A fixed sign is Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius. Each follows a cardinal sign in the zodiac’s repeating three-stage sequence.
Astrological traditions associate the fixed modality with sustaining, concentrating, or stabilizing. “Fixed” is not a diagnosis of stubbornness, and a single fixed placement cannot describe a whole person.
Each fixed sign belongs to a different element. It follows a cardinal sign and precedes a mutable sign.
