The 12 zodiac signs are divided into three modalities: Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius), and Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces).
Cardinal signs initiate and start things. Fixed signs maintain and stabilize. Mutable signs adapt and transition.
Each modality contains one sign from each element (fire, earth, air, water), creating a balanced system. Understanding your dominant modality reveals your approach to change and action.
