Initial Characteristics of Astrological Modes or Strengths

Cardinal, Movable Mode, or Strength

A variety of actions are initiated and coordinated by Cardinal, Movable Mode, or Strength. These people are typically trustworthy, know how to initiate and finish tasks, and pay attention to their surroundings if they are in a physically, mentally, or spiritually sound state. Astrology's Cardinal or Movable Astrological Signs are Capricorn (Cardinal or Movable Earth), Cancer (Cardinal or Movable Water), Libra (Cardinal or Movable Air), and Aries (Cardinal or Movable Fire).

If the Cardinal or Movable mode or strength isn’t being efficiently utilized, individuals may be the total opposite of the above. Because the Cardinal mode is ready to begin or start, individuals may appear inconsiderate and domineering to some that may not share the same mode or strength.

Fixed Mode or Strength

A consistent and resolute nature defines the quality of the Fixed Mode or Strength. While their firm resolve might be seen by some as unyielding, it often stems from an already established, unwavering position. Should one provide them with well-reasoned information, present arguments rooted in stability and commitment, and illustrate the advantages of such rationale, they might gradually embrace greater adaptability. It's unlikely that those with fixed qualities can be rushed into changing. Within astrology, the Fixed Astrological Signs include Taurus, embodying Fixed Earth; Leo, embodying Fixed Fire; Scorpio, embodying Fixed Water; and Aquarius, embodying Fixed Air.

When the Fixed mode isn't efficiently utilized, a new meaning to stubbornness may occur. Those with a Fixed mode may come across as focused on themselves since this mode is strongly set in place, which can prevent them from adapting easily, and as a result, they could be viewed as prioritizing their own needs too much.

Mutable or Common Mode or Strength

The nature of the Mutable or Common Mode or Strength is presented in its flexible and versatile qualities. Furthermore, a helpful characteristic defines this mode. Certain people may view these individuals’ ability to be more amiable with people-pleasing, or possibly being eccentric, seemingly detached when among others, or not fully engaged due to their adjustable disposition coupled with occasional limitations in directness. Within astrology, the Mutable or Common Astrological Signs consist of Gemini, denoting Mutable or Common Air; Virgo, denoting Mutable or Common Earth; Sagittarius, denoting Mutable or Common Fire; and Pisces, denoting Mutable or Common Water.

If the mutable or common mode or strength is not efficiently being balanced, they might come across as or turn into detached individuals, keenly trying to distance themselves from scenarios. Their withdrawal might stem from substantial justification, but this course of action may not be the greatest decision for particular circumstances.
