A first look at the lesson
Signs also have a quality. Going round from Aries they run movable, fixed, dual, and then the order repeats.
The Sanskrit names explain themselves: chara means moving, sthira steady, and dvisvabhava having two natures. Astrologers read them as starting, keeping and adapting.
