Overview
Zodiac sign keywords offer a direct way to understand each sign’s style, instinct,
temperament, and expressive mode. These entries are intentionally simple — four compact
sections that help you recognize how a sign behaves and what it brings to the chart.
Use this glossary as a quick‑reference tool when exploring natal charts, transits,
