THE MODALITIES IN SYNASTRY

We discussed Synastry in our post on November 20, 2019.  Today we are going to go a little deeper.  As we discussed, Synastry is a comparison chart of two individuals.  It looks into the aspects between planets and points in the two natal charts.  But we also need to look into the modalities between these individuals to get a clearer understanding of how these individuals relate with one another.

The modalities are Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable. 

The Cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.  Because Cardinal signs are known for being active, ambitious and have a wish to be involved in what is taking place, they are known for being motivated.  Strong Cardinal individuals are usually quite strong in their beliefs and will argue points when they deem it necessity.  They will not sit back uninvolved and therefore may be involved in arguments and disruptions.  If both parties have strong Cardinal energy in their charts, together they can be involved in a somewhat stormy relationship. 

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. 

Fixed individuals tend to be just that, fixed.  They can be fixed in their opinions and are not easily swayed.  They can be resolute, persistent and are also known for having strong wills.  As a result, these individuals tend to not be very flexible.  Sometimes they feel the need to speak their truth but other times they do not feel the need to prove that they are right.  They recognize that it is not important to sway others into what they believe.  Some Fixed individuals however may push their beliefs due to their persistence.  In relationships where there are many combinations of the fixed signs, there can be a somewhat standoffish attitude as they refuse to be pushed or pressured into things.

The Mutable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.  Mutable individuals tend to be flexible, versatile and somewhat flighty.  Although they are adaptable and restless, they can also be moody and not satisfied with things for any extended period of time.  They need versatility and change in life and therefore are not always reliable.  In some cases a relationship with these individuals can feel as though they are overly picky as they seem to see all the little flaws in the flow of the connection.  There are likely to be many ups and downs with this connection, although it really does not matter which modality you are talking about, as, any shortcomings can be rectified if both partners are willing to do work to make it work.
