Besides the fact that the zodiac signs correspond to the elements, they are also influenced by crosses. In astrology, cardinal, fixed, mutable crosses are no less important for determining the main character traits of a person than combinations of planets and elements.
Each of the crosses, just like the natural elements, corresponds to certain signs of the zodiac, four for each of the symbols.
What is the difference from the elements?
The elements are a kind of material from which a person's character is molded. But this material does not determine the type of behavior, nor individual inclinations, nor temperament.
For example, the air - it can be sultry or cold, fresh, stagnant, or something else. The same applies to other natural phenomena of the zodiac - fire, water and earth. The same water is the ocean, and a mountain stream, and a swamp. Accordingly, people born underthe influence of one of the natural elements, can be radically different in their own behavior and attitude towards the world around them.
Elements affect only static, fundamental human traits, but do not reflect the dynamism of behavior and the intensity of temperament. Crosses, on the other hand, have a narrower meaning, they determine the specific qualities of people. The following traits depend on which cross patronizes the constellation:
- lifeline building strategy;
- dynamic response to the surrounding reality, interaction with it;
- speed of development, orientation and so on.
This means that the cross determines the specific traits inherent in people, and the elements - the general type of behavior.
What do astrological crosses characterize?
Each cardinal cross in astrology has its own qualities. The characteristic, in abbreviated form, of the properties that crosses endow people with, looks like this:
- sharp impulses, impulsiveness, instant energy upsurge with the same rapid decline - what gives the cardinal symbol;
- slowness, a thorough approach to everything that exists, stability and gradualness in life - the qualities of signs under the influence of the fixed;
- variability, easy adaptation to what is happening around, the ability to maneuver in emerging circumstances and the talent for manipulation - these traits are born under the auspices of the mutable.
Of course, to determine what psychological type a particular person has, someonly few crosses. the totality of behavioral stereotypes is made up of a combination of all astrological elements.
What signs correspond to crosses?
Any - cardinal, mutable, fixed cross, like each of the natural elements, affects only "their" zodiac constellations, more precisely, people born strictly at a certain time.
The fixed cross affects those born under the auspices of the constellations:
- Aquarius;
- Lion;
- Taurus;
- Scorpio.
The cardinal cross gives certain character traits to those people who were born under the signs:
- Capricorn;
- Libra;
- Aries;
- Cancer.
The mutable cross shapes the behavioral tendencies of people whose birth was influenced by:
- Gemini;
- Pisces;
- Sagittarius;
- Virgo.
The influence of the cross is joined by the action of planets, natural elements and other astrological elements. As a result of this merger, certain qualities of character and the type of human behavioral reactions are laid down at birth.
How does the cardinal cross affect?
The very name of this symbol is very interesting. The cardinal cross is the main one, those born under its influence cannot be ignored or simply not noticed. These people are born with the ability to change the world around them.
The symbol endows people at birth with the following qualities,determining their future life:
- determination;
- assertion;
- immunity to failure;
- activity in everything;
- mobility;
- ambition;
- stubborn but not overwhelming;
- tendency to take initiative;
- leadership qualities;
- emotionality;
- hotness.
The properties of character that the cardinal cross bestows on people are quite contradictory. Those who were born under his patronage usually do not need external energy, psychological or other incentives, on the contrary, they endow others with their own life force. However, these people are extremely important such nuances as the approval of others, obedience and their willingness to follow those born under the auspices of this cross.
What exactly gives the cross its signs?
This symbol in Asian philosophy corresponds to the sign "Yang", that is - an active driving principle, in every sense. The cardinal cross supplements the description of signs with such core qualities as the direction of a person’s movement on the path of life:
- Aries - go ahead;
- Cancer - deep;
- Scales back;
- Capricorn - up.
This applies to everything the representatives of the constellations do in life. That is, for example, when studying a subject in a school course, Aries will strive to move forward as soon as possible, to learn further material. These children often read next year's textbooks, but never look forward to learning more.literature and do not repeat what they have learned.
Crayfish, on the contrary, are distinguished by thoughtfulness, deep immersion in the material being studied. These people are prone to a thorough mastery of the current, a complete understanding of all the details. They do not repeat what they have learned and do not get ahead of themselves. Libra, on the contrary, follow the saying "Repetition is the mother of learning." Those born under this constellation do not strive to get ahead of the curriculum, if we continue the analogy with the school, but they also do not differ in the desire to study the subject in depth. Capricorns are on the move. For this sign, grades in the school magazine and diary report card are important. Capricorn is indifferent to knowledge itself, but certificates of honor and a red diploma are extremely important.
About the impact on Aries
The signs of the cardinal cross are "opened" by Aries. It was those born under this constellation who fully got such a quality as the ability to move a process off the ground or start something.
However, Aries, along with a unique talent to initiate absolutely any business, from a political campaign to digging a garden, along with the ability to captivate and organize people, have also received such a quality as an early loss of interest. That is, representatives of these signs quickly begin to get bored inside the business or process they have begun, this happens immediately, as soon as their undertaking becomes debugged and brings the first results.
There is no need to fight this feature of the psychological perception of life, it is impossible to break what is invested from birth. Violence against oneself will only lead to neurosis and depression. This character trait of Aries should be taken into account when choosing activities in life. They are the best "motors" of everything in the world, but they are not able to deal with the daily monotonous current work. In other words, starting the locomotive is for Aries, but managing the train on the way is for other signs of the Zodiac.
About the effect on Cancers
People born under this constellation, the cardinal cross bestowed a natural need to get to the bottom of the essence, to perceive everything around, from things and people to any processes, not superficially, but deeply.
Those born according to this sign constantly feel a lack of knowledge, emotional experiences, feelings and other things. These people are always closely within the given limits. They are not the type to seek change or pursue risky ideas. However, it is Cancers who are the best leaders. Under the leadership of these people, others feel stability and confidence in the future. Business or something else under the leadership of Cancer will never cease to exist, but it will not develop anywhere either.
In creative professions Cancers are good artisans. They make excellent copyists, followers of certain schools, adherents of the canons. If, for example, Cancer begins to shoot a feature film, then it will be a high-quality strong cocktail of time-tested and loved by the audience artistic techniques and an abundance of star names in the credits. Experiments are alien to these people, in whatever area they work.
On the influence on the sign of Libra
Cardinal cross inAir signs astrology plays the role of a limiter. That is, it is the traits bestowed by the influence of this symbol that help Libra to maintain adequacy and harmony within themselves, as well as share these qualities with others. In other words, the influence of the cross does not allow the air current to turn from a breeze into a tornado.
But this restriction does not always work well for the person who encounters it. Libra can keep a storm of feelings inside for many years, and, moreover, so that none of those around them will guess about the whirlwind of emotions sweeping through the soul of representatives of this sign.
It is impossible to force the representatives of Libra to share passions, since the innate qualities, due to the cross, do not allow this. People born under this constellation should initially avoid everything that can give rise to resentment and other passions in them that destroy their inner harmony.
On the influence on Capricorns
What does the cardinal cross mean in astrology for Capricorns is an interesting question. Capricorns are under the influence of the earth. This element gives them such qualities as the ability to "reborn" after experienced failures, inviolability and extreme fertility in any of the spheres of life.
The symbol of the cross enhances these qualities of the constellation and gives those born under this sign others. For example, Capricorns, unlike other earth signs, are able to start new projects and inspire other people. Unlike Aries, Capricorn is able not only to launch a business,but also to bring it to a complete finale. Those born under this constellation will never be able to captivate with utopian goals and chimera plans. They are extremely practical, prudent and smart. Capricorn will even implement his own ideas only in those cases when he sees in them an opportunity to get a tangible practical result. Such an influence on people born under this constellation has a cardinal cross.
On the relationship of crosses and the sense of time
Each of these astrological symbols is tied to a specific temporary form. This also gives specific qualities to people born under their auspices.
Fixed symbolizes the past. People under its influence cherish memories and tend to "stop the moment." They make excellent photographers or historians.
The cardinal cross is the time that has not yet come, that is, the future. People under his patronage have developed intuition, speed of reaction. They are able to anticipate events and prevent them.
The mutable sign is the present tense. That is why the life of people born under its influence is in constant motion. For representatives of the signs of this cross, there is nothing permanent or boring, their every day is filled with changes. These people live "here and now" without long-term plans and without looking back.
