The Zodiac and its 12 Signs by Naomi Bennett Free daily horoscopes, weekly horoscopes, and monthly horoscopes and includes a collection of astrology and related sites on the web. The twelve signs of the zodiac have their origin in ancient Babylon and Egypt but other zodiacs are found around the world on all continents. They share similarities in motif, the division of twelve signs, and the four elements of water, earth, fire and air.
Sacred geometry is prevalent in the arrangement of the signs.
The Fire and Air signs are future oriented while the Water and Earth signs are past oriented. The ancients called them male or female. They are evenly distributed as alternating pairs of past and future around the zodiac circle. Each element has three signs that are always 120 apart to create four triplicities. This arrangement creates pairs of duality, triplets of elements and quardranties of the crosses of cardinal, fixed and mutable.
