Mutable Signs: Who Are They, And What Does This Modality Mean?

Last updated by Susan Taylor

What are mutable signs? Well, if you are a Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you belong to this modality in astrology. The 4 members of this group represent the conclusion of each season and the moment when something comes to an end so that another can be born. 💫 Natives of this mode are therefore naturally willing to enforce changes in the world and have remarkably optimistic attitudes towards life. Susan Taylor reveals how being a mutable sign impacts your personality.

Mutable Signs: Who Are They, And What Does This Modality Mean?

What does it mean to be a mutable sign in astrology?

⭐ Mutable signs have a knack for learning from past situations and not repeating the same errors. Accepting change is easy for them. These 4 select signs bring their respective season to a close; a role which allows them to acquire wisdom, insight, and knowledge. Their chameleon like behavior means they make good choices throughout life. The mutable signs are the signs that close the seasons, meaning they bring flexibility and adjustment. These folks are adaptable, sensitive signs that often doubt themselves.

What is a mutable personality? - Here's what Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces are known for

Mutable signs are known for their adaptability. These folks are a bit impressionable, confused, fickle, or casual. You tend to question yourself constantly, to flee from constraints or responsibilities. You are not stubborn, but you change your mind all the time, which can be just as tiring for your partners. Often, you function by periods of temporary stability than in reversals as sudden as brief, one often finds you elusive. This somewhat cyclothymic attitude can sometimes be detrimental to your interests and to the stability of all your achievements. It would be good to become aware of it in order to correct what can be corrected by developing your perseverance and confidence in your judgments or your intuitions.

Gemini mutable sign — 🌬️ Air sign that ends spring

Gemini personality is a sociable and curious being that thrives on being around other people with common beliefs. This sign is also known for its unstable and reactive personality. Gemini is very fickle and can change their mind in record time. Their natural eagerness is often interpreted as carelessness.

Virgo mutable sign — 🌏 The Earth sign that concludes summer

Virgo personality natives are naturally anxious and hardworking. They are perfectionists, which explains why they scrupulously analyze every detail of situations. This sign is adaptable on a practical level, which ties in well with the idea of them constantly searching for new ways to progress.

Sagittarius mutable sign —  🔥 The Fire sign that ends autumn

These fiery natives are enthusiastic learners and adore discovering new things and perspectives. Sagittarius personality people have a natural thirst for travelling and adventures. Acquiring knowledge and being able to understand new points of views are important for this sign.

Mutable signs in love — Are two of them compatible?

Typically, natives of mutable signs are better matched with fixed signs or cardinal signs. Two personalities of the mutable modality wouldn’t exactly be disastrous, but they’d have trouble taking things forward and making important life decisions together. They have the wisdom to counterbalance the intensity of the cardinal signs and are able to understand fixed signs on a deeper level.

Do fixed, and mutable signs get along?

Fixed signs and mutable signs have different attitudes and expectations in love, and this may impact their compatibility. While fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) tend to be more stable and resistant to change, mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) are generally adaptable and flexible. And, this could be a recipe for disaster.

In some cases, the contrasting qualities of fixed and mutable signs can create a harmonious balance. Mutable signs can provide the flexibility and adaptability that fixed signs may need, while fixed signs can offer stability and grounding to mutable signs. However, this relationship won't be without its challenges.

Susan Taylor’s insights: Strong personalities

In astrology, it's the nuance that counts. To truly understand a sun sign, you need to explore its associated mode. So, now that you understand how modes are defined, let's take a look at each one and see what they mean and how they shape your personality.  

If you have questions about your future, if you need answers, don't hesitate to make an appointment with one of our psychics.
