Cardinal Signs in the Natal Chart


Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th Houses

Keywords: leaders, determined, magnetic, manipulative, creative, selfish, demanding, charming
Cardinal Signs represent key changing points in the cycle of the Zodiac Wheel, just as they do in nature: Aries comes with the spring, Cancer Summer, Libra Autumn and Capricorn Winter. Aries and Libra are Solstice Signs, Cancer and Capricorn Equinox.
These are the extremes in nature, the tipping points, times of change, and it is very present in their nature.
Cardinal Signs are enterprising. They start things, go after what they want and are unafraid to do so. Yet they can’t always follow through.
Naturally, they are leaders, not followers.
Lack of Cardinal Signs in the Chart: When Cardinal Signs make up less than 33% of one’s natal chart they struggle to assert themselves. They are naturally passive to a point that can cause many problems in their professional and personal lives. Lacking in originality, charm and passion they often slip into the background. They are attracted to powerful, loud and brash individuals.
Excess of Cardinal Signs in the Chart: When Cardinal Signs make up more than 33% of an individual’s chart they are highly aggressive and seek to take control of situations. They are determined to get what they want even if it means they must use unsavory methods. Often, they are inconsiderate of the needs of others as they are too focused on themselves. They are drawn to passive, pliable, and unassuming people.
Balanced: When Cardinal Signs make up about 33% of one’s chart they are assertive and seek to take control of situations but not without considering the needs and desires of those around them. They are highly creative, independent and often very successful.
