Signs of the Zodiac
This is a
listing of the 12 signs. With each I have included a glyph and a
picture to go with it, along with a key word and several traits that
are associated with each sign. In order to learn astrology, it is
necessary to know this information well. Unfortunately there are no
shortcuts and the only thing to do is to just memorize it.

The Next Step
The Reference Section contains this information, but does not
include the pictures and the glyphs are smaller. The idea is to put the
essential data only in that section.
Now that
you've had time to learn the signs and the sign glyphs, the next step
is to learn the planets, then houses, then we will practice reading a
birth chart.
