The 12 Houses of an astrology chart are the areas that you experience life in and how you do life.

Cusps are the doorways to these houses and the 12 signs (Aries through Pisces) show you how do this particular area of your life.

The elements are the raw materials that make up our world. In your chart or map these are the core patterns and states of consciousness represented by what your soul choose to experience this lifetime.

The elements are fire, earth, air and water.

Fire folks are motivated by aspirations and ideals and exude a great deal of warmth, energy and inspiration, they are fiery and passionate. Where do you do this in your own chart? The fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Earth folks are mainly concerned with the more practical and concrete material aspects of life, how to get things done and they are the builders. Usually quite warm and passionate people when you get to know them. Where are you this way in your chart? The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Air energy lives and breathes to connect, to flow, to continue the flow of information, both social and learning and idea wise. Air lives much in the world of visions, and inspiration and loves to do this for others, where do you do this? The air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Water is interested primarily in how things feel, how they use their intuition, feelings and emotions are the tasks at hand. Water folks are the most influenced by the ebb and flow of life and things happening outside of themselves. Where are you water in your chart? The water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Modes are the dimensions or motivators of how we change. These seem to anchor and pull our energy together. Cardinal, fixed and mutable are modes of acting, being and hanging on.

You are all of the above in many different areas of your life; there are great opportunities for growth in understanding yourself when you understand your own personal mode of operations for yourself.

Astrological signs are the filter or the costumes which planets must pass through and use to act out their mission in your life. The 12 signs of the zodiac represent the time you were born and your chart shows how they play in your life.

Actors in our lives are the Planets, wearing the signs in a house which shows how you use this energy personally.

Get a chart done or come to a class and learn about the most interesting thing in the world…YOU.
