One of my oldest and best friends (an Aquarius, of course) issued the following announcement to all of their closest friends at the start of the year (paraphrased for length and privacy):
This year’s theme is ONLY EARTH SIGNS. Sorry, fire, air, and water signs, but I’m done. You’re fucked. I’m done with your nonsense. I’m busy TRANSCENDING realms and dimensions that you can’t possibly imagine. I require GROUNDING.
On the one hand, receiving this letter, especially in an unrelenting block of big neon text and shouting caps, was a genuinely disturbing experience. There are four elements that make up the 12 zodiac signs. water, fire, air, and earth are the four elements that make up the universe. Almost everyone in my friend’s family, including myself, isn’t an earth sign. Under the pretext of astrology, they were stating that they were removing practically everyone who cared about them.
On the other hand… I think I’ve figured it out. And I understand. We’ve talked about how air signs breathe ideas and information, how fire signals burn with force and passion, and how water signs swim in emotions and memory. All of these features, however, are personal sensations, actions of perception that are completely intangible. Earth is a genuine, physical entity. In the material world, the things that comes out of the earth-precious stones, harvests, clay-has genuine value. We can reach out and touch it, build with it, and share it. Beyond our particular psyches, Earth exists as something we can physically hold and be held inside. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the three earth signs, and they tend to be stable, grounded, and realistic.
Aristotle believed that earth was the heaviest of the four elements before there was a notion of gravity. The element of earth has traditionally been associated with matter, the biology of human existence, fertility, and the terrestrial. In tarot, earth is represented by the suit of pentacles (or coins, depending on which deck you’re using), which is the suit of money and materialism. The soil element is known as t in Chinese philosophy, and it represents stability, yin and yang balance, and seasonal change.
My friend finally texted me again a few weeks ago, this time with a different number, in a group text. I sincerely hope they discovered the earth for which they yearned for structure, connection to their physical bodies, and interaction with the world around them. These are the traits we need to withstand the pressures of the three other internal, ephemeral aspects, the anchor that binds us to humans and humanistic wants.

What are the four signs of the earth?
- Warning signals for fires (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
- Signs of the Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
- Signs in the air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
- Watermarks (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Who is the Earth sign’s supremo?
Don’t you think of a tough and authoritative leader when you think about Capricorn? Because they are the rulers of astrology, they emit cardinal energy. Winter has arrived when the sun enters Capricorn, and Capricorn is in charge with the same serious and calculated power that is required to survive the toughest season of all. Capricorn, as an earth sign, leads with logic, reason, and long-term goals in mind. This zodiac sign is quick to devise a strategy and delegate responsibility within their society. It’s up to them to devise a winning strategy.
Is it possible to combine fire and earth?
Love may be the most perplexing, yet beautiful, emotion we have as humans. However, astrology memes and Instagram horoscopes announcing which signs are the most suitable appear to be conveying us the notion that our love lives are set by the stars, according to our social media feeds.
The most often asked inquiries I hear from clients as an astrologer are about their relationships. “Will I be successful?” is not a question many people ask. or “What’s in store for me in the future?” “Are we astrologically compatible?” instead. However, assisting someone in finding an answer necessitates much more than simply examining both parties’ Sun signs. It also necessitates a thorough examination of each person’s astrological chart, which is comprised of three elements.
Then there’s your Sun Sign, which most people refer to as their primary zodiac sign. This is the part of your horoscope that represents your ego. Then there’s your Moon Sign, which influences how you feel. Finally, you have a rising sign, which is the public face you present. (I recommend checking out if you want to figure out all three of your own signals.) Cafe Astrology’s website is css-1tm5c7k.css-1tm5c7k:hover.)
The sun signs of the zodiac that are the most compatible are:
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are Fire signs, and they get along best with other Fire and Air signs like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) frequently get along best with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, who are Earth and Water signs.
Signs in the air
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius go well with Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, which are all Air and Fire signs.
Watermarks
Water and Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are often suitable matches for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
Even with all of this knowledge, the issue remains: Can we really trust the zodiac to tell us which signs are compatible? On the one hand, it appears doubtful that the stars are in control of us. On the other hand, the zodiac appears to be a useful tool when you remember that, before dating apps had algorithms, matchmakers all over the world used astrology to decide whether two people would make great companions. Perhaps the most common misunderstanding is that simply knowing two people’s sun signs allows us to predict who and what they should adore. Instead, the reality is that, while astrology can serve as a guide, we ultimately have complete control over who we love.
Is Pisces a water sign or an earth sign?
Three zodiac signs make up each astrological element: fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius; earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn; air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius; and water signs Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
A Virgo belongs to which earth sign?
This is a sign that can have it all and enjoys having it, but despises losing it, much like a youngster with a favorite toy. Refusing to share has a bratty selfishness to it, but it also has a love and tenderness to it, as well as a total loyalty to their goods.
Venus rules Taurus, just as she does Libra. Libra, on the other hand, is concerned with Venusian attributes such as poetry, philosophy, and romantic love. Taurus enjoys the finer things in life, such as tangible possessions, luxuries, cuisines, beverages, furniture, exquisite fabrics, and priceless jewels, which would be offered to Venus at an ancient Roman shrine. Taurus is a nester, and he enjoys gathering all of his belongings into one ideally snug area. And this Venusian sign enjoys creating a meal for a loved one, spooning them in bed, or fucking them with savage ferocity. Taurus placements must again be wary of their own immaturity and avarice. Their possessiveness can extend beyond their worldly belongings to their lovers, and although this can be comfortable and consistent, it can also suffocate. Taurus has to build the skill to give things away since they have a scarcity mentality.
Sid Vicious, Cher, Karl Marx, Carmen Electra, Harper Lee, Shirley Temple, and George Clooney are all Taurus suns. They all have a distinctly compassionate beauty that can only be achieved with tenacity and a love for the physical environment.
The earth sign VIRGO is a changeable one. Given their anal-retentive reputation, this may come as a surprise. Other mutable signs are a little more… erratic. Type-A control freaks aren’t common in Gemini, Pisces, or Sagittarius. Virgos, on the other hand, are continually adjusting, always conscious of the balance between their own material wants and those of others, always holding space. This is both what makes them so appealing and what makes them so irritating. Virgos are always keeping score, and everyone else would prefer they kept their ideas to themselves at times.
“The Virgin, replete with long locks and a sheaf of wheat,” says the Virgo constellation. Let’s not picture this virgin as an adolescent who has a promise ring on her finger. Imagine Diana running through the woods with her bow and arrow, refusing to stop for any man, including a god. Virgo is passionately self-reliant and certain that they can do it all, and do it better, on their own. Of course, this isn’t always the case, but Virgo will adapt until they’ve gotten it just right.
Because Virgo is controlled by Mercury, their stock and trade is in communication and information. Let us recall these archetypes’ Greco-Roman origins once more. Mercury, the god, was the messenger of the gods, the sole power capable of traveling wherever without restraints, with speed and grace, from the highest peaks of Olympus to the lowest depths of the underworld. Virgo is the physical messenger, speeding from place to place, accumulating, arranging, and disseminating information. Gemini, the other sign controlled by Mercury, is connected with airborne and intangible information such as gossip and witty discussion. Whether you like it or not, they believe information transmission to be their responsibility and task.
Mother Teresa, Ingrid Berman, Caligula, Freddie Mercury, Amy Winehouse, Jesse Owens, and Mary Shelly are all famous Virgo suns. Their fame stems from their messages, which include songs, mottoes, and impacts that benefit others more than they benefit themselves.
A cardinal sign is CAPRICORN, the eldest and wisest of the earth elementals. That means that everything they do, like Libra, Aries, and Cancer, has a sense of immediacy and urgency to it. They’re ambitious, ready to get it done, and they want to get started right away. Capricorn, like the other cardinal signs, has an aversion to any elemental force that isn’t their own, as if anything that isn’t earth doesn’t exist. This means that in the Capricorn universe, there is no room for the distractions of airy solipsism, watery sensations, or flaming craziness. There is only this world: only the things we can touch and see, only material and terrestrial achievements, only the things we can do before we die. Capricorn may become chilly, aloof, and out of touch with their own internal landscape as a result of this; they readily compartmentalize those other elements of themselves in order to deal with worldly problems.
Saturn, the planet of order and discipline, and the astrological incarnation of Father Time, the most memento-mori planet, rules Capricorn. Capricorn is more focused with their own personal abilities: things that they can actually manifest, not simply fantasize, unlike Aquarius, the second Saturn-ruled sign, which prefers to apply Saturnian discipline to the collective, dreaming of better futures. If you don’t do it now, it won’t matter afterwards. Get it done before it’s too late, because there are no guarantees about second chances or new lives. Capricorns can hustle like no other sign in the zodiac, but their objectives and commitment to the grind can cause them to overlook personal milestones and interpersonal bonds, much like an emotionally distant, workaholic father. Saturn’s dominion might be a source of maturity, but it can also be a film that suffocates them in loneliness.
There was a reason why my Aquarian acquaintance was so eager for Capricorn’s genuine, earth-bound energies. Capricorn is resolved to stay focused and present, entirely committed to being alive, while the rest of us might easily get lost in the unrealour dreams, paranoias, and expectations.
Joan of Arc, Greta Thunberg, Martin Luther King, Nicolas Cage, David Bowie, Charo, Betty White, and Marlene Dietrich are all Capricorn suns. They all have an almost superhuman internal drive and attentiveness, and they’re all on a never-ending quest for global impact.
Who reigns supreme among the zodiac signs?
Leos are natural-born leaders with a strong feeling of responsibility and a sense of duty. They are the ruler of the jungle and deservingly the monarch of all zodiac signs. Because it is in their nature to lead, Leos frequently take the initiative.
To be honest, Leos are exceptional leaders since they have a powerful influence on others and a strong character presence of character.
Leos have a strong desire to succeed and a clear picture of what they want to achieve. Some people think of Leos as domineering, which can be true in some cases. But, as previously stated, lions are born leaders, thus you won’t be able to tame one.
Furthermore, Leos, who are natural born leaders, are extremely loyal. Leos will go to the moon and back for you, whether you have them as a friend, brother, or partner. They can be exceedingly inventive and foresighted in their thinking, as well as ambitious.
Is it true that earth signs are the best?
Look no further than the Earth signs if you’re seeking for a mature companion who has their life in order and is perfect for a long-term partnership. An Earth sign spouse is naturally more grounded, steady, and dependable than any other sign in the zodiac since earth is the most substantial element. However, dating an Earth sign like Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn has its own set of difficulties. Knowing how the element of Earth influences each sign, according to astrologers, will help you better understand your Earth sign spouse.
Every zodiac sign in Western Astrology is assigned to one of four elements: Earth, Water, Fire, or Air. “Each element has its own characteristic inclinations,” says astrologer Cindy Mckean. Fire, for example, is associated with fearlessness, creativity, and an abundance of energy. Air is a fast, active, talkative, and intellectual element. Those who are ruled by the Water element have sensitivity, inventiveness, and emotional depth. Finally, the Earth element adds realism, stability, and endurance to its signs.
“Besides being pragmatic, stoic, and sturdy, frequent attributes you’d find among Earth signs include being economical, efficient, and reliable,” McKean says. “If you value predictability, stability, and longevity, an Earth sign could be the perfect spouse for you.”
Clearly, there are numerous reasons to admire the earthy triad of the zodiac. But, as we all know, every sign has both positive and negative sides. Here are the most difficult aspects about dating an Earth sign, according to Mckean and astrologer Amy Tripp, whether you’re matched with a Taurus, Capricorn, or want to learn more about Virgo compatibility.
Which signs of the zodiac are natural leaders?
Leadership is a form of power. Of course, not everyone in the world possesses this influential quality, but it’s never too late to attempt. It takes a lot of bravery to be a leader, especially when you’re passionate about something unusual or frowned upon by society. Aries, Leo, Capricorn, and Aquarius are all natural born leaders, thanks to their willingness to be brave and unashamedly themselves.
Everyone, whether they like it or not, has to put their foot down now and then. It’s called survival, and even if you don’t think you’re brave or warrior-like, I guarantee you have a raging wildfire burning within you. Do you want to know where and how your inner leader manifests? Check your birth chart to see where Aries or Mars are situated. Not to take anything away from trend-setter Aries, but Mars, your cosmic ruler, is in charge of your assertiveness, fighting spirit, and fiery impulses. Your degrees of endurance and overall confidence are determined by where this energy is located in your chart.
