A zodiac sign’s modality (or quadruplicity) is based on its position within the seasons. There are three modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable, with four signs in each group. The modality influences how energy is expressed and how individuals interact with the world.
Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) mark the beginning of each season. They’re ambitious, pioneering, and thrive on challenges.
Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) occur in the middle of a season, during its peak. They are steadfast, dedicated, and often known for their stubbornness.
Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) represent the transition between seasons. These signs are adaptable, flowing, and sometimes seen as restless.
