Further Information
Ancient wisdom traditions both revealed and concealed their teachings in symbols, individual symbols joined to form complex symbol systems. The Alchemical Star clearly shows a deep unity underlying the symbols of astrology. See also The Alchemical Star Chart that expands on this original design.
The twelve signs of the zodiac form a quadruplicity of elements (fire, water, earth and air), represented by the four triangles. Each elemental triangle is influenced by three basic qualities, cardinal, mutable and fixed. The houses that sit across from each other in the heavens (opposites), fall into place adjacent to each other within the star, aligning themselves naturally along the axes of cardinal, mutable and fixed.
