Crosses in astrology: what are they and how do they affect our lives. Zodiac signs that are karmically related to each other

So, there was a request to tell more about the crosses. They are, in fact, at home.

Again and in order.

Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

Cardinal houses in astrology are the first, seventh, fourth, tenth houses. If in the horoscopes the planets predominate in cardinal houses, then such a person is the blacksmith of his own happiness, and independently paves his way throughout life. The main credo of such a person: "Everything at once." Such people are often the initiators of any activity.
But a big initial impulse may be followed by an equally sharp fall.

The main disadvantage is the lack of patience and perseverance. It is difficult to make constant efforts (i.e. continue what you started).

Cardinal in Latin means chief. It is simply impossible not to notice such phenomena. Like the onset of spring after winter or summer after spring. The cardinal is the highest (after the Pope) rank in the Roman Catholic Church.

Cardinal signs remake the world. More precisely, they are the ones the world will use to bring about the changes it needs. They are well suited for these purposes, as they are determined and energetic.

The cardinal cross is the cross of the creation of the world, the cross of God the Father. Everything that has a mass and an axis of rotation is described by him, from planets and galaxies to atoms.

These are the initiators. Active and self-confident, the signs of the cardinal cross are usually ambitious and do not need external incentives. Since each of the signs is the first to represent its element, they like any undertakings.

Signs of the cardinal cross of the zodiac are happy to take the first step towards the implementation of new projects, but do not particularly care about the routine work necessary for their successful completion.

If more assertive planets, such as the Sun or Mars, are in cardinal signs, the person leaves behind a long string of unfinished business. The position of the Moon and Venus in these signs indicates some issues related to emotional experiences that have remained open.

Signs of the Cardinal Cross: Aries

Aries - the main initiator of the Zodiac - is famous for the habit of dissipating their energy and starting more projects than they are able to complete. He expresses himself energetically and flaunts his knowledge. This is a generator of ideas, constantly looking for new ways to realize their vital energy and fiery nature.

Signs of the Cardinal Cross: Cancer

Cancer tries to satisfy their emotional needs and make up for the lack of strong experiences by showing their feelings first. If in other areas of activity he is somewhat restrained and timid, then he makes emotional contact without hesitation in order to give vent to feelings.

Signs of the Cardinal Cross: Libra

Libra, being an air sign, is sociable and initiates interaction between people both at the level of personal relationships and in a social context. Giving rise to any relationship, Libra wants to unite, restore harmony and balance, to help ensure that any relationship runs smoothly.

Signs of the Cardinal Cross: Capricorn

Capricorn, like the rest cardinal signs, also starts new activity, but with an emphasis on a practical purpose, because it is a sign of the Earth. He thinks about the benefits of his work, about material rewards and tangible results. Although he is able to see the big picture, at the same time he does not break away from reality and always thinks about the practical value of his activities.

If the signs of the cardinal cross dominate in the horoscope, the child may be restless and hyperactive. The clear predominance of cardinal signs endows a person with the ability to endlessly come up with ideas, he scatters them to the right and left, without thinking about the possibility of their practical implementation.

Paired with a fixed sign, he could direct his energy towards more specific tasks, while at the same time sharing his inspiration with him.

Signs of the cardinal cross of the Zodiac stimulate each other, but increase competition. Mutable signs easily adapt to the continuous flow of ideas, but at the slightest difficulty they can quietly slip away.

The cardinal cross controls the movement.
At the physiological level, it controls respiration, blood supply, activity nervous system. And in psychological terms, it endows a person with such qualities as psychological and intellectual mobility, the ability for creativity and development in the broadest sense of the word.

The cardinal cross is the cross of the will, the material basis of the universe, the new impulse of the idea. Its main quality is the desire for realization. It is always directed to the future. It gives dynamism, activity, striving for a goal. A person in whose horoscope the Sun, Moon or most of the personality planets are in cardinal signs will be a man of action. Such people are energetic and live in the present, for them the most important thing is the current moment in time and the feeling of “here and now”. Therefore, their emotions and sensations are distinguished by brightness and great strength. Their joy is as strong and sincere as their disappointment, but any emotions are short-lived, as soon these signs are immersed in new life, into new sensations, start a new business. With age, their moods become more even and come to their usual businesslike mood. Obstacles do not frighten them, but only increase the pressure and desire for the goal. However, they do not have much strength to withstand the struggle for their goal for too long. Therefore, if the struggle with an obstacle is too long or the results of one’s efforts are not visible at all, then such an obstacle begins to seem insurmountable, which leads to disappointment, causes a breakdown and can even lead to depression. Also detrimental to them is the lack of dynamics and the opportunity to take the initiative. Such a person will always strive forward and upward, captivating with his energy. He is always in sight, noticeably rises above his surroundings, achieves his life goal and reaches a high social level.

The cardinal cross is your capacity for creativity and change. If fate awarded you a horoscope with a dominant Cardinal Cross, then your psychological qualities, appearance and physiology will show it. The body of a person of the Cardinal Cross seems fragile and light even with high growth, as vertical lines predominate in it. The shoulders are usually straight, the hips are narrow, the bone is fragile. The body is thin or pleasantly slender. Even if, with age, a person of the Cardinal Cross manages to gain weight, his appearance still leaves the impression of lightness and fragility. The person of the Cardinal Cross is light, mobile, impetuous.

The main features of a person of the Cardinal Cross are unpredictability and variability. His life and behavior are not subject to stereotypes. The manifestation of physical and mental energy is like a small explosion.

A person of the Cardinal Cross often acts under the influence of an impulse, but this impulse can quickly lose its strength and subside. The energy of a person of the Cardinal Cross is quickly depleted if he does not have a constant source of replenishment.

The lack of balance is expressed in the fact that our internal impulses go against the natural direction of life. This conflict often manifests itself in a state of depression, when we are unable to make a decision and implement it. Or we are in a state of heightened excitability. Then we rush through life, not being able to focus energy in a certain direction and bring the work we have started to the end.

The Cardinal Cross only includes processes, and to complete them, the qualities of the Fixed and Mutable Crosses are needed. Therefore, if fate has given you many planets in the signs of the Cardinal Cross, then one of your lessons is to learn how to complete the work you have begun. Learn to activate in yourself the energies of the Fixed and Mutable crosses.

The cardinal cross gives a person gaiety and activity, gives energy, sharpens mental capacity, creative thinking, gives the subtlety of perception, as a result of which he sensitively reacts to any signals from the outside.

The main life task for a person of the Cardinal Cross is the comprehension of the new, creative search and movement forward. However, this becomes possible only when he decides for himself main question- a matter of trust in oneself, in one's opinion. And it is also important for a person of the Cardinal Cross to gain confidence in the World and believe that he supports him. It is important for a person of the Cardinal Cross to stop worrying.

In a balanced state, a person of the Cardinal Cross reacts optimistically to the challenge of fate. He enthusiastically takes on the most difficult problems. However, it is difficult for him to calculate his strength: emotional mobility prevents him from focusing on one thing. He tackles several problems at once. It is not easy for him to prioritize life. He is attracted to those issues that are currently not yet ready for resolution and may well wait. As a result, the already small forces of the man of the Cardinal Cross are scattered, and the problem remains unresolved.
Due to his natural insecurity, the person of the Cardinal Cross tends to merge as much as possible with environment away from your individuality. This creates a deep conflict in him. According to his destiny, he is called to discover, to make, to create a new life. It was on him that fate laid the responsibility for the emergence of new views on life. The person of the Cardinal Cross should contribute to the destruction of stereotypes and the overthrow of authorities. But for him it is scary and unusual. It is easier for him to follow the beaten path, rely on someone else's authority and be someone's shadow.

Our modern way of life, with its unnatural rhythm, constant race and values ​​alien to human nature, overloads the person of the Cardinal Cross, unbalances the internal structure. Our modern world, like a Procrustean bed, presses on a person. A person cannot painlessly adjust to it, and he has to “renounce himself” in many ways.
If a person of the Cardinal Cross is deprived of the opportunity to have a good rest, then this will lead to rapid exhaustion and imbalance of the whole organism. The natural mechanisms of self-regulation will be violated.

The cardinal cross is responsible for the internal rhythm of a person and, accordingly, for his mechanism of synchronization with the outside world. This determines his ability to "join" the situation, to the partner, and also to be in contact with his body. Often the problems of loneliness are associated with an imbalance in the structure of the Cardinal Cross. Increased anxiety and anxiety make him internally run away from communication, withdraw into himself. At the same time, it seems to him that the world does not accept him.
The man of the Cardinal Cross high level psychological stress, so he does not like loud sounds, pungent odors and gets tired quickly. He often suffers from insomnia and constipation. The main negative emotion for him is fear. And this is understandable, since when using only their own type of energy, it is difficult for a person of the Cardinal Cross to resolve the problems that arise. He needs support, but his main mistake is that he begins to look for this support in others, instead of learning how to organize his life sensibly.

It is the imbalance of the Cardinal Cross that gives rise to a feeling of self-doubt in a person, the state of an orphan. This "orphan" is looking for someone to rely on in life. He has a "loser" strategy, fueled by his inner fears. The person of the Cardinal Cross often complains about life. But if someone, instead of shouldering his problems, offers him to do something himself, then he will certainly begin to explain why he will not succeed. And he will do it regardless of what he will be offered. And he will be sincerely surprised and even offended if he is told that he does not want to solve his problems. It is difficult for him to believe that he is not at all a victim of circumstances, but the author of his problems. The man of the Cardinal Cross actually feels sorry for himself. The only thing he doesn't pretend to be is that he's really sick.

There is something in his behavior designed for the public: look, they say, how unhappy I am. So he silently calls for help. He does not believe in his own strength and in the willingness of those around him to help him. And this disbelief makes him manipulate loved ones, demonstrating excessive helplessness. He will never ask for help directly, just like that soldier from a Russian fairy tale: “Give the hostess some water to drink, otherwise you want to eat so much that there is nowhere to spend the night.”

A person of the Cardinal Cross considers himself poor, no matter what share of life's blessings he has. At the same time, he believes that giving is more noble than receiving. He is ready to be sacrificial, but there is an unnatural flavor to it. He most often gives not at the behest of his heart, but because giving is “good” and “correct”. In a rush, he is ready to give "the last shirt." But then he will regret his act and in the depths of his soul he will even be angry with himself for having done it. Sometimes he gets angry with his partner for not refusing the offer. A person of the Cardinal Cross needs to learn how to strike a balance in caring for himself and for others.

It is distrust of the world that gives rise to anxiety, anxiety and fear in a person of the Cardinal Cross and makes him look for someone who will solve problems for him. In fact, when he has to solve his problems himself, he can solve them more successfully than many thanks to his natural ingenuity and activity. But it is important for him to get "approval of his actions from the outside: let someone tell him that he is doing everything" right ". If you say that he is acting" wrong ", then, fearing your disapproval, he will agree with you. Having ceased to follow his inner decision, he will fall ill.
In fact, his inability to express himself as much as possible is objective, but temporary. Left alone with all his problems, he can overcome his fears, gain the necessary confidence and complete the task assigned to him by fate. Using fear as an adviser, protecting against rash acts, he begins to move forward, accumulating experience and knowledge. Freed from other people's authorities and gaining inner strength, he becomes the master of his life and finds support in himself. The newfound confidence allows him not only to build his life, but also to delight with novelty. the world. Then his life turns into an amazing adventure.
The conflict of a person of the Cardinal Cross with fate is manifested in his rejection of his views, desires and new actions, in his refusal to realize his inner creative potential. He gives up himself, trying to please another, so that he would help him in life. Moreover, the refusal mainly comes from the fear of doing something wrong or from the fear that nothing will work out. In other words, he needs to give himself "the right to make a mistake."

The more internal potential a person has of the Cardinal Cross, the more severe restrictions are imposed on him by fate through his horoscope. In the same proportion, his anxiety and inner discomfort increase. Periodically, fate gives him a chance to make in life new step, and if he refuses, then the internal discomfort intensifies. If he directs his efforts to independently overcome the situation, fate immediately begins to help him, creating a favorable combination of circumstances. The state of hard and patient work is another energy. These are the energies of the Fixed and Mutable crosses.

This new energy draws other people and other situations into your life.
The trick of fate lies in the fact that it gives the person of the Cardinal Cross such problems that internal discomfort encourages him to move in the right direction. And until he reveals to the world his natural perfection, that is, he does not realize his maximum potential, he will be haunted by the feeling that he is doing something wrong. This is the paradox: to move towards perfection through your imperfection.

In front of face stressful situation a person of the Cardinal Cross needs to remember:

1. Tests are given to us according to our strength.

2. The world supports us.

3. Every person inside has something that protects him. You can call this entity a guardian angel or your higher self.

4. You need to become a "judge for yourself", your actions and deeds.

5. A person is responsible for everything that happens in his life: by refusing responsibility, he is responsible for his refusal. There is no choice: we are responsible for what we do and for what we do not do.

6. Learning to give yourself “the right to make mistakes” is the only way move forward.

7. Everything that happens to us is always timely and benefits us.

8. Every challenge is a chance to take a new height in life. Running away from solving problems means depriving yourself of the opportunity to change your life in the direction more joy and completeness.

Until now, we have been talking about the elements - that is, as it were, varieties of matter from which each sign of the Zodiac (as well as each element of our world) is created. But the elements alone are not enough for a more or less meaningful description of anything.

Take, for example, Fire. It can be represented by an instantaneous release of energy, an explosion, and at the same time fireball The sun, continuously radiating energy for an unimaginably long time. Or Water: one thing is a mountain river, and quite another is a swamp. It can be said that various representatives the same elements have different dynamism.

It is this idea that is reflected in the concept of Qualities. The cross determines the original life strategy embedded in a person, the form of life development, dynamic process orientation. In this sense, the crosses are opposite to the elements. Elements show static features, stable qualities, temperament.

Crosses - the dynamics of psychology, the elements of the signs of the zodiac - statics.
Crosses are a form of behavior laid down from the very beginning. Each cross unites all four elements.

cardinal cross

Cardinal dynamics is characterized by an impulse, a rush, a sharp surge, followed by a decline.
Cardinal signs of the zodiac- Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

First cross cardinal(circle of will, targets). Signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn. It symbolizes the active principle of Yang, the feeling of a goal, a program. Aries - moving forward. Cancer - moving in depth. Libra - backward movement. Capricorn - upward movement. These signs of aimless development are not tolerated. They always have something ahead of them. The movement to the target is carried out in a straight line and in a strictly specified direction. They are characterized by impulsiveness, initiative, ability and desire to take the first step in a particular matter. They start, move things off the ground, and what happens next is not very interesting to them.

A pronounced representative of cardinal signs is an initiator, a generator of ideas, it is thanks to him that something new begins in life. But such a person is usually unable to continue what he has begun, to bring the idea to life.

Cardinal signs act under the influence of an idea, thought, inner impulse, which is why they are sometimes also called mental.

Cardinal people are very independent, they are not needed, but it happens, and it is impossible to push them, to goad them. When the time comes for a geyser to act, no one will stop it, and it is hardly possible to force it to act. The weakness of such people is that their actions are poorly connected with reality, with the surrounding reality, they are the result of an internal creative process.

If cardinal quality weakly expressed, the person is not proactive, prefers that someone else take the first step in a new direction.

Fixed cross

Fixed dynamics are characterized by constancy, stability, and stability.
Fixed signs of the zodiac- Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Second cross fixed, motionless (circle of feeling). Signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius. It symbolizes the passive principle, Yin, waiting. People of the 2nd cross appear unexpectedly, they must accumulate a critical mass of energy Leo - he can wait a long time, prepare himself for exploits, will not exchange himself for trifles.

The accumulated energy then abruptly passes into a manifested state - a qualitative leap. Scorpio - torments himself and those around him for a long time, and when chaos is pumped to the limit, he sets in motion and for minimum time does a lot. Aquarius - a very long buildup, but a coup, a transformation is being prepared. Taurus - you need to spend a lot of energy to move.

For a pronounced representative of Fixed signs, stability, perseverance, stability (often manifested as stubbornness) are characteristic. Such a person "harnesses" himself into the matter and drags it along, constantly and steadily. It is thanks to the fixed signs that serious, large-scale plans are carried out that require a long application of forces. For such affairs, a high level of vital energy is needed, therefore fixed signs are also called vital.

For Fixed people, it is important to change their state as little as possible. If they work, they will work and work, and do not interfere with them. And if they rest, then the end-edge of their rest is not visible, and woe to those who try to interrupt it.

The strength of the Fixed people is that they are certainly capable, thanks to their stability, to bring to life the ideas and initiatives of the Cardinal people. BUT weak side- misunderstanding of external conditions. They mind their own business and that's it. They are only interested in the environment insofar as it should be comfortable, and that no one interferes.

But in order for the result of their work to find its place in the world, you need to look around, evaluate different opinions, find out what competitors have already done, compare ... As we will see, Mutable people do it best.

Well, the lack of a fixed quality, it is not difficult to guess, manifests itself in insufficient stability, lack of stability, inability to do one thing for a long time and invest significant effort in it.

Mutable Cross

Mutable dynamics is characterized by variability, orientation to external conditions, maneuvering, tacking and choosing the optimal path or method of action.

Mutable characters include: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces.
Pronounced representatives of mutable signs are characterized by openness outside world, the ability to navigate in an environment, to notice and evaluate details and nuances, to use them when choosing a direction.

They are well aware of the opinions of others, what they expect, and therefore they can tell Fixed people what exactly the result of their hard work should be. Many athletes in team sports - that is, where you need to track the constantly changing environment and respond to it - have accented mutable signs. No wonder these signs are also called motor signs.

The Strength of Mutable People- in a remarkable ability to evaluate and take into account surrounding reality. And the weak side is the tendency to get carried away by the endless enumeration of existing possibilities, lose the goal and, as a result, never achieve anything concrete.

They can be so changeable that others are lost in conjecture: what to expect from a Mutable person in the next second. And he himself does not know, it all depends on the surrounding conditions.

It is easy to guess that insufficiently expressed mutability in the horoscope manifests itself as insufficient flexibility, inability to focus on the surrounding conditions and take into account their changes.

So, let's try to explain one of the reasons for our dissimilarity to others with the help of astrology. If the astrological concept of the elements gives us an idea of ​​the nature of the signs of the Zodiac, then the squares of qualities allow us to understand the manifestation of these characters in action. There are three phases of any action: the beginning (initiative), development (continuation of what has been started) and transformation (change of strategy and tactics, when the action in its development becomes obsolete and becomes unpromising).

Zodiac circle gives us three sets (squares) of qualities, the psychotypes of each of which react in a similar way. At the same time, psychotypes belonging to the same square of qualities are better able to implement one of the three phases of action or manifestation. So, let's try to understand this using three behaviors known in astrology as: cardinal, fixed and mutable (or variable).All signs of the zodiac are divided into these groups:

cardinal signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn

fixed signs - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius

mutable signs - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces

In astrology they are called squares or crosses of qualities. To find out which of these types of behavior prevails in your character, you just need to count how many planets of your horoscope are in each of the crosses. If one of them gets largest number than the other two, it is he who most often determines the style of your behavior.However, it is necessary to take into account which planets these are - personal, social or higher. Personal planets, especially the Sun and Moon are more important, their position in itself emphasizes the cross in which they are located. We also necessarily take into account the cross of the Ascendant, since the Ascendant largely determines the external "I" of a person.An example of such a calculation can be found at the end of the article.

Here it should be recalled that in every person there are traits corresponding to all three types of behavior, and a pure type is extremely rare. Usually one of the types prevails over others, but is complemented by their inherent features. Let's try to understand how people behave in which this or that type of behavior prevails.

Cardinal type of behavior

If you, your life partner or your children have the most cardinal signs involved, then you are literally bursting with the desire to immediately begin to act. Such people simply need movement, active actions and a mobile lifestyle, otherwise they quickly begin to experience boredom and their creative potential may simply burn out. Cardinal people represent fearlessness, and the action itself is the motivating factor for starting the implementation of any projects for them. Because they are willing to take the lead, they often become leaders. Their disadvantage is "short breath", they spend too much energy in the first stages of the action and come to the finish line on the last breath. The exception is the psychotype of Capricorn, who knows how to economically distribute his forces to all stages of the path and even leave part of them for the last spurt in order to be the first to reach the finish line. It is easier for people of the cardinal type to start a business than to bring it to completion. They can start a few things, but rarely bring them to the end.

Each of the signs included in the cardinal cross brings into action its own specifics. The Aries psychotype infects with enthusiasm and paves the way. The Cancer psychotype gives the action an emotional coloring and protects the rear during the offensive. Libra brings reasonable motivation to action and controls the interconnection of all constituent parts. The Capricorn psychotype acts in an organized manner, with a specific analysis of the situation, without missing a single favorable circumstance.

If you're dealing with a strong cardinal personality, then a direct confrontation is the best way to get things down to nothing, and do it as quickly as possible! A firm but benevolent defense is best in this situation, as they are not able to wait long, and besides, they are easily discouraged. In order to help the cardinal person to complete his undertakings, he needs to set short deadlines all the time. If the goal is large enough, it's best to break it down into a series of smaller ones that can be completed fairly quickly.

As you already understood, patience is not their main advantage. If you are going somewhere with a person of a strong cardinal type, then, regardless of whether it is an adult or a child, take care to bring enough toys, books, pictures, etc., or make sure you have a lot of topics to discuss, because they constantly need to have something to keep themselves occupied.

fixed cross

Fixed type of behavior

When the fixed type predominates in the birth chart, such a person is most often concerned with issues of protection and safety and prefers to stick to the once and for all routine. This is the psychotype of successors, designers of actions, implementers of ideas. They act methodically and persistently, they care about retaining and increasing what has been achieved, they like to use proven methods. They really do not like any accidents, attempts to introduce something new into the usual routine, do not like change at all. With a strong will, they are true to their beliefs and affections. When they learn something, you can bet anything that this is how they will always do it. Therefore, the first thing to constantly keep in mind is that it is very difficult for them to decide on any changes. When they act within the usual framework, they have a feeling of safety, security, and it is in this that they draw strength - because they always know where they will go and what should happen in the next minute, they do not need any surprises!

The energy that fixed signs give is stability, reliability, stubbornness and, of course, stamina and constancy (sometimes even at a loss). They know how to bring what they started to the end, you can rely on their constancy. A fixed cross is called "permanent", its representatives are characterized by a certain conservatism. These are exactly those people who are too slow in making a decision, are afraid to use the chance that has fallen to their lot or the opportunity that has opened up, as a result of which they lose it. It was they who came up with the saying: “Less is better”. They need constant encouragement and encouragement so that they take the opportunity and make some changes in their lives.

As in the case of cardinal signs, last sign the fixed cross (Aquarius) deviates somewhat from the general type, there is almost no conservatism in it and a very developed spiritual principle, which somewhat reduces purposefulness - Aquarius tends to be distracted from the main task. The Leo psychotype enters into business with enthusiasm, introduces a certain dramatic element into it and strives to keep all the threads in his hands - this is a businessman-organizer. Taurus, on the other hand, gets down to business thoroughly, concretely, and only if he is convinced of the benefits of the event - this is a worker-creator. Scorpio is very emotional. His main motivating motive is "I wish". He immediately finds out all the ins and outs of the case, reveals the springs that put it into action, and very effectively takes on the weakest link. Scorpio is a risk-taker type and often wins the race of life in a dizzying turn. Being, perhaps, the most energetically rich sign of the Zodiac, he loves to “walk on the edge” and “balance over the abyss” in every business. Volodya is the greatest intellectual of the signs of the fixed cross. In every case he strives to have as much as possible more information, continuously modernizes and improves the means to achieve the goal and always sees a distant perspective of events - this is an innovator.

If you have a child with a strong fixed type of behavior, then, as a parent, it is your responsibility to create such an environment for him that he feels in it so protected and out of danger that from time to time he makes (or at least allows) changes in his life. . Such children love everything familiar, and if something in their cozy world is broken, it can cause a feeling of insecurity and even hysteria.

The only way to get a fixed type person to do exactly what you want is to indirect impact. You must, so to speak, "sow the seed" by letting them know what you want and letting them do as they please. You will be surprised with what sense of responsibility your child, having a significant number of planets in fixed signs, will begin to repeat your own actions at the beginning of the task! And then, very soon, he will believe that he has an amazing idea (that is, your idea will be considered his own), and then slowly but surely, he will begin to implement it.

So the main difficulty for people with most planets in fixed signs is that they need to be able to move forward. They need to be nudged (unlike cardinal people who only need to point out the problem), but once they've gotten into it, it's very hard to stop them! Step by step, they will go all the way to the end. A person of a fixed type of behavior only needs to be encouraged and prompted in the direction. If you talk to such people, you will definitely hear complaints that they do not understand where and how to start in order to implement their favorite project! And all just because any change confuses them, and they are able to do only one thing.

If your child is dominated by a fixed type, then during the day he does not need the whole set of toys available in the house, because he will be focused and concentrated on only one thing, and he will selflessly play this game for hours. Sometimes, as mentioned above, this can be a source of problems, because they do not easily give up their habits and have difficulty getting used to the new. You could allow this new thing to come into their lives and shift their psychological mechanisms so that they become more flexible and mobile. Then the goals that need to be achieved over time may be exactly what they need, giving the necessary protection and meaning to their lives.

mutable type of behavior

Changeable (non-permanent) signs:Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. These are the psychotypes of reformers, especially valuable where it is necessary to change the action, to give it new meaning refocus on new goals. Already by the name of this cross, it is clear that people of this type are subject to external influences and take into account the specific situation in their actions. They are characterized by flexibility of mind, good adaptation, ingenuity. They well comprehend the rhythm of the process, the ebb and flow of action, apply flexible tactics. In every action they see positive and negative sides, understand the relativity of everything that is created and often hesitate in choosing a direction.Their flexibility and lability without firm leadership can be transformed into negative qualities - the desire to swim at the behest of the waves, where the wind blows. In critical situations, they are lost not knowing what to do. Intuitively feeling this quality in themselves, they try to evade, elude the decisive “either-or”.

Gemini emphasizes the intellectual side of the action, its relevance to the purpose and environment. Virgo proceeds to action, having carefully analyzed it and attaches great importance to the details of the operation. Sagittarius is involved in the matter recklessly, on a grand scale, without fail having brought a "theoretical base" under it. Pisces manifest themselves emotionally, constantly trying all possible directions and striving for the optimal solution, so that "the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe."

If you are dealing with a person with a strong mutable type (who has most of the planets in the mutable signs of the Zodiac) or if you yourself are such a person, you may find that such people are difficult to manage. They flow around you like a stream of water, get lost in the crowd, succumbing and yielding to the desires of others, and then changing their attitude. And as a result, it often turns out that, succumbing, they achieve that others begin to fulfill their desires and accept their point of view. Children of this type do not know peace and adapt well to the constantly changing environment and living conditions. They are malleable, easily adapt to the environment and are suggestible.

Where cardinal people find ways to change what is happening, mutable people simply adapt to it. Very often they can completely change their personal habits and behavior depending on what kind of people they are in contact with. this moment. These are certainly not people of a fixed type, always remaining true to themselves and to everyone and everyone, demonstrating the same thing. Mutable people are very sensitive and try their best to avoid any direct conflict. They slide from one topic to another, and therefore best method communicating with them is polite but firm approach.

Arm yourself with patience, and let them, albeit in parts, pieces, but tell the truth. Moreover, one part may be contained in one story, the other in a seemingly trifling remark, and so on. If they are forced into rigid conventions, mutables will feel embarrassed because such conventions restrict their freedom to change according to the situation. They are very fond of phrases like: “Enough about it”, “Let's talk about it tomorrow”. Their great strength lies in their ability to respond to changes in the world around them, adapting to them and finding new way existence.

Now you see how just a small part of the information contained in the birth chart helps to understand the motives for different behavior in the same situation.People of the cardinal type will hardly appreciate the instructions and calls for measuredness and following the established orders, which find a warm response from the representatives of the fixed type. The latter are shocked by the need of people of the cardinal type to be in the thick of things and actively influence them. The mutable types, on the other hand, are the most adaptable and seem to be the best at getting along with everyone else, although their restless nature can cause a lot of problems for people with a fixed type of behavior.

Compatibility is not a simple matter, and there can be many complexities here. And we must not forget that in each of us there are traces of each of these three types. Each of us must learn to understand ourselves, and this can be the key to understanding those who are dear to us. We take 10 planets. Let's look at such an example.

The Sun is in Capricorn, a cardinal sign;
The Moon in Aries is another cardinal point;
Mercury in Capricorn is again a cardinal sign;
Venus in Aquarius is a fixed sign;
Mars in Taurus is a fixed sign;
Jupiter in Aquarius is a fixed sign;
Saturn in Cancer is a cardinal sign;
Uranus in Libra is a cardinal sign;
Neptune in Sagittarius is a mutable sign;
Pluto in Libra is a cardinal sign.

The ASC sign must also be added to this list.

Everyone knows about horoscopes. However, few have heard of the cardinal signs of the zodiac. And the topic is very interesting. Therefore, it is worth talking about it briefly.

Definition

Before discussing directly the cardinal signs of the zodiac, I would like to briefly talk about a generalized topic. The fact is that in our daily life we ​​play a lot of different roles. But, nevertheless, each person has a leading type of behavior. There are even certain models of it. There are three in total. And they define behavior types: cardinal, fixed, and variable (or mutable). Accordingly, the signs of the zodiac are divided into the listed groups.

The cardinal signs of the zodiac are Capricorn, Cancer, Aries Libra. The fixed ones are Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo and Taurus. And to mutable, respectively, all the rest. That is, Virgo, Pisces, Sagittarius and Gemini. Each type is a "cross" of qualities. That's what they call it in astrology. And in order to determine which of the listed types is leading for a certain person, it is necessary to calculate the number of planets in his horoscope that are in each of the crosses. But this is a very complex topic. For now, we should only talk about the cardinal signs of the zodiac.

personality traits

A person who has a pronounced cardinal type of behavior is usually characterized by increased activity. He constantly wants to act - this is almost his necessity. Such people need movement, an active lifestyle. They are constantly in search of novelty, vivid sensations. Otherwise, they fade as individuals. And creative or working potential quickly burns out. interesting incidents, adventures - this is fuel for them, a kind of fuel. If this is not the case, then people born under the auspices of cardinal signs will be lethargic, apathetic and passive.

Their families need to know this. If they want to see a cheerful and energetic person next to them, then in the right situation they need to cheer them up, as they say - toss firewood into the fire. To do this is not so easy. No need to try to find a problem, eradicate it or talk for hours on this topic. It is necessary to say a few sincere encouraging phrases from the heart and captivate your loved one with something that is of interest to him. This is the best way.

About character

Analyzing the above, you can understand what the cardinal sign of the zodiac means. Now a few words about the character traits of such personalities. First, they are fearless. These people are really not afraid of anything. And the motivating factor for starting the execution of any deeds is ... the action itself. These individuals often become leaders, as they are often ready to take the initiative. But their major drawback is that they can start several things at the same time, and finish only one.

Secondly, these people are good workers. If they do something, then in good faith. However, there is a “but” here too. They need short deadlines. Give such a person two weeks to complete the project - he will do it in the remaining three days. Indeed, a cardinal personality. And all because the short terms of such people motivate. And people born under the auspices of cardinal signs are terribly impatient. More than anything, they hate waiting. And, of course, waste time. They constantly need to do something. And every action they take must bear fruit. Such is the feature.

fixed type

Naturally, it is impossible not to touch upon this model of behavior, since we are talking about the cardinal signs of the zodiac. The fixed ones have been listed above. Now let's talk about what features they have. So these people hate change. They are for stability. It takes a lot of effort to get them out of their comfort zone. The fact is that when they act within their usual framework, they feel good, safe and secure. And it gives them strength and confidence. They are sure that nothing can go wrong. But in order for their stable flame not to die out, you need to cheer them up. By the way, sometimes they decide to change at the suggestion of close people.

Mutable type

Fixed and cardinal signs were considered above. Mutable zodiac signs also need to be discussed. People born under their patronage are very complex personalities. They are almost impossible to control. And they don't know what to expect. These individuals perfectly adapt to any conditions. If the aforementioned "cardinals" try to change circumstances, these simply adapt. By the way, it is not uncommon for mutable-type individuals to adopt habits and demeanor from others. And people of fixed signs in such situations remain themselves. There are clear differences in this.

By the way, mutable personalities are very sensitive. And they do not like those that strain the situation. Therefore, they try in every way to get away from them. Therefore, if there is a need to clarify something with a person of this type, one must act confidently, firmly, but nonetheless politely. So, you will be able to find a contact.

Compatibility

Above it was briefly told about the cardinal, fixed, mutable signs of the zodiac. Finally, it is worth characterizing their mutual compatibility. The most difficult thing to contact will be two people, one of which belongs to the cardinal type, and the other to the fixed type. It's like fire and water. The Cardinal is always looking for thrills, constantly craving an active lifestyle and change. His friend (colleague, spouse, partner), on the contrary, will try his best to maintain stability. And only a compromise will save the situation. True, often such relationships develop successfully!

A cardinal type person shows the second participant in the relationship that change is not so bad. They bring benefits, diversity in life, perspectives and new experiences. His loved one may even be drawn into this lifestyle. Well, a person of a fixed zodiac sign, on the contrary, extinguishes the ardor of the “cardinal” in the right situations, showing what is happening from an adequate, impartial point of view.

Most simple relationship are added between a person of a mutable sign and a fixed (or cardinal) sign. The first simply adapts to the second - it is not difficult for him. True, with the “cardinals” it can be more difficult. They are more active. They need bright emotions, expression in relationships, a spark. Such personalities can even sometimes flare up, which is difficult for sensitive people of the mutable type to understand. They are used to adapting and being "comfortable" for the rest - and here they are required to do something different, unusual for them. In general, relationships based on the types of zodiac signs are quite interesting topic. But, in principle, in general terms, it can be understood from everything that has been described above.

In astrology, one of the main factors in the formation of a person's character is the ratio of his zodiac sign to one of the 3 types of energy, and not the elements, as is commonly believed. The zodiacal circle is divided into 3 sectors, which professional astrologers called crosses. It is these parts of the Zodiac that own different types energies: Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn), Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) and Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces). Astrologer ELLE I decided to explain why and how these energies differ, what they give to their owners and what kind of karmic connection exists between these signs.

The fixed energy of Aquarius is manifested in their systematic and scientific manner thinking. These people are always persistent in following a clear procedure, and also try to be insured against mistakes in order to obtain accurate results. Each Aquarius is directed to the future, but not as impulsively and carelessly as Aries. Aquarius prefers complete objectivity - he will not have any emotional, momentary ideas.
