The Modalities in Astrology
Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable
There are 3 modalities in astrology; cardinal, fixed and
mutable. The modalities describe the primary or basic
states of activity typical to the sign.
In the zodiac 4 signs share the same modality; thus there
are 4 cardinal signs, 4 fixed signs and 4 mutable signs.
Each modality is identified by specific characteristics and
the signs that share the same modality are said to be
negative towards each other.
Cardinal
Cardinal is independent, impatient
and pioneering.
Fixed
Fixed signs are stubborn, determined,
persistent and slow to change.
Mutable
Mutable signs are flexible and resourceful
but have a hard time making a decision.
