Mutables, Flexibility, Endings and New Beginnings
If I recall correctly: I have Venus in a Cardinal Sign, my Rising Sign is a Cardinal Sign and I have Neptune in a Fixed sign. And everything else is Mutable.
I'm fifty nine years old and studied astrology in earnest at age fourteen and it was important to me for something like the next fifteen years as a better Rorschach Test than most psychology tools and I'm in recent weeks having an epiphany.
Mutable signs have a reputation for being a bit flaky and not wanting to commit to things.
I have Venus in Cancer. Cancer is associated with patriots willing to die for their country. I am not a commitment phobe by any stretch of the imagination.
Mutable signs are the end of the season and the way you deal well with endings is by keeping open the options you hope will play out.
If you are not sure what your goals are, haven't figured out which factors promote those goals or undermine them, etc. it can look flaky to other people that you are reluctant to make decisions that can close off options.
If you don't know what you are doing, it can, in fact, be flaky to not want to make a decision when real life dictates that choosing to not decide and letting outside factors decide for you IS a decision.
Some best practices:
1. Choose a date or milestone in the future that will mark WHEN you decide.
2. In the meantime, do your research and think heavily about your goals and which factors are going to destroy possibilities you hope to breath life into and which factors will keep possibilities alive.
This is especially important if you are trying to do something HARD where odds are long against it happening at all.
What I didn't say in the post linked above is I end shit. I'm fairly thorough about the process. And the reason I do so is because I also have Aries Rising and I need some things to actually fucking DIE so other things can be born.
Most people don't ever really put down their baggage from the past and it continues to be a dark shadow marring the rest of their lives.
If something is poisoning your life, killing it with fire may be the most critical step necessary to start opening up the possibilities you would like to see have hope of being born.
Ending things well and beginning things well are related.
When one door closes, another opens. Sometimes, refusing to close the door amounts to blocking the new door from ever opening.
