“They’re the ‘idea people’ of the zodiac,” they note, adding, “These signs prize originality and like to be first in everything they do.” And they often are—as they’re usually the ones to start (and spot) trends before they’re cool. If you’re looking for someone to come up with or initiate a plan or idea, call on the cardinal signs in your life. They’re also the ones you can count on to get a party started and the crowd hyped, the twins say. Here’s a deeper dive into the four cardinal signs. They’re also the ones to “get everyone into action like a team captain or five-star general,” they add. With their planetary ruler, Mars as the planet of desire, action, war, and heat, it’s no wonder Aries are always on the move. Cancer is cardinal water, which makes Cancers themselves more emotional and highly intuitive. Their ruling planet is also the moon, offering them a particularly sensitive side and a desire for comfort. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, relationships, and pleasure, these folks love love and want everything to be beautiful (like everything, all the time). They are cardinal air, so they’re also often sociable, flirtatious, and a bit indecisive. Capricorn is cardinal earth, giving them a somewhat solemn demeanor and tendency to take themselves seriously. They are ruled by Saturn, which is all about responsibility and hard work—again, no surprise there. They may be a bit intense to work with, but you know they’ll always do a good job. “There can be a power struggle among these signs since they are all take-charge and tend to think things should be their way,” the twins explain, adding cardinal signs (or people with cardinal-sign-dominant charts) “tend to be renegades in some ways since they are action-oriented and hate being slowed down by red tape or process.” In the eyes of cardinal signs, the twins note, “they’d rather beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.” “For example,” the twins say, “as housemates, one can be in charge of the garden and the other the kitchen.” Or in business, one can focus on creativity and the other the marketing division. “They will need to meet and check in regularly to make sure they’re aligned.” The twins add that for cardinal signs, it never hurts to have a third-party organizer like a coach, consultant, or therapist to make sure these meetings happen!
