What is my astrological sign and element?
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:
- Aries 1; Leo 5; Sagittarius 9 hot, dry, and ferocious
- Heavy, chilly, and dry2Taurus; 6Virgo; 10Capricorn
- 3 Gemini; 7 Libra; 11 Aquarius bright, hot, and damp
- Water is for Cancer, 8 for Scorpio, and 12 for Pisces. It is cool, moist, and gentle.
What are the three most important indications in my life?
Your Sun sign, Moon sign, and rising sign, also known as ascending sign, are the three most important places in your birth chart. Your Sun sign is the foundation of your personality and who you are as a person. Your Moon sign indicates your emotional side and who you are when you’re alone. Finally, your rising sign is the initial impression others get of you and how you appear on the outside.
What are the signs of the zodiac that I belong to?
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.

Who is a rising Scorpio?
The Scorpio rising person has powerful, seething emotions that are typically hidden. Others find you intriguing and secretive if this describes you; you appear to purposefully turn on the charm for them. On the birth chart, someone born under this zodiac sign is at the ascendant.
What are Gemini’s major three?
Your Approach to Gemini Rising The Sun, Moon, and Rising signs are also referred to as “The Big Three of Astrology.” This makes sense because these are the most visible and essential aspects of your horoscope.
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 playing 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 different stage of emotional and spiritual development. Gemini is the first sign on the zodiac calendar, and Aquarius is the last, making it the most mature of the three. So, in Gemini, we have a newborn, a nave variant 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 is 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 identity is fleeting, changing all the time. Gemini simply embraces its natural duality a little more forcefully and openly than the other of the zodiac signs.
