This is the second episode in my astrology series. I go over the 12 signs of the zodiac and a few ways they are categorized in ancient astrology.  Previous episodes in this series:

• [05:58] Part 1: A Brief History
• [10:57] Part 2: 12 Signs of the Zodiac
• [20:10] Part 3: Planetary Rulership

Key Takeaways:

• The planets signify themes and circumstances in our lives, while the zodiac signifies how they are expressed.
• In the tropical zodiac, the signs are defined by season, mode, and element. This further explains the expression of each sign.
• Planets in certain signs in the planetary rulership scheme have special considerations for their topics and expression.
