Each zodiac sign has unique qualities based on its polarity, modality, element, and ruling planet. Inspired by the guest-host metaphor, in which a planet is the host of its home sign and the other planets are its guests, I like to imagine the zodiac signs as countries with an individual culture and unique customs. The planets travel through the signs and have to adhere to the rules of the country they are traveling through. When in Pisces, do as the Pisceans.
