You may have come across the terms “earth sign” or “air sign” while reading your horoscopes. In astrology, there are four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. Three signs are ruled by the same element since each of the 12 signs belongs to one of the four elements. Knowing which element governs your sign can help you have a better understanding of yourself. It can also show you who you get along with the best. Because Scorpio and Pisces are both water signs, despite their differences, they make ideal romantic partners and friends because they can handle each other’s sensitive temperament.

The Elements
The zodiac signs are classified in a variety of ways in astrology. Fire, Earth, Air, and Water are the four elements in Western Astrology, and they are divided into three groups of three signs each (four times three equals twelve signs). The elements, commonly referred to as the Triplicities, indicate personality traits. The Qualities reflect different ways of doing things or expressing yourself.
In astrology, what are the five elements?
The Chinese zodiac has five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. These are based on the Five Elements Theory, or Wu Xinga philosophy, which is used to define the interdependence and relationship between all things. The focus of this lesson is on finding balance and accepting the process. As one energy grows stronger, another weakens. There is no hierarchy and all elements are interrelated. This philosophy underpins not only the Chinese zodiac system, but also feng shui, holistic medicine, acupuncture, divination (such as the I Ching), and martial arts.
What are the twelve different forms of astrology?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs in order. Each zodiac sign has a symbol that dates back to Middle Ages Greek manuscripts. Let’s look at the zodiac symbols, constellations, and qualities in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are recognized for their warm personalities and great self-esteem, although they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.

What do the four elements represent?
Within our surroundings, we are surrounded by the four classical elements (air, earth, fire, and water). The wind in our skies, terra firma, warmth from the sun’s rays, and a wide array of freshwater resources all represent them (seas, rivers, lakes, creeks, and ponds).
What is nature’s fifth element?
The stuff that fills the region of the cosmos beyond the terrestrial sphere, also known as the fifth element or quintessence (other spellings include ther, aither, and ether), is also known as the fifth element or quintessence. The concept of aether has been used to explain a variety of natural phenomena, including light travel and gravity. In the late nineteenth century, physicists proposed that aether pervaded all of space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum. However, the MichelsonMorley experiment found no evidence for the presence of such a medium, and this result has been interpreted as implying that no such luminiferous aether exists.

What is it about water that attracts fire signs?
She argues that water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are traditionally associated with earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) because water nurtures the earth. Because air feeds fire, air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) and fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) go together. “Signs in the same element (earth, water, air, or fire) also make the most harmonic angles to each other, known as ‘trines,’ which are 120 degrees apart,” she continues.
