Elements, Modalities & Houses — The Anatomy of a Zodiac Sign
Every Western zodiac sign combines an element and a modality:
- Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) bring passion, courage and action.
- Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) ground things in the physical world through effort and stability.
- Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) move through ideas, language and social dynamics.
- Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) navigate feelings, intuition and emotional undercurrents.
Modalities describe how a sign moves:
- Cardinal signs initiate.
- Fixed signs stabilize and sustain.
- Mutable signs adapt and transition.
In Taroscoper, we also highlight each sign's natural house — the area of life it resonates with most (self, resources, communication, home, creativity, work, relationships, transformation, beliefs, career, community or the unconscious). When you combine your Sun sign with your personality tests, destiny matrix and tarot spreads, you get a much richer picture than any one system alone.
