The three modalities in astrology
WHAT'S YOUR SIGN?
Modalities describe how signs move a season: Cardinal signs initiate, Fixed signs sustain, and Mutable signs adapt and transition.
A chart with one modality emphasized may have a clear tempo, but every life still requires all three functions.

Using modalities in chart interpretation
Compare modality distribution with angular planets, the chart ruler, and the actual problem being explored. Initiating, sustaining, and adapting each have a strength and a pressure pattern.
Compatibility can become easier when two people recognize that they are negotiating tempo, not simply stubbornness or inconsistency.
