Fixed Zodiac Signs embody qualities of preservation, stability, and reliability. They mark the middle of each station. They are resistant to change, preferring a rigid routine and a regimented lifestyle. They want everything to stay the same - forever. Fixed signs are seen as slow but determined, stubborn but confident, and persevering. These are loyal personalities who insist on finishing what they start, even when it would be wiser to give up. On the downside, inflexibility can lead to isolation.

- Fixed Personality - These signs resist change, preferring a rigid routine, and a regimented and stable lifestyle. The fixed personality wants everything to stay the same, nothing to change, forever. Even being a Fire sign, as is the case with Leo, the fixed signs are conservative, they don't like to initiate anything, they need consistency and a feeling of control.
How is the Fixed Mode Manifested in the Signs?
Four or more fixed planets in the birth chart result in an extremely stubborn personality who rarely changes his mind and hates change. Such a preponderance of Fixed energy can surpass even the most fluid or flexible of sun signs.
Taurus
Perhaps the most conservative of the Fixed signs, as quality reinforces the desire for stability at all costs, of the Earth element. While reliable, this personality's cautious attitude towards life can be contradictory.
Leo
The least flexible of all the signs of Fire, it gives a little glimpse of the impetuosity of fire. It also shows their difficulty in adapting to change.
Scorpio
This sign has an intensity that masks a profound intractability. The fixed quality gives stubbornness to the normally affable Water element, which can lead to emotional stagnation in this sign.
Influence of Fixed Signs on Planets
Planets are most intractable when they are placed in Fixed Signs, which tend to bring out their worst characteristics. Sometimes, however, this type of placement can give strength and stability to a dynamic and constructively used planet, a neutral planet. Positioned in Fixed signs, Mercury may be dogmatic, but it also suggests a great capacity for analysis.
