, and very linear. Feminine energy is receptive, magnetic, and non-linear.
Quadrature
Quadrature designates how the energy flows with a particular sign. In other words, it describes how the sign will act and react to other energy. This is broken down into three forms: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Cardinal signs vibrate energies that initiate change and new beginnings, as represented by the fact that the Sun passes through them during the first month of each season. Cardinal signs tend to react in bursts of energy.
Fixed signs tend to be very thorough and seem unstoppable. The Sun passes through Fixed signs during the second month of every season. They may rally for change, but tend to resist that change once it's upon them. They represent the energies that endure. They tend to persevere at all costs until tasks, goals, or aims are achieved.
The Sun passes through Mutable signs during the third month of each season. Mutable energies are versatile, flexible, and changeable. They can also be fickle, erratic, and inconstant. This is representative of their placement, as they are responsible for clearing out the old, outdated to make way for the new, while ensuring that those energies which should remain are preserved.
The Elements
Most of us know the Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The qualities that these energies hold within our Circles and work are the same energies that are manifested through the signs. Hence, Fire signs are active, action-oriented, attract attention, and love spontaneity. They corresond to the spirit and the spiritual side of life.
Air signs are the mental signs of the Zodiac. They represent thought and intellectualism. Like Air, they are light, elusive to the point of seeming aloof at times, and uncontainable. They love conversation, communication, technology, and social gatherings.
Earth signs are the solid, grounding energies of the Zodiac. The energies here are supportive and practical. Their focus is on what we often consider the mundane aspects of life such as food, shelter, and responsibilities.
Water signs represent the emotional side of our nature. Like our emotions, these signs are changeable, subtle, and tend to be very tuned into their intuitions. They can walk into a room, guage the mood of the room, and adjust their behavior accordingly.
