Positive sign (astrology)

In astrology, a positive, active, yang, diurnal or masculine[1] sign refers to any of the six odd-numbered signs of the zodiac: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius or Aquarius.[2] These signs constitute the fire and air triplicities.

Positive signs are in contrast to negative signs, which refer to any of the six even-numbered signs of the zodiac and are of earth and water triplicities: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Pisces.[3] The positive and negative signs alternate, starting with Aries as positive and Taurus as negative and continuing this pattern through the list of zodiac signs.[4]
