What do fixed, mutable, and cardinal mean?
so the 12 signs are split into three groups dependant on their modality
aries, cancer, libra and capricorns are cardinal signs: they represent the beginning of the season (spring, summer, autumn, winter). say theres a project, these cardinal signs would come up with the ideas, get everyone excited, really get the whole thing started and moving, but they tend to run out of energy real fast and some of these signs run the risk of leaving shit unfinished (ahem, aries, ahem). they can also tend to be quite bossy signs as a result, but they’re full of optimism for new things and love the beginnings of pretty much everything (new relationship, new job). they can be pretty idealistic as a result.
however, when those cardinal signs run out of steam, this is when the fixed signs come along! these stubborn mo’fo’s would keep that project going along, and relating back to the seasons, they’re the ‘middle’ stage of each season, these signs see the season through to completion. that be taurus, leo, scorpio and aquarius. when these people want something, they stick to it, and like i said they’re stubborn as fuck. this can be a great thing, but also a bad thing - in terms of, say, a bad relationship. they want it to work so badly and put all their effort in, and may try to hold on to it even if it becomes toxic. but this trait makes them more reliable than others.
then there are mutable signs. these people are kind of the floaters, in terms of the hypothetical ‘project’ they’re the kind of people who would be involved in many different projects at the same time, because they’re creative and tend to be good with people. but they are also extremely unreliable in this way and may find it hard to find their ‘niche’ - something theyre particularly interested in and good at, as they tend to be jack of all trades sorts of people. they’re still pretty dope and they represent the transitioning of one season to another. that be gemini, virgo, sagitarrius, and pisces. also its good to make note of a little known astrology concept! we all know about the duality of two faced geminis, right? well its believed that all mutable signs have this duality in them, but its less of a huge thing for the others - i will go into more detail about this in another post.
