Lesson 26 : Derivation of Sign Traits...

We had already discussed that we should able to intuitively derive the qualities of 12 Signs, instead of by heart them blindly.

We can derive these traits from the lord of the Sign, gender, triplicity and from quadruplicate of the Sign.

We already discussed about lordship, gender, triplicity and quadruplicate of 12 Signs and their keywords.

Now we are ready to blend these different classifications of a Sign to know its true qualities.

For example, consider Leo.
We know that Sun is the lord of Leo and Leo is a masculine, fiery and fixed sign.

[Leo]
---> Sun ( Leader, Royal, Ego, Stable, Spirit etc.)
---> Masculine ( Assertive, Dominating, Expressive etc.)
---> Fiery ( Fire, Vital Energy, Self-Motivation, Determination, Courage, Aggression etc.)
---> Fixed (Stability, Consistency, Dogmatism, Patience etc.)

So traits of Leo is similar to Sun.

Of-course, Sun's qualities should be modified with triplicity and quadruplicate qualities of Leo.

We can say that, Leo people have lot of courage, aggression and vital energy (Both Sun & Leo are Fiery). This energy is latent and stable (Fixed Sign). Kingly nature (Sun + Fiery). Good Leadership qualities (Sun). Firm and diplomatic character (Fixed + Sun). Dominating, always likes to be a boss, self-esteem (Sun + Fixed + Masculine). Dogmatic in his opinions, never listens to others ideas (Sun + Fixed). Slow to catch new opportunities (Fixed). Arrogance, vain, self-boosting (Sun + Masculine + Fiery). Attachment to power, name & fame, and royal nature (Sun + Fixed). These guys will exhibit diplomat-ism even when they lose everything including name, fame, money etc. Hippocratic (Sun + Fiery + Fixed + Masculine).

And thus we can derive so many other qualities with our intuition and imagination. This will improve our creativity.

Aries & Scorpio:

Let us derive the qualities of Aries and Scorpio.

We know that Mars is the lord of both Aries and Scorpio. So both of these Signs must have the qualities of Mars. But our common sense says that there must be some differences between both these Signs. Then which factors are creating those differences?

These factors are Gender, Triplicity and Quadruplicate of both Signs.

Aries is masculine, fiery and movable.

Scorpio is feminine, watery and fixed.

Quiet opposite in nature !

Mars is masculine and fiery with tamasic guna.

Aries supports Mars qualities better than Scorpio. But Aries doesn't support tamasic guna of Mars being movable (Rajastic) sign.

In Scorpio, Mars has to suppress his masculine and fiery nature. Scorpio supports tamasic guna of Mars being a Fixed Sign (tamasic).

So, now we can easily blend Mars qualities in both Signs.

Aries is having Courage, activeness,dominating character, energy, fire, strength, enthusiasm, ambition, assertiveness, martial nature, aggression, initiative, enterprising ability, adventure nature, cruel nature. All are masculine qualities. Ariens are action-oriented, first to start any venture, courageous, speculative and energetic.

Scorpio is also having similar qualities but with 'suppression' being a feminine Sign. Aggressiveness with suppression. Fire of Mars being suppressed with Water of Scorpio. Scorpions suppress their aggression mentally, and if they has to explode their aggression it will emerge like LAVA from a volcano. Sometimes they are silent killers and emotional blackmailers. They are mostly inert (tamasic) in action, but when become active Scorpio will be the most active Sign than any other Sign.
Scorpions have some cunning nature and revengeful mind as their negative traits. They are psychically emotional in nature. Intense thinkers. Less energetic. They must have someone's mental support in-order break their tamasic nature. They are introverts and self-sympathetic and self-centered.

Similarly, we can derive more qualities. Try to intentionally derive them.


Taurus & Libra:

We know that Venus is the ruler of both Taurus and Libra.

Venus is a feminine planet having watery nature. Which imparts her aesthetic sense and artistic inclination. Venus being rajastic in nature she is social and extrovert and active with desires and goals.

Now, Taurus is a feminine Sign having Earthy and Fixed nature.

While, Libra is a Masculine Sign with Airy and Movable nature.

So, Taurus supports feminine qualities of Venus, while Libra improves rajastic nature of Venus.

We can now say that, Taurus being a feminine and fixed Sign, is a introvert, shy and having stage fear in cultural activities with inertness. That does not mean, Taurus is not having artistic sense. They enjoy art, music, dance and cinema. To tell the truth they are the best audience. In fact, Taurus suppresses their talent.
Taurus being a Earthy sign, they love luxury and material comforts. They acquire luxurious items with slow and steadiness. They are buyers of art, luxury cars, plasma televisions, luxurious homes etc. In fact they are the buyers of art while Libras are the creators of that art.

Taurus people are always like to secure their lives with fixed assets (lands, luxurious homes, fixed deposits etc.) (being Fixed & Earthy Sign). They slowly accustom to surroundings and develop attachment with materialistic world and become lazy and inert (Being Fixed Sign). They are stubborn. Never listen to others advice. They are loyal and trustworthy. They once believe anybody, will support him till the end. They always commence their conversation with key phrase 'I have'...

Libra is a movable sign indicating rajastic nature. Venus lord of Libra is also a rajastic planet. Hence Venus becomes action-oriented to achieve her desires. Libras use their artistic talents to achieve balance, uniformity, peace and beauty. They are social and well associated with people as advisers in materialistic, luxurious and peace matters (being Airy Sign). Libras like domestic peace at home. Of-course, worldly peace also. They are peace lovers.
Libra being a airy sign, which indicates mental work rather than physical. Best suitable as lawyers, advisers and consultants in architecture and other art & beauty related professions.

**I may be missing many other traits. You may find those traits in other websites. What I am trying to teach is how to achieve each trait by blending different classification of each sign. Instead of by heart them.


Gemini & Virgo:

Both Gemini & Virgo are ruled by Mercury. Both these Signs are Dual in nature indicating dual mind with versatility.

Keywords for Mercury are speech, communication, intelligence, quick learning skills, humor, youthfulness and discrimination etc.

Gemini represents communication skills being an airy Sign. Adaptability and flexibility with any kind of persons. Geminis are very quick learners. They are well versed with many subjects but are not perfect in any of them. They talk about every subject. They think quickly before talking. They are anxious to know everything. Due to dual nature they can speak both materialistic and occult subjects. They get bored quickly with one subject and immediately change their mind onto another topic. Sometimes they have depth in every subject they deal with. They are best suited as anchors, news readers and reporters in television & media industry. They also know how to play with words in language to create humor. They are always in youth age with their evergreen communication skills...

Virgo is a business oriented sign. Mercury as the lord of Virgo uses its communication skills and intelligence for business. Virgo is also a dual Sign. Virgo people are also versatile. However they improve in every subject with an eye detail. They are perfect. And hence desire the same perfectness in everybody. They are slow to learn, but when they are perfected they do the same to minute detail. They have tremendous patience and perseverance. They can analyze both sides of everything. They can easily find faults in others. Having a Virgo boss is like a hell. He will never satisfy with our work. They are sometimes become over-critic, which is their biggest draw back. They are dogmatic and inflexible sometimes. They are well fit as computer programmers. Logic and discrimination are their skill-set. They never say I am perfect in any subject till they achieve 99.99% accuracy. Their key phrase is 'I analyze'...


Sagittarius & Pisces:

Jupiter is the lord of both these signs.

Jupiter expresses his masculine and fiery nature side in Sagittarius, while feminine and watery nature in Pisces.

Both these signs are dual in nature, which is compatible with the Sattvic nature of Jupiter.

Sagittarius represents optimism, expansion, freedom, spiritualism, religion, Brahmans, belief system, knowledge, honesty, judgment etc.

Problems for Sagittarians arises due to over-optimism, superstitions, over-honesty, too much belief in religion and racism.

They are honest and humble, problem is they expect same from others. They believe in a religion, problem is, they try to believe us in that religion also. They are strait forward and frank in expressing there opinions. Similarly expect the same from us.

They have spiritual and patriotic fire in them.

They are best suited as teachers, lecturers, professors, judges and spiritual gurus.

'I can feel what you feel' is the key-phrase for Pisces.

Being a watery sign with philosophical touch of Jupiter and being a feminine also, Pisces is the most sensitive, emotional, perceptive and psychic of all other signs. This is also called a mystic sign.

They are so sensitive that they try to avoid worldly affairs, responsibilities and love to be alone.

They claim, sometimes, that they can here voices of angels and spirits, which guide them to reveal mysteries of life and enable their psychic abilities.

Being a dual sign, they can easily bend to circumstances. They sometimes behave as if they are saints, and at the same time they can become worst of the sinners too by loosing their common sense.
They sometimes get frustrated with circumstances and modern society and slowly accustom to liquor or drugs and thus avoiding worldly affairs and responsibilities to end their lives with suicides.

Over sensitivity is their negative trait.


Capricorn & Aquarius:

Saturn is the lord of both these signs.

Saturn is called 'Karma Karaka'. That means, doing duty without expecting any fruits from that work. Saturn always tests our patience and capacity to face problems by creating sequence of obstacles in our life. Whoever understands this secret can conquer easily over Saturn's influence on our lives.

'Responsibility' and 'Sacrifice' are the unique keywords for Capricorn.

Capricorn is a movable sign, that means action oriented and also a earthy sign indicating that every action has some purpose to achieve success in materialistic life to get name and fame. This is contrary to the selfless work attitude of Saturn. Movable and Earthy(Materialistic)nature of Capricorn is seducing Saturn to take advantage of his self-less activity. However Saturn's intrinsic nature doesn't allow that success so easily. Capricorns has to have lot of patience and hard work-ship. Saturn ensures success but with many struggles and obstacles. Hence Capricorns are very cautious. They try to achieve small targets first, with slow and steady pace. And then gradually improves their consistency in maintaining success. They are winners sometimes, when the rest of world is loosing.

Capricorns have best sense of responsibility towards their family members, colleagues at office, society and to the nation also. Sometimes they can sacrifice their lives for the sake of above mentioned people and nation.

They can easily sacrifice their time to help others and never expect anything in return. Sometimes, when they become narrow-minded, they feel sorry for themselves (self-sympathy) that nobody is telling at least 'thank you for your kind help'...

They are best suitable for those jobs where responsibility & loyalty are the first preferences.

Aquarians also work selflessly, however they work mentally, not physically like Capricorn, being an airy sign.

Scientists, mathematicians, astronomers, astrologers, yogis etc. are the best examples for this Sign.

They do their activity selflessly.

Aquarians like freedom. They die for it. They think independently contrary to the rest of the world.They get sudden ideas. They invents new theories replacing old ones. They like to fear and surprise the world with their innovation ideas and inventions.

Aquarius being a fixed sign, once they form an opinion, they stick to it till the end. Sometimes they scare the world with their pessimistic inventions or ideas.

They are unorthodox sometimes. They are detached to family relations.

Aquarians can change the world with their innovative ideas...
