In Western tropical astrology, there are always 12 astrological signs. Each of the four elements is associated with 3 Zodiac signs which are always located exactly 120 degrees from each other along the ecliptic and are said to be in the trine with each other. Most modern astrologers use the four elements of classics extensively, (also known as triplicities) and are still seen as an important part in interpreting astrological charts.

It starts with the first sign of Aries which is a Fire sign, next in the Taurus line is Earth, then to the Gemini the Air, and finally to the Water Cancer. This cycle continues on two more occasions and ends with the twelfth and final astrological sign, Pisces. The elemental ruler for the twelve signs of astrology of the zodiac (according to Marcus Manilius) is summarized as follows:

• Fire - 1 - Aries; 5 - Leo; 9 - Sagittarius - hot, dry, vibrant
• Earth - 2 - Taurus; 6 - Virgo; 10 - Capricorn - heavy, cold, dry
• Air - 3 - Gemini; 7 - Libra; 11 - Aquarius - light, hot, wet
• Water - 4 - Cancer; 8 - Scorpio; 12 - Pisces - cool, wet, soft

Mastery of the trouble line

In traditional astrology, each triplicity has several planetary rulers, that change with sect conditions - that is, whether the graph is a daily chart or a night graph. The mastery of tribal hubs is an important important dignity - one of the few factors used by traditional astrologers to weigh the strength, effectiveness, and integrity of each planet in the chart.

Mastery of greed (using the "Dorothean system") is as follows:

"Participating" rulers were not used by Ptolemy, as well as some later astrologers in later traditions that followed his approach.

Triplicities by season

In ancient astrology, triplicities are more seasonal, so the seasons are given the quality of an element, which means signs associated with that season will be allocated to that element. The ancient elements of astrology are as follows:

• Spring (wet to hot) - Air - Aquarius, Libra, Gemini
• Summer (hot to dry) - Fire - Sagittarius, Leo, Aries
• Autumn (dry to cold) - Earth - Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn
• Winter (cold to wet) - Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Using seasonal quality accounts for the difference in expressions between the same elemental signs. All the fire signs are hot and dry. However, the addition of elemental qualities from the season produces the distinction between fire marks. Leo being a mid-summer sign gets a double dose of hot and dry and is a pure fire sign, but Aries becomes a wet Spring sign (hot & dry, hot & wet), and Sagittarius becomes a sign of a cooler Winter (hot & amp; dry, cold & dry).

In the Southern Hemisphere the seasonal cycle is reversed.

This produces secondary and tertiary elements for each sign.

This association is not given significance in modern astrology, although they stand out in modern Western Ceremonial Magic, neopaganism, druidism and wicca.

Elements in modern astrology

In modern astrology each element is associated with different astrological signs.

Because Fire is the first element that begins with Aries, so it is the most basic element, while water that becomes the last element in the order of astrological elements is considered the most advanced.

Indian astrology

Indian astrology has the same system with Western astrology that connects the signs of the zodiac with elements.

In addition, in Vedic thought each of the five planets is associated with elements (with ether as the fifth). It is said in the Vedas that everything comes from one basic vibration "Om" or "Aum." From the "Om" the five elements appear to represent five different tattoms (or elements). The five planets represent these five vibrations - Jupiter for Ether, Saturn for Water, Mars for Fire, Mercury for Earth, and Venus for Water.

In many areas of traditional Chinese theory, things and stages of developmental development can be classified into Wu Xing. They are the rulers of Jupiter, Green, East and Spring, Mars rulers Red, Southern and Summer, Mars Ruler Saturn, Yellow, Middle and Last Summer, Metal Ruler Venus, White, West and Autumn and Mercury's water , Black, North and Winter. Note that Wu Xing is primarily an ancient mnemonic device for systems with 5 stages, rather than the idea of ​​different types of materials. For more information, see Wu Xing.

^a Ptolemy then modifies the triplicity water derivative, makes Mars's water triplicity for day and night graphs - and William Lilly agrees.
