The twelve houses of the Zodiac have numerous classifications, including elements, masculine/feminine, and modalities. This section explains the Zodiac modalities for the houses. There are three modalities that apply to the houses: Angular, Succedent, and Cadent. These modalities correspond to the three qualities of the signs, and they have a significant effect on a person’s general outlook and attitude and indicate how they function in their daily life.
The modalities represent how a person with certain signs ruling certain houses will operate in the areas of life ruled by each house. Most people do not have the natural sign ruler aligned with its mode; in other words, Aries, on average, only rules the first house of an individual’s chart 1/12th of the time. Each mode has its defining features, strengths, and weaknesses that are influenced by the Zodiac sign which rules the chart based on the time of the person’s birth.
Below is a table of the modes of the houses and qualities of the signs that “naturally” rule them.

Angular Energy
The 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses are Angular. The houses with this energy represent the areas of our lives where we must lead or take the initiative. The 1st House represents our quest for identity. The 4th House is the “home” of our family. The 7th House represents the partnerships we need in life to help us succeed in the world. And the 10th House tells us how we can best prosper in life according to the sign that rules it.
If a Cardinal sign rules an Angular house, then that means that Fixed signs rule the Succedent houses, and Mutable signs rule Cadent houses. This individual will have a natural flow of energy that he or she can use to lead and impact the world in aggressive and dynamic ways. On the downside, these people can be reckless and arrogant.
If a Fixed sign rules an Angular house, then Mutable signs rule the Succedent houses, and Cardinal signs rule the Cadent houses. These individuals will be more cautious, conservative, and prudent. On the downside, they can be stubborn and reactionary. If a Mutable sign rules the Angular houses, then-Cardinal signs rule the Succedent houses, and Fixed signs rule the Cadent Houses. These individuals will be flexible, adaptable, and service-oriented. Negatively, these people can be easily swayed and may shun responsibility.
