On the Zodiac Circle, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn stand opposite each other and form a cross. Astrologers call it “Cardinal cross”. It is associated with the quality of decisiveness, ability to find practical solutions to difficult situations, and get off the beaten track.
The Cardinal Cross is named so because of weather change. When the Sun enters Cardinal signs, the weather undergoes a significant transformation, marking the beginning of a new season.
