Every Sign has both Negative traits and Positive traits. Everyone is a blend of both the Negative and Positive sides of the Signs, but the ones that are more towards one side of the scale than the other are considered Callow or Erudite. Erudite Signs tend to display more of the positive traits, whereas Callow Signs tend to display more of the negative.
This is just terminology I’ve come to use over the years; some say positive/negative, developed/underdeveloped, evolved/unevolved, etc.
I’ll also add that it’s not really black and white; some people show more positive traits, or more negative traits. Callow tend to be more of the positive, Erudite tend to be more of the negative.
To judge would take introspection and honesty; Which did you relate to more? Do you tend to show the more negative, or positive traits?
It’s not intended to be “this is what you will be forever.”
It’s simply a way to describe one who displays more of the negative or positive sides of their Sun Sign. It is, of course, prone to changing throughout our lives (kind of like the MBTI types) depending on what we’re going through.
