The Signs: The “How” of Expression

Discover how the twelve zodiac signs shape, color, and give personality to the planets within the birth chart.

If the planets are the “who” of astrology, the zodiac signs reveal “how” those planetary energies express themselves. A planet tells us what part of the psyche is active, while the sign it occupies describes the style, approach, temperament, and energy through which it operates.

In this class, we’ll explore all twelve zodiac signs as distinct energetic archetypes. You’ll discover why the same planet can behave very differently depending on the sign it occupies—and begin seeing the zodiac as much more than twelve personality types.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• The core qualities, motivations, strengths, and challenges of the 12 zodiac signs

• The four elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—and how they influence temperament and expression

• The three modalities—Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable—and how they describe the way energy initiates, sustains, and adapts

• How polarity and elemental relationships reveal important patterns within the zodiac

• How a sign modifies the expression of a planet—for example, why Mars in Aries may act very differently from Mars in Cancer

• How to begin recognizing dominant signs, elements, and modalities within a natal chart

• How to move beyond memorized zodiac keywords and begin interpreting signs as dynamic expressions of energy

By the end of class, you’ll understand the signs as the “how” of the chart—the energetic lens through which each planet expresses itself.

With the planets as your cast of characters and the signs revealing how those characters behave, you’ll begin putting together the first essential pieces of the astrological story.
