The twelve signs
The twelve Sun signs of the tropical zodiac correspond to approximate date ranges. Their elements and modalities distinguish how each sign is interpreted in astrology.

| Virgo | August 23 to September 22 | Practical correction |
| Libra | September 23 to October 22 | Reciprocity and balance |
| Scorpio | October 23 to November 21 | Trust and lasting attachment |
| Sagittarius | November 22 to December 21 | Exploration and meaning |

These are approximate tropical Sun sign dates. On boundary dates, the sign can vary with the birth year, time and time zone. The Sun's position at the moment of birth gives the exact sign.
How a sign engages with experience follows from its element. The sign's way of starting or sustaining activity explains why a useful response can persist after the situation calls for something else.
Aries traits explained through cardinal fire and Mars, with concrete behavior in relationships and at work showing plainly what moving first costs each day.
Taurus holds to what has proved useful. Fixed earth and Venus explain its steady approach to love and work, along with the cost of resisting change.
Gemini moves by exchanging information. Mutable air and Mercury explain its quick revisions in relationships and at work, plus the cost of scattered attention.
Cancer begins care before a need is spoken. Cardinal water and the Moon explain its attentive bonds and the difficulty of releasing old hurt after conflict.
Fixed fire gives Leo a visible, sustained style. The Sun sets its terms for affection and work, while pride accounts for the friction in public settings.
Virgo traits appear in practical corrections that make daily tasks usable. Mutable earth keeps the method open, with Mercury naming what still fails.
Libra uses cardinal air to put competing positions into order. Venus makes proportion visible, and repeated comparison can delay a firm answer.
Fixed water keeps an overlooked detail present for Scorpio, while Pluto draws attention below the surface. Suspicion can turn that focus into pressure.
Mutable fire keeps Sagittarius moving past a settled frame as Jupiter widens the possible route. The cost appears when work or commitment requires limits.
A loose plan becomes accountable work under Capricorn's cardinal earth and Saturn. Control takes on too much weight when Capricorn keeps every responsibility.
Aquarius follows a repeated fault back to the system that produced it. Fixed air holds the principle steady as Uranus presses for a new design.
Unspoken shifts register quickly for Pisces. Mutable water adapts the response, while Neptune gives implication enough weight to blur personal preference.
