There are three types of signs, the cardinal, fixed, and
mutable. Generally people don't bob along easily together, when
they have the same qualities, perhaps because they are too
alike. Those in polarity to you have relationships which are
more complementary.The Cardinal signs are driven, by motivation
and ideas. However, their follow through skills are often
neglected, they want to move on to other challenges.
The Fixed Signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. This
group have great follow through qualities, they are dogged and
stable, and will see projects through to completion. Their
common characteristics include determination and persistence;
they are stable and self-reliant. On a team, Fixed Signs are the
people who keep a project going and see it through to the end,
but they can also be stubborn and inflexible. The Fixed Houses
are Second, Fifth, Eighth and Eleventh; if a chart has a number
of Planets in these Houses, the chart is weighted toward Fixed
energy.
The Mutable Signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
These four Signs are the flexible members of the Zodiac, happy
to fill an assigned role. Their common characteristics include
adaptability and changeability; they are flexible and versatile.
On a team, Mutable Signs adapt easily to changing conditions,
and they don't have a particular agenda. They can, however, be
wishy-washy or inconsistent. The Mutable Houses are Third,
Sixth, Ninth and Twelfth; if a chart has a number of Planets in
these Houses, the chart is weighted toward Mutable energy.
Many people don't realize how important the Elements and
Qualities can be in true Astrology. It's the combination of
Elements and Qualities that makes the Signs what they are; they
combine in twelve distinct ways, one for each Sign.
