Answer 1

Absolutely.

Modalities in astrology describe a mode of operating in life. There are three modalities – Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. Each modality has four signs associated with it.

Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn):

These signs are called cardinal because they govern the change of season: Aries, spring; Cancer, summer; Libra, fall; and Capricorn, winter. People with a heavy emphasis in cardinal signs are self-starters, doers. They initiate and get things moving. They are active, enthusiastic, motivated, and ambitious. Expressed negatively, they may fail to finish what they start. People with few planets in cardinal signs may have difficulty getting the ball rolling.

Fixed Signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius):

These signs are the middle month of each season. People with a heavy emphasis in fixed signs are determined, persistent, stable, resolute and able to concentrate. They will see a project through to completion. They achieve results slowly but surely. Expressed negatively, they can be stubborn, egotistical and inflexible. People with few planets in fixed signs may have difficulty in persevering and lack tenacity.

Mutable Signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces):

These signs are the closing month of each season. People with a heavy emphasis in mutable signs are versatile, adaptable, flexible, changeable, subtle, sympathetic and intuitive. Expressed negatively, they can be deceptive, manipulative, inconsistent and undependable. People with few planets in mutable signs may have difficulty adapting or being flexible.


Additionally, understand that although your Sun sign may be fixed, you have eight other planets which are living in their own houses under the influence of their own individual signs. This is why we astrologers look at the entirety of a chart and tabulate the number of fixed, mutable and/or cardinal signs in a clients chart, in order to gain a better understanding of the individual influences of their path and personality as a whole.
