Mutable
Mutable signs close each season, when one period is already blending into the next. They are the zodiac's adapters — flexible, responsive and skilled at adjusting plans when the ground shifts.
- In three words
- Adapt, refine, transition
Its Gift
Mutable energy notices when the situation has changed and changes with it. That flexibility saves enormous amounts of wasted effort and keeps things moving through transitions.
Its Trap
Adapting so easily that nothing ever settles. Each pivot seems reasonable on its own; only over months does the restlessness show.
