House crosses in astrology are mutable. Crosses of qualities in astrology and human horoscope

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. We can say that different representatives of the same element 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 life development, dynamic orientation process. 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, shift business with dead center and what will happen next - they are not very interested.

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 accomplishes a lot in a minimum amount of time. 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 cases it is necessary high level vital energy, 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, and 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 to the outside world, the ability to navigate the environment, notice and evaluate details and nuances, and 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 game types sports - that is, where it is necessary to monitor the constantly changing situation and respond to it - have accentuated 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 the 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.

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.

Frame from the movie "Titanic". Mutable energy representative Jack Dawson managed to adapt to the situation and help save his beloved Rosa (Fixed energy).

Cardinal Energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

In astrology, it is believed that it is the Cardinal energy, which begins with the decisive Aries and ends with the unshakable Capricorn, that is momentum everything that exists. Therefore, representatives of the cardinal cross are distinguished by the strongest internal dynamics, impulsiveness, skill take the first step and move something off the ground. Aries - moving forward. Cancer - moving in depth. Scales - movement from side to side. - upward movement.

Astrologers compare cardinal energy to geyser- such a powerful potential is hidden inside the representatives of this sign. It is worth noting that each of these signs is responsible for different areas of life, where it is fully manifested.

Aries- self-expression. The most straightforward sign of the zodiac. Achieves the desired through incredible strong-willed efforts, usually acts in jerks and more often alone. It is worth saying that Aries quickly get tired, putting a lot of effort into one jerk.

Cancer- family. People of this sign are very attached to their roots, origins, traditions. They draw their strength from simple universal values - a cozy home, spiritual closeness, love for their native land. Cancer always takes care of its rear, its family and needs to deepen into these areas of life. Despite this, these people express their independence and ambition most subtly of all cardinal signs.

scales- diplomacy. Confident movement from side to side, maneuvering between circumstances. Thirst for beauty, aesthetics and polite communication. Easy adaptability and a thirst for everything new: trends, relationships, views of the world. By the way, Libras work best in a team. They are active, influential, and Cardinal energy allows them to contact successful people, just like themselves. So they quickly build up a database of influential friends, connections, and contacts.

Capricorn- career. Representatives of this sign are slowly but stubbornly and steadily moving towards their goal. They know that with excessive haste they can fall down, so the steps of Capricorns are well calibrated and careful. It is worth saying that these people, therefore, they are able to act in one direction for a very long time. By the way, unlike Aries, Capricorns never give all the best, they always save their strength for a decisive breakthrough.

Shot from the film "Diary of Memory". The representative of Fixed Energy Noah patiently and steadfastly walked towards his goal. He built a dream house for Ellie, brought her back to him, and in his old age he helped fight Alzheimer's.

Fixed Energy (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)

In astrology, it is believed that Fixed energy, which begins with stubborn Taurus and ends with strong-willed Aquarius, strengthens what was started by cardinal signs. It is thanks to the fixed signs that serious, large-scale plans are carried out that require a long application of forces. For such cases, a high is needed, therefore fixed signs are also called vital. Representatives of these constellations are distinguished by great resilience, stability, skill wait gathering energy.

Astrologers compare fixed signs with locomotive- first, the train stops at the station and picks up passengers, then it starts to slowly pick up speed, and after a while it simply cannot be stopped. It is worth saying that these people can steadily move towards their intended goal all their lives, gaining energy for the only right shot for years. It is believed that these are the most inert, but also the most energetic and people who are relentless in their actions. Each of the four signs is responsible for a certain area of life, where it maximizes its abilities.

Taurus- money. “Patience and work will grind everything” is a typical motto of representatives of this sign. Taurus like no one else love money and know how to earn it. At first, representatives of this sign tend to stay, but when circumstances begin to put pressure, Taurus quickly mobilize and redo a huge layer of work in a short period of time.

a lion- creation. Astrologers note that representatives of this constellation never exchange for trifles and for a long time prepare themselves for feats in which main value- the power of manifestation of one's creative potential. By the way, realizing himself, each Leo is able to patronize the people around him in the realization.

Scorpion- transformation. These people accumulate for a long time, which eventually degenerates into the ability to quickly and irrevocably change lives and destinies. It is worth noting that Scorpions have a phenomenal ability to transform people and reality, sometimes not the most painless, but the most. in an efficient way. The ideal symbol of the energy of Scorpio is the burning and reborn Phoenix.

Aquarius- idea. Inside all the representatives of this constellation, the dream of transformation and revolution of what appeared due to cardinal signs is ripening. The fixed energy of Aquarians is manifested in their systematic and scientific way of 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. Fixed energy makes him single-minded and persistent in his pursuit of discovery - and the rare Aquarius does not receive a generous reward for his actions.

A scene from the film Gone with the Wind. Scarlett O'Hara - a representative of Cardinal Energy - invested all of herself in gaining status, but in the end Rhett Butler (Fixed Energy), who had been moving towards her goal for decades, helped her achieve what she wanted.

Mutable Energy (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)

In astrology, it is believed that the Mutable energy, which begins with the intellectual Gemini and ends with the navigating Pisces, helps fit and quality change that which was created by fixed signs. Representatives of these constellations are distinguished by their ability to adapt to changing life realities, and their internal strategy is often replaced by tactics.

Mutable (or changeable) signs always follow the latest social trends and set their goals based on the present moment in time. It should be noted that these people reconsider their life goals and methods to achieve them, following the path least resistance.

Astrologers compare representatives of mutable signs with chameleons, because where others lose interest in the idea, mutables breathe into it new life and change themselves. By the way, there is an astrological theory according to which the richest people most often they are representatives of mutable energy.

Twins- information. The most mobile sign of the Zodiac, about which they often say "ahead of the rest." These people quickly grasp the spirit of the times, easily get used to any society, without special efforts absorbing its laws and traditions. These people need constant intellectual stimulation, which makes them one of the most interesting and useful conversationalists. By the way, it is the Gemini who are considered the best advisers, because they know how to look at the problem from different angles and operate with a huge amount of information.

Virgo- labor. The most practical and disciplined people have a unique choosiness that allows them to do almost everything right choice. It is worth saying that the ability to maneuver and change your course gives Virgos the ability to adapt in any conditions.

Sagittarius- education. Representatives of this sign express their mutable energy in matters of philosophy and spirituality. Sagittarians love cultural and mental diversity, which they enjoy exploring during their travels or intellectual pursuits. Such qualities as acceptance and inner humanity allow Sagittarians to become mentors, brilliant patrons and talented managers.

Fishes- the senses. Representatives of this constellation use their mutable property to explore the sensations and emotions of the people around them. Astrologers believe that Pisces are the best psychologists in the horoscope: they unconsciously take on a serious concern for those around them and will always offer information, sympathy, advice according to the situation. It is worth noting that Pisces is the final cycle of everything that was started by Aries and continued by other signs of the Zodiac, so their main function is to help others complete any action.

Frame from the film "Pretty Woman". Vivien, a representative of Mutable Energy, was able to change for new realities in a matter of hours, and also helped Edward (Fixed Energy) to understand his surroundings.

In our Everyday life we have to play many different roles every day. And often, when we are in any relationship, the role we take on dictates the rules of our behavior to us. It turns out a kind of paradox: we want to fully express ourselves, our “I”, but we are constantly forced to spend a lot of effort on the realization of only some of its parts. But mWe will be better able to realize our potential if we understand how we differ from our friends or other people with whom life confronts us. What is the leading type of behavior inherent in us and the people who surround us.

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).

The zodiacal 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 scores the highest number than the other two, then 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 makes the emphasis on 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 it might just 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. Cancer psychotype gives action emotional coloring and protects the rear during the offensive. Libra brings reasonable motivation to action and controls the interconnection of all components. 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, the last sign of the fixed cross (Aquarius) deviates somewhat from 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 information as possible, constantly modernizes and improves the means to achieve the goal, and always sees the distant prospect 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 getting a fixed type person to do exactly what you want is 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 just 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, give it a new meaning, and reorient it towards 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 takes action, carefully analyzing it and giving great importance 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”. Them great power- in their ability to respond to changes in the surrounding world, adapting to them and finding new way existence.

Now you can see how just a small part of the information contained in the birth chart helps to understand the motives 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.

Let's say you were born on January 2, 1974. Here is what you should get:

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.

While the elements of the signs of the zodiac represent certain unchanging qualities and characteristics of the signs, the crosses tell about the strategy of action of various representatives of the zodiac.

The belonging of the sign of the zodiac to the cross shows how a person will act, how he reveals his potential. We can say that each cross is distinguished by a certain way of action and behavior of its representatives, their reactions to life situations.

Cardinal cross of the zodiac signs

The following signs belong to the cardinal cross:

Aries,
scales,
Capricorn.

The cardinal cross is conditionally associated with the male active principle. This is due to the fact that representatives of this cross usually strive to take cardinal leadership positions in life, they try to control the actions of others.

This cross of the zodiac signs distinguishes people who clearly set goals and are in constant motion in the indicated direction.

Aries is moving forward. The most direct sign of the zodiac. If necessary, he can smash obstacles in his path with his forehead. Achieves the desired through incredible strong-willed efforts, usually acts in jerks. Gets tired quickly, putting a lot of effort into one jerk.

Cancer moves back and down. People of this sign are very attached to their roots, origins, traditions. They draw their strength from simple universal values. Cancer always takes care of its rear. He tries to protect his weak points.

Scales move, tacking from side to side. Always strive to find a balance among extremes and opposites. Often they derive their own benefit from the opposition of different points of view existing in society.

Representatives of this sign easily adapt to any new fashion trends and ideas.

Capricorn is moving up. This sign is slowly, but stubbornly and steadily moving towards its goal. He knows that he can fall down, so his steps are well measured and careful. Capricorns set high goals for themselves, they are able to act in one direction for a very long time.

Unlike the ram, they never give everything to the end, they always save their strength for the last decisive breakthrough.

Fixed cross of zodiac signs

The fixed cross includes signs:

Taurus,
Scorpion,
Aquarius.

The fixed cross of the signs of the zodiac is conditionally associated with the feminine passive principle. In order to start acting, these signs need some incentive, a push. Representatives of these signs gain energy gradually, like a locomotive. If they set themselves tasks, they can move towards the intended goal all their lives, while gaining such energy that they cannot stop, even when it is required for security reasons. These are the most inertial, but also the most energetic and adamant in their actions people.

Taurus can be in a calm state for a long time, but if they start to drive him into a corner, he shows unprecedented strength and resourcefulness. In a short period of time, doing a great job and crushing competitors.

Leo also does not like to exchange for trifles. Can sit for a long time, waiting for the right moment. Then quickly in a short time does a huge amount of work, for a while, stopping there.

Scorpio retreats into himself, accumulates emotional energy, passions run high inside him, experiences grow. Finally, his patience comes to a limit and all passions in a deliberate and digested form break out. At the same time, the accumulated issues and problems are resolved emotionally, but quickly and effectively.

Aquarius can sit for a long time without doing anything, but inside him, in the subconscious, a coup, a transformation is ripening.

It happens that people have not met a familiar Aquarius for a long time, when they meet they notice that they have a completely different person in front of them. He has other views on life, other priorities, reasoning, although outwardly he remained the same.

Transforming, Aquarius produces a revolution around itself, doing many things at once in a short period of time.

Mutable cross of zodiac signs

The following signs belong to the mutable cross:

Twins,
Virgo,
Sagittarius,
fishes.

These signs are neither masculine nor feminine. They are conductors between male and female energy. Representatives of these signs are distinguished by the ability to adapt to the changing realities of life. Their life strategy is often replaced by tactics.

They always follow the latest social trends and set their goals based on their need at a given time. Unlike people who belong signs of the zodiac cross fixed, they can quickly review their life goals and methods for achieving them.

Gemini is perhaps the most mobile sign of the zodiac. They quickly grasp the spirit of the times, easily get used to any society, effortlessly absorbing its laws and traditions. They are always aware of the events taking place in the world around them.

Virgo is distinguished by great survival and adaptability. Representatives of this sign are always aware of where and what you can get. These are intellectuals with a pronounced creative orientation. Virgo practitioners who can adapt to any laws and social systems.

Among them, the highest percentage the richest people peace.

Sagittarians are people inextricably linked with society and social activities. Who, if not them, should follow development trends public life. Sagittarius always strive to show off with better side. He knows how to intuitively capture the mood and trends of society, and then present himself in the best possible way.

Pisces are always very sensitive to the mood of the society in which they are. The representative of this sign feeds on the energy of society and very quickly absorbs all the habits of its members. Pisces are always up to date with the latest fashion and style trends.

The signs are located at the intersection of the elements and the cross to which they belong.

In our daily lives, we have to play many different roles every day. And often, when we are in any relationship, the role we take on dictates the rules of our behavior to us. It turns out a kind of paradox: we want to fully express ourselves, our “I”, but we are constantly forced to spend a lot of effort on the realization of only some of its parts. But we will be able to realize our potential better if we understand how we differ from our friends or other people with whom life confronts us. What is the leading type of behavior inherent in us and the people who surround us.

The zodiacal 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 scores the highest number than the other two, then 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.

Cardinal type of behavior

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 components. 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.

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 hitting and multiplying 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!

As in the case of cardinal signs, the last sign of the fixed cross (Aquarius) deviates somewhat from the general type, there is almost no conservatism in it and a very developed spiritual principle, somewhat reducing purposefulness - Aquarius tends to distract 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 set it in motion, and very effectively takes on the weakest link of the event. 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 information as possible, constantly modernizes and improves the means to achieve the goal, and always sees the distant prospect of events - this is an innovator.

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.

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. In addition, they are dependent, so you can always count on them. Sometimes, as mentioned above, this can be a source of trouble, 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, give it a new meaning, and reorient it towards 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. The Virgo enters into action by carefully analyzing 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."

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 people they are with at the 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 the best way to communicate with them is to 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 a new way of being.

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.

We all need love, approval and care, and we all want others to treat us well. If we can understand how we differ from others and why we do certain things, then perhaps it will be easier for us to understand and accept the motives and actions of other people. So why did it happen? Dare!

An example of determining the leading cross according to the horoscope

according to the ephemeris tables or computer programs You determine in which signs of the Zodiac the planets were on the day of your birth, and write out this information. You can also find out the location of the planets in your horoscope by building your own natal chart We take 10 planets. Let's look at such an example.
Let's say you were born on January 2, 1974. Here is what you should get:

The ASC sign must also be added to this list.

It is now easy to determine the dominant type. In this case, cardinal signs were most often encountered. And if you were born on this day, then your character traits are most likely inherent in the cardinal type.
