The 3 Column System & The Signs

What makes Kabbalah unique to other spiritual systems is its use of the three column system. Kabbalistic Astrology is no exception. Despite what we see at first glance, each sign is actually influenced by two elements, not just one. There is the external element, which is how we commonly identify the sign, and think about the sign in the grand scheme of things. However, each sign also has an internal energy that influences the signs characteristics. This internal energy is one of the things that helps the signs express their different nature. In other words, its why an Aries and a Leo have different characteristcs, even though they are both Fire signs.

Left Column - Fire

Central Column - Air

Right Column - Water

The Hebrew Calendar vs. The Gregorian Calendar

As we delve into Kabbalistic Astrology we find one significant difference right away. They use different calendars. While conventional Astrology is based on the solar or Gregorian calendar, Kabbalistic Astrology uses the Hebrew calendar; which takes into account the positions of both the sun and the moon. In order to determine what your Astrological sign is in the Hebrew calendar you can visit the following website: www.hebcal.com/converter You may find that you are a different sign in the Hebrew calendar than you are in the Gregorian calendar. The following is a list of the conventional names of the signs and their corresponding Hebrew month. Aries - Nissan Leo - Av Sagittarius - Kislev Taurus - Iyar Gemini - Sivan Virgo - Elul Libra - Tishrei Capricorn - Tevet Aquarius - Shvat Cancer - Tamuz Scorpio - Mar Chesvan Pisces - Adar
