There are 12 astrological signs in Western tropical astrology. Each of the four elements has three Zodiac signs connected with it, which are always exactly 120 degrees apart along the ecliptic and are said to be in trine with one another. The four classical elements (also called as triplicities) are still used extensively by most current astrologers, and they are still considered a crucial part of astrological chart interpretation.
Starting with Aries, which is a Fire sign, the next sign in order is Taurus, which is Earth, followed by Gemini, which is Air, and finally Cancer, which is Water. This cycle repeats twice more before concluding with Pisces, the twelfth and final astrological sign. According to Marcus Manilius, the elemental rulerships for the twelve astrological signs of the zodiac are as follows:

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
Gemini is a changeable air sign, which means it appears at the end of a season (in this case, spring) and is famed for its adaptability. This chatty sign can read people’s minds from a mile away, which makes it easier for them to make judgments. According to Gemini, there is no right or wrong way to think or act.
Due to their dualistic character, Geminis accept fluidity in life and endeavor to comprehend all sides of an issue as the sign of the twins. They’re the ones who spread critical information, the truth, and rumors. Haters accuse them of being two-faced, but being mutable signs, they are simply socially adaptable and know how to move from one social group to the next. They also don’t take themselves too seriously, so think carefully before getting into a dispute with a Gem about anything they saidpossible it’s they didn’t mean it!
Is Gemini a fire sign or an air sign?
There are a few distinct lenses through which you can have access to zodiacal knowledge. The most obvious method is to learn about planets, aspects, and houses based on your own narcissistic discoveries through the lens of your own birth chart. This is a perfectly valid route. I’ve completed the task. It’s something I’ve done to myself, my crushes, and even my celebrity crushes. I was ten years old and anxious to figure out how Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and I could finally make it work. One of the touchstones of my current astrological understanding was that romantic desperation.
But if I could start over, I’d start with the fundamentals: the ingredients. The 12 zodiac signs are split into four elements in Western astrology: air, water, fire, and earth. Each has its own characteristics and associations, which are included in diverse ways by the three signs an element rules.
You’ll have a good knowledge of every sign if you comprehend the ingredients. This will give you access to the full wheel of the zodiac. The planets in each sign become (kind of) easy to imagine from there. Even compatibility, which we’ll discuss later, becomes more straightforward. Earth and water coexist, fire and air coexist, water extinguishes fire, air hovers above the earth… It’s like a game of Pokmon or Rock, Paper, Scissors on a cosmic scale.
Of course, it was an air sign who first introduced me to this ingenious strategy. Air signs are both communicative and intellectual. They are experts in the ephemeral, or things that do not have a physical shape in our world, and this is especially true of language and knowledge. Our breath is the air element, and it is the most important and unseen function of our bodies. The Chinese zodiac does not recognize air as a traditional element; instead, it is transformed into qi, the ultimate power that pervades everything. The Air, which represents the East on a Wiccan altar, can be symbolized by anything from a feather to incense; the Air is untouchable and immaterial because it has no tangible material form, even in devotion.
Air signals are especially subject to their own personal projections because air is formless and lacks a physical body. Air signs are unrestricted by space and can fly everywhere, from places to individuals; as a result, they’re prone to total imagination. They prefer theory to practice and can become engrossed in continually thinking or talking about something rather than implementing it.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the three air signs. For the time being, consider each of them to symbolize a distinct stage of emotional and spiritual development Gemini is the first sign of the zodiac calendar, and Aquarius is the last, making it the most mature. So, in Gemini, we have a newborn, naive variation on air; in Libra, we have a teenager who wants to try everything; and in Aquarius, we have a cantankerous, old soul.
The twins are GEMINI. I believe that the things we dislike the most in ourselves are the qualities that zodiac signs have the worst reputations for, and poor Gemini is a constant victim of that unjust slander. In Paprika, one of my favorite movies, a minor character transforms into a villain, splitting into dual heads and rupturing his seam with cerulean butterflies. “I never knew this side of you!” exclaims the heroine, horrified. “I have many sides,” our doppelganger responds, “and that’s what makes me human!”
All of that bullshit about Geminis being two-faced liars is true, but we all do it to some extent. This is code-switching in its purest form. It’s “turning on” for work, having a “phone voice,” and avoiding the topic of your kinky sex life at the dinner table with your Evangelical grandfather. Our identities are transient and in constant motion; Gemini simply embraces this natural duality a little more forcefully and openly than the rest of us.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)
This rowdy ram is a cardinal sign, which means they are in authority. If you’ve ever known an Aries, you know how powerful their words can beand then how quickly they can leave you in the dust. They prefer to use their brashness to push their opinions and then move on quickly. Because Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, they are also leadersthe spark of the fire. That makes them the zodiac’s kids, so don’t be surprised if they act a little childlike or impetuous at times.
Your Superpower: Persuasion
The power to use mental, physical, or magical means to control, manipulate, or command others.
Gemini, at best, you’re a Superhero who uses persuasion to prevent violence. This method of persuasion can easily persuade even the most ruthless opponents to submit. Although your abilities are incredible, there is one flaw that you should be aware of: your mind. Because persuasion is so tightly tied to your cognitive processes, it’s critical to keep track of your objectives on a regular basis. Allowing your thoughts to race increases the risk of ego-driven subconscious manipulation. You will only attract genuine followers if you learn to focus your thoughts, cultivate awareness, and appreciate the power you possess.
What color should a Gemini wear?
Yellow is the Gemini Power Color. Yellow, like Gemini, is brilliant (literally the brightest color in the visible spectrum), happy, and lively. It is the ideal suit for a Gemini personality since it stimulates innovative thought and happiness. More yellow elements can be added to spaces where you wish to be inspired, such as your home office, or places of welcome, such as the entryway or even the front door.
