The nature of these signs impels them to action, initiation, and creation. They seek and bring about change and actively work to make things happen. They make decisions quickly, taking action and leading others according to their vision. Natural leaders, they do not like to take orders or to deal with people or situations that represent an obstacle to their entrepreneurial spirit.

How is the Cardinal Mode Manifested in Signs?
In an astral map, with four or more planets in Cardinal Zodiac Signs, willpower and the desire for leadership are characteristics that stand out among all others. Mastering the Cardinal Mode can nullify the Sun's position in a more placid (or "passive") and receptive Sun Sign, and be the key to success.
Aries
- March 21 to April 20 -
It is the sign where the expression of the Fire element is most dynamic. With immense willpower, he has an enterprising personality and maintains control, being one step ahead of everyone else.
Cancer
- June 22nd to July 22nd -
Sign restrained by the element Water, concentrates the Cardinal energy in a lighter way, but no less ambitious for that. He has a tenacious personality that seeks emotional control, especially over home and family.
Libra
- September 24th to October 23rd -
This seems to be the least determined of the Cardinal signs. However, he demonstrates his Cardinal quality in the desire to control his social relationships and in the controlling way he manages the situations in which he is involved.
Capricorn
- December 22 to January 20 -
It is the sign where the Cardinal element stands out the most. This adds the determination that the Earth element normally lacks, making this negative sign one of the most ambitious in the Zodiac.
Influence of Cardinal Signs on Planets
Positioning in a Cardinal Zodiac Sign energizes a planet, reinforcing willpower and the strong desire for leadership, the most evident characteristics of Cardinal Signs.
Dynamic Planets
When placed in Cardinal Signs, strength and leadership characteristics are further enhanced. Mars, for example, can be unstoppable in fiery, positive, and Cardinal Aries. Dynamic planets are active and reactive planets, which initiate change and have a masculine quality.
Placid Planets or Passive Planets
When these types of planets are energized in the Cardinal signs, they can become nervous and irritable.
Neutral Planets
When they are positioned in Cardinal Zodiac Signs, they tend to express themselves more clearly. Neutral planets are planets without significant energy that can be passive or dynamic, depending on the planets they are associated with.
