Fixed, Cardinal & Mutable Signs: Understanding Meanings Of Astrology Signs

Each zodiac sign has certain characteristics and qualities about them that are unique from each other. Certain signs have similar characteristics with each other that give them more compatibility.

Confidence naturally comes for fixed signs, as they know that they at great at doing certain things and aren't afraid to make it known to the world. Many who are born of one of these astrology signs that are fixed are very stubborn, however, and may be difficult to get along with for some. Fixed signs may not want to change their way of doing something, even if it is not the best way, and think that they are right all the time.

They will never run out of new ideas to try, but there will not be very many finished projects. Filled with enthusiasm, cardinal signs have a lot of vigor in life. Ambition drives them to do great things, usually for themselves. They tend to focus solely on their own well-being and often forget about others, but others are drawn to them by their natural high-energy. Cardinal signs are very intelligent and want to be the best. Many see them as self-centered by the actions that they take on their way to the top.

Mutual signs include the zodiac signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Virgo. They are the signs that end each of the four seasons, so therefore they are old souls. Since they come at the end of the seasons, they therefore have more experience and seem to be wiser than other signs. They are great at making anything work, no matter what the situation is, mutable signs are very different from the others. These signs love to learn, put a high value in fairness, and are liked by everyone. Mutable signs are very flexible and are good at going with the flow. They can adapt to any situation and can have compatibility with most other signs. These zodiac signs would rather do what is best for everyone and get along with all instead of being stubborn and doing only what they want to do. Easily changing, mutable signs are often considered to be like chameleons. They are the ones who can finish a job better than any of the other types of signs as they are intelligent and have a critical eye, able to see more than the others can see. Though they are well-liked by most everyone, sometimes they get themselves into messes by trying to make everyone happy. Some may see mutable signs as inconsistent and not knowing what they really want, because they want to make others happy before themselves. Mutable signs are the most selfless signs there are in the zodiac, putting others first and wanting to do what is best for everyone. They often give too much of themselves, but recover quickly once they break and get back at it again with helping others.

Each category has unique qualities that are characteristic of the zodiac signs that fall in each. Signs between the fixed, mutable, and cardinal categories may have compatibility, or even within each category. Fixed signs are the most dependable signs that anyone can rely on to get something done. Fixed signs are the ones who will make sure that a project gets finished and will keep everyone on track. Cardinal signs are the idea-makers. They are natural-born leaders with high energy and are always on the go. They want to be the best and don't care much about others along their way up. Mutable signs are the most easy-going signs and most everyone will get along with them. They are the ones who want to help others and seem to have an old soul, seeing through things that other signs do not see. Each of these categories of fixed, mutable, and cardinal signs have some negative characteristics too, but there are many other details that determine each individual person's personality.
