Everything You Need To Know About Astrology's 4 Mutable Signs

Mutable signs come at the end of each season. Gemini marks the end of spring, Virgo for summer, Sagittarius for fall, and Pisces at the end of winter.

This "ending" energy, the twins explain, makes mutable signs adaptable, good with change, and almost like the "editors of the zodiac."

They add that mutable signs, "take all the ideas, systems and information that other signs have built, and perfect it, getting it ready for prime time."

Compared to the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn), who start every season and are the leaders and trendsetters of the zodiac, and the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius), who are in the middle of each season and excellent at pushing things along and offering structure to plans, mutable signs are all about adaptability.

Each of the three classifications of cardinal, fixed, and mutable include one sign of each element. In the case of Gemini, they embody mutable air.

Virgo is mutable earth, the twins say, so they bring their adaptability and refining skills to planning and organization (think: spreadsheet central.)

The fire of the mutable signs, Sagittarius is all about action, according to the twins and, particularly, getting other people to take action.

If Sagittarius is good at getting projects unstuck, Pisces, which is mutable water, can get people's emotions unstuck. "Sometimes at their own detriment," the twins add, "because they can walk into a situation as an empath and suddenly trigger all these dormant feelings in people."

Mutable signs often get along well with one another. The twins do note that because the signs are all either square or opposite from each other on the zodiac wheel, which can be a challenging angle, these signs can get into power struggles if they don't play to their own strengths and "stay on their turf," so to speak.

"But when they do get along, they make incredible duos; they can be very complementary," the twins say.

Since all of the mutable signs enjoy stimulating conversation, they can exchange great ideas and have very productive brainstorming sessions. It may just take some patience for those get-togethers to happen since mutable signs are known for being a bit flaky.

While being an adaptable mutable sign is a great thing, it can also come with its own set of challenges.

First and foremost, the twins say that mutable signs need to stay aware of their tendency to "bite off more than they can chew." They should be wary of taking on too many projects and getting overwhelmed and know where their limits are. Just because you're good at multitasking doesn't mean you always should do it!

It also never hurts to keep a balance of cardinal and fixed signs in your life, the twins add. "Fixed signs can be very grounding," they explain, noting that they're good at "cutting through the BS and the fluff of indecision." (Mutable signs are known to talk themselves in or out of anything, which can lead to lots of second-guessing.)
