Principals of Astrology

This chart here shows the many patterns of the Astrological customs and how they align with their essential Principal Focuses.

In the Philosophy of Trinities, the concept imposes that there are three main concerns of which are of Personal, Social, and Universal focus. This philosophy has been applied to other philosophic and occult practices, such as the Planes in Kabbala, the Principals in Alchemy, and to the Modes in Astrology. That which is of a Personal Focus is usually Self-Concentrated, Basic, and is Idealistic and Initiative, while that which is of a Social Focus is Communicative, Blended, and Unified in Stable Balance, where that which is of a Universal Focus is Broad, Complex, and Encompassing in greatness.

In Astrology, there are many concepts such as Elements, Qualities, Polarities, Houses, etc., all of which are in cycles and patterns that help define the traits of the Zodiac Signs. There are Twelve Houses that preoccupy the Signs and their Ruling Planets respectively:

I: Aries & Mars = Personal
II: Taurus & Venus = Personal
III: Gemini & Mercury = Personal
IV: Cancer & Moon = Personal
V: Leo & Sun = Social
VI: Virgo & Mercury = Social
VII: Libra & Venus = Social
VIII: Scorpio & Mars (Pluto) = Social
IX: Sagittarius & Jupiter = Universal
X: Capricorn & Saturn = Universal
XI: Aquarius & Saturn (Uranus) = Universal
XII: Pisces & Jupiter (Neptune) = Universal

That which is of Self and Passion, Money and Possessions, Communication and Knowledge, and Emotion and Family are of a Personal Focus for they concern one's inner stand point, as that which involves Ego and Pleasure, Analysis and Health, Love and Partnership, and Power and Sex are of a Social Focus as they are interactive with others, where all that is of Luck and Philosophy, Karma and Career, Rebellion and Friendship, and Illusion and Subconscious is of a Universal Focus for they are all concerns of everything around.

Every Zodiac Sign is attributed a classical Element that is said to be the overall behavior of their essence. There are Four Elements that Trine three Signs in good compatibility:

Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius = Personal
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn = Social
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius = Social
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces = Universal

That which is Ambitious and Intuitional are Personally concerned since they are Light, Active and Positive as that which is Emotional and Feeling are Universally concerned where they are Dark, Passive and Negative. That which is Intellectual and Thinking as well as Practical and Sensational are Socially connected as they are all harmonized with both Light & Dark, Active & Passive, and Positive & Negative forces.

(In Polarities, each Element is divided as either Personally Masculine (Fire & Air) or Universally Feminine (Earth & Water), as all that is Gas and Plasma is Personal since they are non-material energies of quality and are Yang, and all that is Solid and Liquid is Universal since they are forms of matter of quantity and are Yin. However, since Air & Earth are Social in essence thier Polarities of Yin & Yang are only secondary traits.)

Most importantly of all, there are the Quality Modes that directly correspond to the overall philosophy of the Three Principals. Each of the Signs are Squared by one of the three qualities with incompatibility:

Cardinal: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn = Personal
Fixed: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius = Social
Mutable: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces = Universal

The Cardinal Signs are Initiative, Active, and Idealistic as the Mind and Soul, where the Fixed Signs are Consistent, Concentrated and Stable as the Body, and the Mutable Signs are Flexible, Adaptable and Recessive as the Spirit.

The computarized voice kinda makes it hard to concentrate lol

[RCDeschene]

@SweetnSourBeauty I know it's crap. XD

That's why I have it in text in the description. I originally had this in a different voive that had speed control, but too many people complained that it sounded weird...

[echoimpulsivesound]

Do you know how well earth and fire, fire and air, and air and earth are supposed to work together

[RCDeschene]

@echoimpulsivesound Fire & Air are always stated to be in good compatibility due to their "Masculine" socially energetic natures. Fire & Earth usually not as much, but they do however literally share a lot of ground in personal and physical-oriented consciousness (Air & Water being lofted in Universal and mental-oriented consciousness). Earth & Air are an Elemental opposite which usually indicates just that, opposition.

However, because many of the Signs elementally share traditional co-ruling domiciles, they can balance each other out quite well.

@atvman1014 yeah I'm late how'd you figure that out?

[RCDeschene]

@atvman1014 Usually people with Libra and/or Taurus in thier major positions hvery much incontrol of themselves mentally & physically, plus while Taurus can be rash and Libra can be reactive, both can often be emotionally managed on a social level.

[atvman1014]

@RCDeschene what do you mean self contained?

[RCDeschene]

@Cybelian83 Correct.

So if you're a Sidereal Astrologer, I'm interested to know how would you incorporate Ophiuchus into the system of corrispondences.

[RCDeschene]

@Cybelian83 Then you are a Scorpio. Again, You really shoulden't base your astrological reference on Astronomical sciences unless you're a into sidereal Astrology, which Eastern anyway. Though I don't know why you'd be called a Cusp. You're a good handful of days from the cusp point to be one.
