Zodiac signs
Elements, modalities and the twelve signs.
- The 12 zodiac signs: elements and modalitiesEach of the 12 zodiac signs combines one of four elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) with one of three modalities (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable), and that pairing explains much of a sign’s character.
- Zodiac sign dates: when each sign starts and what to do if you’re on the cuspThe Sun spends about a month in each zodiac sign, moving from Aries around 21 March to Pisces in February and March. If you were born within a day or two of a boundary, your birth time and place decide your Sun sign, so check your chart.
