Difference between revisions of "Category:Zodiac"

There are of course twelve constellations in the zodiac, one presiding over each month of the Avarian year. Each is associated with a particular ruling element, planet, metal, and modality, and exerts its own defining influence over those born beneath its sign. The zodiac constellations follow the line of the ecliptic, dipping above and back below the horizon with the changing seasons. As sun signs, the signs of the zodiac represent the constellation in which the sun happened to be located in at the time of a person's birth.

Modality

The modality of a sign indicates the fundamental manner in which it resonates with the Song. This affects how it tends to act and react, approach problems, and deal with other people, besides influencing the general tenor of its temperament. The three modalities are consonant, dissonant, and resolute.

Consonant

Keywords: Driven, consistent, willful, single-minded, proactive.

Consonant signs are the active and strong-willed signs of the zodiac -- sometimes to the point of being stubborn and inflexible. They have driven and dynamic personalities and typically prefer to lead rather than follow, or to simply go their own headstrong way. They excel in situations where energy, focus, and singleness of purpose can lead them to victory.

Dissonant

Keywords: Changeable, adaptable, contradictory, unpredictable, reactive.

Dissonant signs tend to be the more reactive and sensitive signs of the zodiac, which can give them great flexibility and empathy but can also make them vacillating and contradictory. They are less inclined than other signs to be the initiators of action or relationships, but are not truly passive nor necessarily followers. They are quite adaptable to changing needs and circumstances and find it easier to change course than other signs.

Resolute

Keywords: Ingenious, unconventional, original, strength in flexibility.

The term "resolute" does not apply to resolve in the sense of a fixed determination; rather, it implies the ability to resolve seemingly conflicting or opposed strains of thought, opinion, or action. Resolute signs often have a slightly unconventional mindset that allows them to devise innovative solutions to problems of all kinds. Original as they tend to be, resolute signs are sometimes misunderstood by other signs in the zodiac.
