The Zodiac Signs
The fact is, the attributes of each sign are not random,
and they are not something you only have to memorize.
These signs are linked one to another in meaning, just
as they are linked one to another in the heavens. In
other words, each sign leads to the next sign, and the
following sign is the continuation of the previous sign—it
is one continuous process.
Over the years, I have discovered that it is much easier
for students to take the time to understand how the
signs came to be and how they work, than to simply try
and memorize all of the keywords and what-not. It also
takes less time. Best of all, once you learn the history
and meaning behind the signs—and once you
understand how the circle of the signs works—you can
generate your own keywords and, from then on, not
have to memorize anything.
So, I will give you the choice here of memorizing the
keywords or of learning how the cycle of the signs
actually works. Those of you who would like to study
lists of attributes for each sign can check out that
section, while those of you who want to learn how these
attributes are generated can do that. Probably looking at
both won't hurt.
Zodiac Correspondences: Part 1
As we study astrology or any of the divinatory arts, we
discover analogies here and there, sometimes whole
sets of them. These have been termed
"correspondences," and they go way back in time. The
signs of the zodiac have a great number of
correspondences. For example, the zodiac sign Cancer
is said to correspond with the emerald, a precious gem,
