The TRIPLICITIES & QUADRUPLICITIES of the ZODIAC SIGNS

Each ZODIAC SIGN has unique qualities and characteristics that are specific to that sign. These qualities are influencers for how an individual born under that sign will behave in the various circumstances of living… what will be felt, thought, said, and done according to the experience. An individual has all 12 ZODIAC SIGNS influencing that behavior, according to the positioning of the signs (and the planets) within their horoscope at the time of birth.

Each of the 12 ZODIAC SIGNS is 30° of the ZODIAC WHEEL, and they are grouped into two fundamental arrangements called TRIPLICITIES and QUADRUPLICITIES.

The TRIPLICITIES deal with tendencies of the temperament and correspond to the ELEMENTS of nature (fire, earth, air, water). There are three ZODIAC SIGNS in each TRIPLICITY with three ZODIAC SIGNS separating each (120°; called the TRINE ASPECT).

The QUADRUPLICITIES deal with the basic modes of expression of the temperament in the various areas of life (cardinal, fixed, mutable). There are four ZODIAC SIGNS in each QUADRUPLICITY with two ZODIAC SIGNS separating each (90°; called the SQUARE ASPECT).

The CARDINAL INGRESS is the entry of the SUN into one of the ZODIAC SIGNS of the CARDINAL QUADRUPLICITY (beginning of the FOUR SEASONS):

• VERNAL EQUINOX (Spring) — MAR 20 — ARIES
• SUMMER SOLSTICE — JUN 21 — CANCER
• FALL EQUINOX — SEP 23 — LIBRA
• WINTER SOLSTICE — DEC 22 — CAPRICORN

Each sign has its strengths and weaknesses, having unique characteristics, desires, attitudes, and manners of approaching life and other people. Those signs sharing an elemental association (TRIPLICITY) are naturally compatible. AIR signs are compatible with FIRE signs and EARTH signs with WATER signs. 

One must consider the qualities of the ZODIAC SIGN of the individual in conjunction with the tendencies that are also unique to the TRIPLICITIES and the QUADRUPLICITIES of their sign in order to gain the best understanding of that person. Better understanding of self and others facilitates a more harmonious and joyful life experience.

12 SIGNS of the ZODIAC WHEEL

There are 12 ZODIAC SIGNS that follow the specific order of:

ARIES – TAURUS – GEMINI – CANCER – LEO – VIRGO – LIBRA – SCORPIO – SAGITTARIUS – CAPRICORN – AQUARIUS – PISCES

The ZODIAC YEAR begins on the VERNAL EQUINOX at 0° of the ZODIAC WHEEL, corresponding with ARIES’ beginning date of March 21st, thus making ARIES the 1st SIGN of the ZODIAC. The SIGNS are arranged in a circle in the order of how they follow each other around the ZODIAC, beginning with the first sign of ARIES and arranged in a counter-clockwise order.

Each SIGN is 30° of the 360° in the ZODIAC WHEEL. The line dividing one sign from another is called a “cusp”. People “born on the cusp”… either on the last date of one sign or the first date of the next sign… are prone to having the characteristics of both signs. Each of the ZODIAC SIGNS represent both positive and negative characteristics of human behavior and development.

Be able to name the SIGNS of the ZODIAC in the appropriate order. Know the names of the SIGNS forward, backward, and starting with any sign. Be able to name a sign by seeing just its glyph. Know each sign's direct opposite on the ZODIAC WHEEL. (Example: Gemini is the direct opposite of Sagittarius.) Know the dates of the ZODIAC SIGNS so that just hearing someone give their birthday, you immediately know the answer to the ever popular ice-breaker, "What's your sign?".

NOTE: Three glyphs are used to represent CAPRICORN. Be familiar with them all; use the one that speaks most to you.

What Is Astrology & Why It Is Relevant to Understand It?

Astrology and astronomy are as old as time itself and can be traced back to Atlantis and the ancient civilizations that sprang from its destruction. Man has used the skies to track the seasons for the best times to plant, harvest, work, rest, reproduce, etc. What once served as a necessary tool for living life well has slowly been allowed to slip away as having little, if any, relevance to life on this plane of existence. A sad loss of information and perhaps the beginning of man’s decent into daily chaos.

Often described as “occult” beliefs, astrology is not a religion or a belief system. It is more accurately science. When one begins to understand that energy is the driving force of existence... nothing can exist in the material reality without energy... and then understand how different energies are constantly influencing human life and behavior, better understanding of these forces can bring a better sense of self and perhaps then be able to answer questions such as “why am I here?”...  “What is my purpose?”.

In studying astrology, one must understand that the planets in this solar system each have a unique energetic property and that as these planets travel through their orbital path around the Sun and in relation to the Earth, their energy affects all life on this planet... animal, plant, mineral... all life. Don’t forget... it’s all energy!

The planetary alignments at the time of one’s birth influence the character, personality, and behaviors of that individual throughout their lifetime. A person’s “Sun Sign” (the answer to the classic social opener, “What’s your sign?”) will give a basic understanding of that individual. All people born under the same Sun Sign will have generally similar chacteristics, but it goes beyond that. The placement of all of the planets in the sky in that moment of birth also contributes to forming who that individual is, how they think, speak, and behave.

Webster’s defines “occult” as “to shut off from view or exposure” [verb], “not revealed: secret; not easily apprehended or understood” [adjective], and “matters regarded as involving the action or influence of supernatural or supernormal powers or some secret knowledge of them” [noun]. Applying “super” to a word simply means that it goes beyond what is currently held in belief. It sounds mystical but, in truth, it only says “We don’t know what we don’t know”, and there is so much that we do not know! To shun occult knowledge with a belief that anything dealing with it is evil is to limit one’s ability to achieve enlightenment through better understanding of the environs of this life.

Now consider the word “esoteric”... “designed for or understood by the specially initiated alone; requiring or exhibiting knowledge that is restricted to a small group”.

Personally held belief is that information is revealed in life as it is needed. We become an “initiate” when asking questions to gain knowledge for the intention of better understanding and receiving the new knowledge with an open mind and heart. Life would be easier lived if a better understanding of how it works was had. That is the motivating factor driving this blog... to gain better understanding.

Welcoming all initiates to this esoteric study.

The ARCHANGELS

The archangels are sometimes referred to as being “the messengers of God”. They are divine beings of light who each have an assignment to fulfill with humanity. Each has a specific area of specialty, and each can be called upon for assistance in our lives, according to the individual's area of need. The archangels are awaiting our request(s), but we must make that request. They do not intervene unless they have been asked to do so.

Each archangel has a color and gemstone/crystal association as well as a divine purpose. Carry in your pocket the gemstone associated with the archangel of whom you have asked help... it draws that angel to you, strengthening the energy connection between yourself and the angel. Be sure to express a “thank you” to the archangel for the assistance lent to your request. 😘

Sharing in the following posts the names of those archangels that have been researched for this information.

Enjoy! And remember... ask the angels! (1 angel per post to follow)
