Mutable signs are
Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini and Virgo. They follow the fixed signs
(Aquarius, Leo, Taurus and Scorpio) and are related to the
termination phase when we feel that a given situation is no longer
good for us. In this case you have to make changes, improve something
and correct it in order to adapt to changing conditions. If further
developing a certain project doesn't make sense any longer, you have
to end it.
The individuals with
predominant mutable mode often change their occupation during their
lifetime or have several different jobs at the same time because they
are constantly looking for a profession that will give them not only
money, but also happiness and fulfilment. Their minds are full of new
ideas, so they want to put them into practice immediately, that's why
they abandon the projects started earlier, because they can't wait to
begin something else. These people are never satisfied with the
result of their work, so they want to improve and change something.
They have an extraordinary ability to notice errors quickly and they
correct them immediately. The natives with strong mutable mode need
to have a good plan before they act. Nevertheless, they change it
constantly, even while working on it because they realise that they
can still improve something. Sometimes they are obsessed with
perfectionism which drives them crazy. They are very curious so they
love to learn new things. They believe the best things will to come
to them someday in the future, e.g. even if they are in a happy
relationship, they still think that this is not the right person and
the biggest love of their lives will come later. They have
difficulties with dealing with their present problems, because they
are already resolving the ones from the future. Usually they are very
busy and have no time. They are true masters of doing everything in
the last minute, which is why they are great in jobs where high
resistance to stress is needed. Sometimes these people seem very
chaotic, but surprisingly, they can overcome this chaos as they are
multitasking, so doing several activities at the same time doesn't
cause them any trouble. These individuals cannot stand boredom nor
stagnation. They love changes, because they open the door for the
better future. They prefer to take over projects from others, improve
them and make necessary changes, but if nothing can be done, they
will soon finish the case and start working on something completely
different. A large amount of mutable mode is responsible for great
creativity and the ability to repair broken things which makes these
natives the specialists in endless renovations. It's because they
always want to improve the space around them and make it more
beautiful or harmonious. They often change furniture, wall colour,
electronic devices or household equipment. If they don't feel
comfortable in some place e.g. a house, a town or a country, they
move somewhere else without any regret because they can adapt well to
the new conditions and situations.
When the mutable mode is
missing in the natal chart, then the natives don't like changes
because they are afraid of losing what they have. They prefer to
remain in the present situation, even if it's harmful, e.g. they
don't want to end a toxic relationship nor quit a poorly paid job.
Such people have no idea how to improve the quality of their lives,
so they should use the services of different advisors who show them a
range of new opportunities. The lack or shortage of the mutable mode
shows that the individuals don't look for information that could help
them. They don't like analysing anything nor making plans for the
future, because they don't believe that a change would resolve their
problems. Sometimes they fall into inertia, cut themselves off from
the world and hope that everything will happen without their active
participation. Instead of dealing with their problems, they prefer to
have peace of mind. If the mutable mode is missing in the natal
chart, it's worth staying among people or meeting friends who will
inspire for change and push these individuals in the right direction.
How to calculate the
amount of each element in your natal chart?
The amount of modes and
elements is determined by the positions of the planets in the signs
of the Zodiac but some planets have more influence on the amount of
modes and elements than others. It's easy to count how much of each
mode or element we have in our chart. The most important components
of our chart which give the biggest amount of the certain element or
mode are the Sun, the Moon and the Ascendant. You can give 5 points
for each of them. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are also
important, so you can give 3 points for each of that planet. Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto are less important, so you give only one point for
each of them. Then you count all the points for each mode and
element. If your score is from 0 to 5 points, that means that this
element or mode is missing in your chart. If your score is from 6 to
10 points then you have a good balance of that particular element or
mode. If your score is above 11, you have an excess of some element
or mode.
