In this episode of Those Astrology Girls, Nicole and Keelie break down the foundational building blocks of astrology—elements, modes, and polarities—and how they shape personality and behavior. They explore the four elements (fire, earth, air, and water), the three modes (cardinal, fixed, and mutable), and the yin-yang balance of polarities, making these concepts easy to understand and apply. Through personal stories and practical insights, they explain how recognizing these patterns in your own chart can enhance self-awareness, improve relationships, and help you work with your natural strengths. Whether you're new to astrology or looking to deepen your knowledge, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how the elements and modes influence daily life.
