The Zodiac Wheel Explained

The twelve signs are built from four elements (fire, earth, air and water) and three modalities (cardinal, fixed and mutable). Every sign is one unique combination.

Signs opposite each other on the wheel form natural partnerships, such as Aries and Libra or Cancer and Capricorn, each balancing what the other lacks.

Once you understand this structure, you can read any sign quickly instead of memorising long lists of traits.
