Nefertiti's Realm The Modes

The Modes, represent the process of life. The Cardinal mode represents the power needed for creating life and represents forward movement. The Fixed mode is the desire to experience love and fulfillment and represents the preservation of the present. The Mutable mode is the thinking mind which learns from the past, decides what knowledge needs to be retained and plans for the future. The modes cycle four times through the zodiac in the order Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable. The four quadrants of the zodiac are each composed of one mode cycle. In the first quadrant, Aries is Cardinal, Taurus is Fixed, and Gemini is Mutable. Every stage of life, represented by the quadrants, goes through the same process of the three modes. In addition, the entire zodiac can be divided into modes. The first third of the zodiac represents the Cardinal mode, the second third represents the Fixed mode, and the final third represents the Mutable mode.
