Astrology: Your Signature Sign
Although not as well known or often discussed as other facets of a natal chart, your signature sign can still reveal a lot about you. In astrology, your signature sign is the sign that’s most specific to you, and you’ll discover that the characteristics of this sign repeat themselves often in your chart.
To find it, add up the modalities and elements of your planets – the most frequent modality and element in your natal chart will then combine as your signature sign. This sign is not necessarily the same as your sun sign or rising sign. Sometimes, people don’t even have planets in their signature sign. However, chances are you can highly identify with the qualities of this zodiac sign.
Every sign has its element and modality, and they are key to calculating your astrological signature sign. There are four elements: fire, earth, air, and water, and there are three modalities: cardinal, fixed, and mutable. Each zodiac sign is a unique combination of an element and a modality.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Fire signs are enthusiastic, optimistic, and extroverted. They have a lot of energy. Fire signs are very inspirational and they have good leadership skills.
Earth signs, on the other hand, are focused on the reality of the physical world. They want to provide and get the work done. Earth signs are known as hard-working, persistent, organized, and realistic.
Air signs represent the intellect. They have a mental approach to life, and they are fascinated by a good conversation, a mind-blowing book. They are usually very smart. Air signs tend to rationalize feelings.
Water signs are associated with emotions and intuition. There is a touch of mystery to the element water. If this element is dominant in your chart, you are intuitive, kind, sympathetic, and process information on a more subconscious level.
Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Mutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
Cardinal signs are active and like to take action. They love change and like to initiate them, too. They want to be in charge of their own lives, and they have the courage and self-motivation to do so.
Fixed signs are here to finish what cardinal signs started. They are persistent and hard-working, keeping their word. Fixed signs dislike changes, except maybe if it was their own choice to do something in a different way. It’s hard to change the mind of a person who has fixed signs emphasized in their natal chart.
Mutable signs embrace change. They need versatility, however, they often lack follow through. The role of mutable signs is to explore and find alternative ways to do something. They easily become bored.
Every zodiac sign has its unique corresponding element and modality. There are three signs of each element and four signs of each quality or modality. However, there are not two signs of the same element and quality.
Sagittarius: mutable fire
Capricorn: cardinal earth
To calculate your signature sign in astrology, you have to add up the element and modality of the signs where your planets are in your natal chart.
First, look to your sun. Find the element and modality of your sun sign.
Next, find your Moon. Again, find the element and modality of it.
Repeat this process for all the planets in your natal chart: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
After you’ve finished this, move on to the ascendant and the Midheaven. These two placements are very important in astrology, and they have a great influence over your personality. Find their element and modality, and add them to your list.
Find the element where you have most of your planets. Next, find the modality, and combine them into a zodiac sign. For example, if your dominant element is fire, and your dominant modality is cardinal, referencing the table above, your signature sign would be Aries!
If you have an equal number of planets in two elements or qualities, you have an ambiguous signature sign. To break this tie, leave out your midheaven placement and re-calculate your list.
