The most widely know astrological concept
Modes
The modes divide the zodiac into four sections. Signs in the same modes are
in square aspect. These determine the way we go about things.
Cardinal
The cardianl signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.
Cardinal signs go about getting what they want in a direct manner. If cardinal
energy was was driving a car which encountered a tree blocking the road, it
would drive right over it. While brilliant at initiating new projects and starting
things they are not so talented at maintaining and sustaining. Give them a goal
and they will achieve it.
Fixed
The fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.
Fixed signs edure. They will maintain their position and build
upon it. Slow to start they will maintain and conserve. This is
the energy you require to establish something once it has been established.
They are conservative and tend away from innovation, even the Aquarians
who, to be blunt, wish to establish their vision not yours.
Mutable
The mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
Mutable signs adapt. Where cardinal starts and fixed maintains,
mutable sees what needs to change. They swing between these two
and for these reasons were referred to as common signs by older
authors. Where cardinal starts and fixed establishes, mutable notes
the need for change and adjustment.
