The Wheel of the Zodiac

The astrological system can be understood with an illustration of the wheel of the zodiac. The wheel is an eternal circle called the sun. Within this circle is a band containing twelve houses.

Elements and Ruling Planets

In astrology, every zodiac sign has an identifying symbol. For example, the Ram is the symbol for Aries, the Twins for Gemini and the Bull for Taurus.

There are three fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius), three water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces), three air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) and three Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn).

Every house also has a ruling planet: Aries (Mars), Taurus (Venus), Gemini (Mercury), Cancer, Leo, Virgo (Mercury), Libra (Venus), Scorpio (Pluto), Sagittarius (Jupiter), Capricorn (Saturn), Aquarius(Uranus) and Pisces (Neptune). Cancer and Leo do not have a ruling planet. Cancer is controlled by the Moon and Leo by the sun.
