Polarity Axes

Every sign faces another directly across the wheel. Together they make an axis: a theme you learn to balance rather than two sides at war.

Polarity Axes

The six axes

AxisTheme
Aries – LibraMe and we: standing up for yourself while meeting others halfway
Taurus – ScorpioMine and ours: your own values and comfort, and shared resources and depth
Gemini – SagittariusKnowledge: facts and conversation, and meaning and belief
Cancer – CapricornHome and career: roots and security, and ambition and status
Leo – AquariusSelf and society: self-expression, and the group and ideals
Virgo – PiscesOrder and flow: detail, work and service, and surrender and imagination

How Astrool reads them

Your Sun axis shows qualities you often notice in other people first and grow into over life. Your Moon axis shows the two emotional poles you swing between under stress. The Ascendant–Descendant axis is you and your partner; it needs a birth time.

The opposite sign is not against you. It is the side that completes you.
