Mutable Signs
As we have learned basically, the Cardinal Signs begin things and are the “boss” while the Fixed Signs carry out what the Cardinal Signs have started. The Mutable Signs are actually the communicators in astrology. The Mutable Signs help keep the peace between the other two qualities. Mutable Signs tend to desire change, renewal, and stimulation and are quite adaptable. Those with strong Mutable qualities would rather talk it out rather than fight about something. Additionally, Mutable Signs tend to want to avoid responsibility. The Mutable signs include Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
Gemini
The Gemini, or the twins, is an air sign ruled by Mercury. Anyone born between May 22nd and June 21st belong to this sign. The Gemini keywords to remember include witty, communicative, mobile, talking, lying, traveling on short trips, doing two things at once. Gemini is represented by the twins because it is really the only sign that can successfully pull off doing two things at once and can also be of two extremes, almost like a split personality. The location of Gemini in a chart can help indicate where you have trouble dealing with emotions and where you excel at handling multiple tasks.
Virgo
The Virgo, or the virgin, is born between August 24th and September 22nd. This sign is an earth sign ruled by Mercury and represents utilitarianism, precision, and criticism. Almost any Virgo will have a critical point of view although they can also make excellent workers since they have great attention to detail. The location of Virgo will usually indicate detailed expression, work, or even service of some sort. The sign is represented by the Virgin because for the Virgo, everything is done with such gusto, purity, and precision that it seems like the first time.
Sagittarius
The Sagittarius is represented by the centaur, which is also sometimes referred to as the archer. People born between November 23rd and December 21st belong to Sagittarius. The sign is a fire sign that is ruled by Jupiter. When considering the sign, you should always remember keywords such as jovial, travelling long distances, philosophy, story-telling, carefree, spontaneity, and wanderlust. Those with a strong Sagittarius influence will say what they think without hesitation. The sign is considered to be good luck and its location will represent travel, adventure, and excitement for something new in an astrological chart.
Pisces
The Pisces, or the fish, is born between February 19th and March 20th. This water sign is ruled by Neptune, appropriately. Pisces is compassionate, helpful, sensitive, sociable, adaptable, and hard to get a hold on. Other keywords to associate with this sign are dreams, illusions, dancing, imagination, other-worldly, and substance abuse. A person with a strong influence from Pisces will be the type that can be alone in a crowded room, spacey, and in a dreamlike state much of the time. No matter where Pisces appears in an astrological chart, it will influence that aspect of your life as if it were a drug.
