Also called “quadruplicates” because it’s groups of four. These represent how the signs interact with the world
o Cardinal - Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
-Effacious and self-starters
-Lead and make things happen rather than sit back and watch
-Independent, ambitious, and domineering visionaries
-Start things easily, have trouble completing them
-Abundance of confidence and are assertive
o Fixed - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
-Focused and determined
-Steady, stable
-Consistent energy, that’s smooth and tolerant
-Powerful and can both start and finish projects
-Stubborn and dislike change
-Pursue goals in a safe and orderly format
o Mutable - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
-Flexible and adaptable, and unpredictable
-Can make the most out of a situation
-Open-minded and welcome new ideas
-Tend to be ambiguous, which can cause them to change or lose direction
The Modalities directly correlate, and were "inspired by" so to speak, the seasons.
The Cardinal Signs are the signs of initiation - and they mark the beginning of a Season. The Fixed Signs are the signs of sustainability - and they occur when a Season is at it’s most stable. The Mutable Signs are the signs of adaptability - and they take up the time period when Seasons are changing.
Aries is the beginning of Spring, Taurus is full-fledged Spring, Gemini is the transition from Spring to Summer, Cancer is the beginning of Summer, Leo is Summer at its hottest, Virgo is the transition from Summer to Fall, Libra is the beginning of Fall, Scorpio is full-fledged Fall, Sagittarius is the transition from Fall to Winter, Capricorn is the beginning of Winter, Aquarius is Winter at its coldest, and Pisces is the transition from Winter to Spring.

Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn are called moveable and Cardinal: moveable, because when the Sun enters into Aries and Libra, the Weather and Season of the Year quickly varies and changes; they are called Cardinal, because when the Sun enters into any of those Signs from that time we denominate the Quarters of the yeer. For from the Sun entering into Aries and Libra the Equinoctial or the Spring and Autumne arise; from the Sun his entrance into Cancer and Capricorn ariseth the Solstice of Summer and Winter.
The Fixed Signs doe in order follow the Equinoctial and Tropicks; and they are called fixed, for that when Sun enters into them, the season of the yeer is fixed, and we doe more evidently perceive either Heat or Cold, Moysture or Drinesse. The fixed Signes are these, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius.
Common Signes are constitutes between moveable and fixed, and retain a property or nature, pertaking both with the preceding and consequent Sign
