That's okay EvieGrace, in fact ours is an astrological learning forum and a great article that assists
to gain understanding of this concept is by Steven Birchfield, an astrologer and philosopher who continues his exploration of the Living Signs,
especially with regard to the aspects and the concept of signs "casting a glance" at one another.
In fact the word "aspect" comes from the Greek word "to look"
The different types of glances the zoidia have towards each other are the same in all respects that a person would make.
Psychologically we make a distinction between things that we see (which is a passive action)
and things that we perceive or behold (when something "catches your eye" and we consciously receive an impression).
Similarly, the zoidia made distinctions in how they looked or saw ahead in the order of the Zodiac while they perceived those following them.
In Medieval astrology seeing ahead became known as 'sinister' and perceiving behind as 'dexter'. http://www.astrologycom.com/livingsigns2.html
