Natural Zodiac
An interesting quality of the Natural Zodiac is that the Zodiac Circle, which is composed of the twelve individual Astrological Signs, taken in its entirety can be seen to reflect the entire journey and evolution of the individual human incarnation and the totality of the human experience. Each Sign has its place within the progression and represents and symbolizes a unique aspect and stage of human development. The first six Signs represent the purely personal experiences whereas the last six represent the interpersonal social experiences.
Here follows a listing of the twelve Astrological Signs and their correspondences to the different stages of the human condition:
THE PERSONAL:
ARIES: THE INFANT – The Self.
TAURUS: THE TODDLER – The Physical World.
GEMINI: THE CHILD – The Rational Mind.
