In short: Your life is influenced by an ever changing inner-world (astrological) and outer-world (physical) environment and your capacity to adapt successfully to these changing situations presents a problem.
Adaptability is the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions. It’s your capacity to make cognitive and behavioral adjustments to changing life circumstances and your birth chart reveals the quality of your character – whether you are fixed and rigid, active and restless or adaptable.
Energy that is active and restless develops into a habit-system that seeks new things to do. It takes action – something must be done.
Energy that is fixed and rigid develops into a habit-system that is determined and resistant to change. It’s not inclined to give in.
Energy that is adaptable develops into a habit-system that easily adjusts to new conditions. It makes the best of every situation.
Sign quality determines adaptability
You can assess your capacity to adapt by referring to your birth chart and analyzing the layout of the planets in regard to their sign positions.
The movable signs take action and if you have planets (or the ascendant or Midheaven) in Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn you will display their quality of activity and inclination to try something new.
The fixed signs are determined. They stick things out and resist change and if you have planets (or the ascendant or Midheaven) in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius you will display their quality of inflexible resolve.
The mutable signs are adaptable. They go with the flow and easily adjust to new conditions and if you have planets (or the ascendant or Midheaven) in Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces you will display their quality of easy adjustment to changing circumstance.
But, the planet-sign layout in your birth chart will reveal that your character or soul is composed of all three qualities and your job is to analyze the planet-sign data to determine your capacity to adapt and your chart’s astrodyne report makes the analysis easy.
It presents a chart data summary which measures the volume of movable, fixed and mutable energy and converts these measurements into a percentage. So, you can analyze the data in regard to what’s strong and weak to determine – quite accurately – your capacity to adapt to ever changing conditions.
The energy with the highest percentage will be your outstanding quality; and the energy with the lowest will be noticeably lacking. If two energies have a similar percentage score you will be a combination of both qualities.
Your objective is to determine if you are active and eager to try something new, fixed and inclined to resist change, or able to adapt and adjust to your changing life circumstances.
If one quality is decidedly lacking you can’t put in what God has left out.
The functional status of each quality is measured by its harmony or discord score. If the movable quality is dominant and discordant, you’re inclined to lack focus and scatter your energies in different directions.
If the fixed quality is dominant and discordant you’ll find it hard to move with the times and make necessary changes; and if the mutable quality is dominant and discordant you’re inclined to accept new conditions and submit to the pressures of environment.
The analysis of your chart’s sign quality provides valuable self-knowledge pertaining to your capacity to adapt and whether you are inclined to actively instigate change, resolutely resist change or easily adapt to change as it arises.
