astrological triplicities

• Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed
• a starter, a producer, a finisher … 12 zodiac signs are subdivided into 3 qualities (also called modalities and triplicities)
• Cardinal signs would be the stars, or the promoters, or the trendsetters (influencers)
• Fixed signs would be the patient workhorses who produce the output, authorities
• Mutable signs would be the editors who take the near-finished product and do the final mastering and remixing, love to tinker, mavens
• A plan can be sparked by a Cardinal sign, built by a Fixed sign, then perfected with the critical eye of a Mutable sign

• expression: express himself again, integrating new feelings and perceptions into actions
