(1) The opposite point in the zodiac to the Sun position in any nativity may be spoken of as
its Sun's polarity; usually employed in the harmonization of two maps.
(2) Since opposing signs are said to complement each other, any diameter can be termed a
polarity. It is through this principle that Air and Fire signs are deemed more harmonious,
since belonging to the same polarity. Similarly with the Water and Earth signs. This
polarization of two groups through the polarization of one member of each group is illustrated
in Solomon's Seal (q.v.) a six pointed star produced by the juxtaposition of two triangles.
(3) In any one nativity, polarity as used by Leo refers to a relationship between the Sun and
Moon positions; viz., Sun in Leo, as polarized by the Moon in Libra. The basic thought is
probably that a life revolves around an axis which has as one pole its Sun destiny, and the
other pole its Moon desires, the character of the polarization dependent upon the degree of
harmony or disharmony that exists between the signs positing the two luminaries.
