by Robert Wilkinson

This originated with a question at KISS when someone asked about “the amount of elements and modes in the natal chart.” The elements are of course Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, and the modes are Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. What does it mean when we have no planets in an element or a mode?

He was a philosopher who created the Transcendentalist movement which gave young America intellectual and metaphysical credibility and direction.
