NORTHERN :: SOUTHERN. Northern, or Commanding Signs constitute the first six, Aries to Virgo
inclusive since planets posited therein are said to command, while those in the opposite Signs obey. They are
considered to be more powerful because nearer to our Earth, hence by some are presumed to confer the ability
to command. The scientist who first applied the term possibly and perhaps properly assumed that this portion
of the Earth's orbit lay above the plane of the Sun's orbit. The Southern, or Obeying Signs are those from Libra
to Pisces inclusive.
