Since the trajectory of the Sun, when viewed from Earth, has a circular shape, we represent the zodiac as a circle. The circle is divided into sectors (zodiac signs), some of which are located opposite each other. Aries opposes Libra, Capricorn opposes Cancer, and sidereal Taurus is opposed by two constellations at once - Scorpio and Ophiuchus.

Since each zodiac sign has a ruler planet, the opposition of the signs generates a confrontation of the planets. For example, Mars (ruler of Aries) is the exact opposite of Chiron (ruler of Libra), and the Moon (ruler of Cancer) is the opposite of Saturn (ruler of Capricorn).

To clearly see the kinship and enmity of the signs, I made an infographic that reflects the actual planetary properties adapted to the sidereal zodiac. You can trace in which constellation the planet shows its strength and weakness, based on the traditional astrological concepts of domicile, exaltation, detriment and fall.

Many people perceive the Zodiac as something ephemeral and not quite true. They consider it the subject of complete harmony: 12 signs, 12 months, 12 houses, 4 elements, 3 spiritual areas, etc. At the same time, every zodiac sign have the size of 30 degrees, and it seems harmonious. Everything is fair, everything is equal. However, the Zodiac is not a figment of human imagination, despite the fact that the individual modeled it. But he did it, watching the sky! In space, as well as on Earth, phenomena don't have regular forms.
