Mars and Mercury: Basic of Astrology, Chapter I, Part - 1

Dr. Shanker Adawal

A horoscope is simply a map of the heavens showing the exact positions, at a given time, of the Sun, Moon and planets within the framework of the zodiac in relation to a particular place on Earth. The mathematical process of casting a horoscope involves the science of astronomy, while interpreting all the factors in the horoscope chart involves the art of astrology. I shall not explain the technical and mathematical process of calculating the actual horoscope, but provide3 an in-depth scope of a particular planet of Zodiac sign and respective house with suggestive remedies. There are twelve parts of the Zodiac sign called Rashis. Each sign of the Zodiac is 30 degrees in extent. The Zodiacal signs are tabulated as below:-

Sign	Extent	Represented by	Number denoting The sign
Aries	0-30 degrees	Ram	1
Taurus	30-60 degrees	Bull	2
Gemini	60-90 degrees	Pair of lovers	3
Cancer	90-120 degrees	Crab	4
Leo	120-150 degrees	Lion5
Virgo	150-180 degrees	Maiden	6
Libra	180-210 degrees	Balance	7
Scorpio	210-240 degrees	Scorpion	8
Sagittarius	240-270 degrees	Bow	9
Capricorn	270-330 degrees	Crocodile	10
Aquarius	300-330 degrees	Pot	11
Pisces	330-360 degrees	Pair of fish	12

Group of Signs

The signs can be categorized into three groups from Aries onwards. They are termed as moveable or cardinal, fixed and common or mutual. Moveable signs indicate an energetic and dynamic nature; fixed signs, a tenacious and stubborn nature; common signs, a changeable nature.

Moveable	Fixed	Common
Aries	Taurus	Gemini
Cancer	Leo	Virgo
Libra	Scorpio	Sagittarius
Capricorn	Aquarius	Pisces

Each sign starting from Aries onwards is also subsequently termed as odd (or male) and even (or female). All odds signs are cruel and masculine and all even signs are mild and feminine.

Odd	Even
Aries	Taurus
Gemini	Cancer
Leo	Virgo
Libra	Scorpio
Sagittarius	Capricorn
Aquarius	Pisces

The Signs can also divided into four groups, representing the basic elements – fire, earth, air and water. Thus the signs, starting from Aries onwards are termed subsequently as Fiery, Earthy, Airy and Water.

Fiery	Earthy	Airy	Watery
Aries	Taurus	Gemini	Cancer
Leo	Virgo	Libra	Scorpio
Sagittarius	Capricorn	Aquarius	Pisces
