# Astrology Manual

The CoffeeTells astrology manual gives a practical reference for zodiac signs, elements, modalities, and core chart language. It is written for visitors who want symbolic context alongside coffee cup reading.

The twelve zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Fire signs are linked with drive and movement. Earth signs are linked with stability and material reality. Air signs are linked with thought and communication. Water signs are linked with emotion and intuition.

Modalities describe how a sign tends to act. Cardinal signs begin and initiate. Fixed signs hold and stabilize. Mutable signs adapt and translate. The manual also explains the Sun, Moon, and Rising as a simple starting point: core drive, emotional need, and outer style.

CoffeeTells uses astrology as a reflective companion to coffee cup readings, not as a deterministic prediction system.
