The twelve signs, taken seriously
A sign is a style, not a personality type: the mode any planet expresses when it sits in that sector of the zodiac. Each guide covers the astronomy, the element and modality, the ruler, and how the sign behaves in a real chart, with an engine-computed receipt on every page.
