    Fixed signs incorporate qualities of preservation, stability, and reliability. They mark the middle of each season. They are resistant to change, prefer a strict routine and a regulated lifestyle. They want everything to stay the same, forever. Fixed signs are seen as slow but determined, stubborn but confident, and persistent. These are loyal personalities who insist on finishing what they started, even when it would be wiser to quit. On the downside, inflexibility can lead to isolation.

    How is Fixed Quality Manifested in Signs?

    Four or more Fixed planets in the birth chart result in an extremely stubborn personality, who rarely changes his mind and hates changes. Such a preponderance of Fixed energy can overcome even the most fluid or flexible Sun signs.

    Taurus

    Perhaps the most conservative of the Fixed signs, since this quality reinforces the Earth element's desire for stability at all costs. Although this personality's cautious attitude towards life is reliable, it can be contradictory.

    Leo

    The least flexible of all the Fire signs hint at little of the impetuosity of Fire. It also shows difficulty adapting to changes.

    Scorpio

    This sign has an intensity that hides a deep intractability. The fixed quality confers stubbornness to the normally affable Water element, which can lead this sign to emotional stagnation.

    Aquarius

    The fixed sign of the Air, an element known for its flexibility can be extremely inflexible, according to its planetary coregent the sun. Like Scorpio, Aquarius can become a prisoner of fixed patterns of behavior, thus mirroring its other ruler, Uranus.

    Influence of Fixed Signs on Planets

    Planets are most unmanageable when placed in Fixed signs, which tend to bring out their worst features. However, sometimes this type of positioning can give strength and stability to a dynamic and constructively used planet, a neutral planet. Positioned in fixed signs, Mercury can be dogmatic, but it also suggests a great capacity for analysis.
