The twelve signs of the Zodiac represent twelve innate characteristics based on Plato’s ideas, caught on by Carl Jung to develop his concept of archetypes.

Personality charts come in several modern forms, categorizing people into sections. The personality types have varied over time, depending on adopted research. Although, some peoples traits lean greater to one or multiple characteristics, I believe the goal is to learn to embrace multiple traits of a positive nature, over time, as equally as possible, applying the strongest physiological skill for the task at hand – a well-rounded person.

I believe many of the ancients, falsely applied the concept and ability of prophecy to what we know today as trait, psychodynamic, interpersonal and socioanalytical theories (to name a few) through several mediums including astrology.

When we question the possibility of fate or destiny or chance and choice – let’s look at the paradox between traditional physics and quantum physics represented as body and mind (living in the same space), one measured with certainty, the other with varying degrees of probability, and there they both are.

I imagine Apollo (prophets) understood general society better than that populace understood themselves, given knowledge was limited to the privileged class (and perhaps through monitored data rei ). If knowing and understanding appeared “predictory” and beyond the commoners understanding, “Oh the mystery!”

“They that have power to hurt, and will do none, That do not do the thing they most do show, Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow;

They rightly do inherit heaven’s graces, And husband nature’s riches from expense;

They are the lords and owners of their faces, Others, but stewards of their excellence.

The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet, Though to itself, it only live and die, But if that flower with base infection meet, The basest weed outbraves his dignity:

For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;

Lilies that fester, smell far worse than weeds.” – Shakespeare / Sonnet 94
