Astrological signs are divided into three groups, called modalities or qualities. Every modality contains four signs, each of them belonging to a different element. Modality describes how energy flows in the sign and how it is expressed outwardly. The ratio of modalities in the chart tells us what the energy of the individual is like.
CARDINAL MODALITY
The cardinal quadruplicity consists of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.
In the signs of cardinal modality, the energy flows from the individual outwards. This is the most proactive modality. The signs in this group are initiative and enterprising. They are good initiators of change because they know how to speed things up and inspire other people. These signs are natural entrepreneurs.
BALANCE
If the amount of cardinal energy in the chart is in proportion to other modalities, the individual is dynamic and ambitious.
EXCESS
If there is a relatively high amount of cardinal energy in the chart, the individual is domineering and impatient.
DEFICIENCY
If there is a relatively low amount of cardinal energy in the chart, the individual lacks courage and determination.
FIXED MODALITY
The fixed quadruplicity consists of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.
In the signs of fixed modality, the energy is focused and constant. This is the most consistent modality. The signs in this group are stable and reliable. They are good executives because they are committed to the work and carry out the tasks to the end. These signs are natural leaders.
BALANCE
If the amount of fixed energy in the chart is in proportion to other modalities, the individual is steadfast and patient.
EXCESS
If there is a relatively high amount of fixed energy in the chart, the individual is stubborn and inflexible.
DEFICIENCY
If there is a relatively low amount of fixed energy in the chart, the individual lacks perseverance and concentration.
MUTABLE/CHANGEABLE MODALITY
The mutable quadruplicity consists of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
In the signs of mutable modality, the energy is unstable. This is the most versatile modality. The signs in this group are flexible and changeable. They are good team players because they are inclined towards researching, improving, and perfecting their work. These signs are naturally multitalented.
BALANCE
If the amount of mutable energy in the chart is in proportion to other modalities, the individual is considerate and accommodating.
EXCESS
If there is a relatively high amount of mutable energy in the chart, the individual is reluctant and indecisive.
