THE WESTERN ZODIAC
The Wheel of the Sun
Twelve signs ride the golden ecliptic around the sun. Scroll to meet them all, their elements and planets, and the aspects that draw them together or apart.
UNDERSTANDING THE WHEEL
Reading the Aspects
In western astrology every sign answers to the others through four aspects, the angles between them on the wheel. Best Match is the trine you share inside one element, while Favorable is the sextile that reaches to a friendly one.
Signs of your own element, a trine of one hundred twenty degrees. The easiest and deepest rapport on the wheel.
A sextile of sixty degrees to a complementary element. Supportive and easy, it opens doors and lifts the mood.
A square of ninety degrees. Real friction that pushes and provokes, yet the tension is what forces growth.
Your opposite across the wheel, a full one hundred eighty degrees. Not a clash but a polarity, two halves that complete each other, pulling together like magnet to magnet.
