12-fold geometric grid
A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
The structural foundation underlying every chart. Every relationship between zodiacal signs is fixed (Aries-Cancer = square, Aries-Libra = opposition, etc.) by geometry, regardless of which planets occupy them. Reading any chart is reading how its planets occupy this universal grid.
