The Modalities
(also known as The Quadruplicities)

CARDINAL

The Cardinal signs represent a type of centrifugal radiating energy and correlate with the principle of action in a definite direction.

Aries and Libra are the positive (or ‘male’) cardinal signs and are thus concerned with ACTION IN THE PRESENT, based upon future considerations.

Cancer and Capricorn are the negative (or ‘female’) cardinal signs and are more CONCERNED WITH THE PAST, for example Cancer has a love of home and antiques and Capricorn has great concern for tradition and history.

FIXED

The Fixed signs represent energy that radiates inward towards the center or ‘centripetal energy’.

In their mundane manifestation these signs are associated with the principle of ‘inertia,’ however when the energy is used for creative activity or spiritual development it becomes recognized for great strength in concentration and perseverance.

Of the three quadruplicities the fixed signs are the most centered on the here and now. They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

MUTABLE

The principle of harmony is what correlates to the Mutable signs and may be conceived as spiralic patterns of energy.

Gemini and Sagittarius symbolize spirals of energy directed upward; and these signs are future- oriented, giving rise to the prophetic tendencies of Sagittarians and the endless speculations of Gemini.

Virgo and Pisces symbolize spirals of energy directed downward and thus are connected with the past in some way. Virgo with past crises in the development of the personality and Pisces with past ‘karma’.
