Cardinal
Cardinal signs are initiators - knowing what they want and how to go about getting it. They like to initiate action and have a strong sense of motivation. They are excellent at coming up with ideas for projects, but unfortunately often fail to follow these through.
Fixed
Fixed signs, as their names indicate, appreciate routine and can be rigid or stubborn in their attitudes. They are, however, tenacious, loyal, and dedicated. They can be slow to get started but are determined and persistent and will always finish whatever project they start.
Mutable
Mutable signs are flexible, happy to fill any assigned role. They are versatile and enjoy variety, adapting easily to changing conditions. However, they can also be complex, unstable and inconsistent, but tend to be easy going - forgiving and forgetting quickly.
