What is a fixed sign?

This mode stabilizes the zodiac. Understanding this modality will give you more insights into the associated zodiac signs and their personalities. Like the cardinal signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius each belong to a different element group. The fixed signs are the signs at the heart of the seasons, they are therefore the guardians that consolidate and reinforce change. These folks are very assertive, tenacious and clear-cut. People with many planets in the fixed signs will make lasting commitments without being destabilized by external influences.

What does being a fixed sign mean? - What are the characteristics of these personalities?

As a fixed sign, you are loyal, reliable, courageous, persevering, and hardworking. When you commit yourself, you keep your word and take your responsibilities, but if you are betrayed, you hold a tenacious grudge. This stubbornness is moreover your weak point because it deprives you of an interesting broad-mindedness. You have difficulty adapting, and this rigidity can harm your private life as much as your social life. Fixed signs act concretely in a precise direction, so it is difficult to stop their force or divert them. These signs lack the ability to spread their creativity, a role for which cardinal signs are better suited. This is why these two natures instinctively join their talents, in order to make steady and constant progress.

What are the cons of fixed signs?

One of the downsides of fixed signs is their tendency to become rigid and resistant to change. Their strong determination and stubbornness can sometimes hinder their ability to adapt to new circumstances or consider alternative options and paths. Fixed signs may struggle with letting go of control and may find it difficult to compromise, leading to potential conflicts in relationships and missed opportunities for personal growth. Additionally, their fixed nature can make them prone to holding grudges and being overly possessive, which can strain their relationships and limit their ability to forge new connections.

What fixed means for Taurus — Earth sign, beginning halfway through spring

Taurus is the most dogged zodiac sign, and the fixed modality only reinforces their reluctance for flexibility. Although it’s rare for these natives to get angry, when they do explode, people are often left speechless. These folks are patient, loving, trustworthy, and devoted; just don’t rile them up.

Is a Leo a fixed sign? — Yes, Leo is a Fire sign starting in the middle of summer

Leo natives like to test the limits and are often guilty of starting unnecessary drama and upset. They love being the center of attention and having all eyes on them. Sharing the spotlight is out of the question for them! That being said, they are generous, understanding, and faithful.

Scorpio fixed sign — Water sign falling mid-autumn

Scorpio natives can sting when they feel that they need to stand up for themselves. Their intensity is impressive and can fool people into thinking they are cold and standoffish. Their passionate characters mean they are natural fighters and never back down from challenges.

Aquarius fixed sign — Air sign commencing mid-winter

As the last fixed sign, Aquarius uses their intelligence and sociability to spread their ideals. They are real philanthropists, which is why they choose to take on other people’s problems as well as their own. Helping people is their life’s mission.

Astrologist Susan Taylor's insights:

Fixed signs are loyal, reliable, courageous, persevering and hardworking. When they make a commitment, they keep their word and take responsibility, but if they are betrayed, they hold stubborn grudges. This stubbornness is their main weakness because it deprives them of broad-mindedness. They also find it difficult to adapt, and this rigidity can affect their private life as much as their social life.


Why are fixed signs so attracted to each other?

Fixed signs are just as straightforward and dogged in love as they are in life. They are attracted to people with similar go-getting mindsets, which explains why chemistry between these personalities is so strong. The attraction between Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius is very fiery and often leads to beautiful relationships.

However, signs of the fixed modality don’t accept domination or control. Although they are authoritarian and emotionally unstable, their goals are well-defined.
