You can introduce yourself into zodiacal wisdom through a few distinct prisms. The most obvious approach is to view your birth chart through this perspective and gain knowledge of the planets, aspects, and houses based on your own narcissistic explorations. This is a completely legitimate route. I completed it. With myself, my crushes, and my celebrity crushes, I have done it. When I was ten years old, I was trying to figure out how to eventually get along with My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way. One of the pillars of my current astrological knowledge was that romantic desperation.
But if I could start over again, I would start with the fundamentals, the essentials. The four elements of air, water, fire, and earth are used to categorize the 12 zodiac signs in Western astrology. Each has distinct characteristics and connotations, which are taken into account in various ways by the three signs an element rules.
You’ll have a solid comprehension of each sign if you comprehend the ingredients. You’ll have access to the complete zodiac wheel if you do this. After that, picturing the planets in each sign becomes (kind of) simple. It gets even easier when we discuss compatibility, which we will do later. Water snuffs out fire, air floats above the earth, and earth and water get along. It resembles a cosmic version of Rock, Paper, Scissors or Pokmon.
Of fact, it was an air sign who first exposed me to this cunning strategy. Intellectual and communicative, air signals. In particular, this is true of language and knowledge. They are specialists in the ephemeral, the things of our world that lack physical form. Our breath, the most essential and unseen bodily process, is the air element. In the Chinese zodiac, air does not appear as a traditional element but rather as qi, the all-pervasive energy. Because the Air has no tangible material form, even in devotion, it is untouchable and immaterial. On a Wiccan altar, the Air denotes the East and can be symbolized by anything from a feather to incense.
Air signs are particularly susceptible to their own personal projections because air is formless and lacks a solid body. Air signs are susceptible to overindulging in utter fantasy since they are unconstrained by location and can drift everywhere, from places to persons. They prefer theory over practice and are prone to spending a lot of time discussing ideas rather than acting upon them.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the three air signs. For the time being, let’s consider each of them to symbolize a distinct stage of emotional and spiritual development. Of the three, Aquarius is the most developed because it is the last sign on the zodiac calendar, followed by Gemini. As a result, Gemini has a baby, naive variation on air; Libra has a teenager who wants to try everything; and Aquarius has an elderly soul who is irritable.
The twins are GEMINI. I believe that the characteristics we tend to despise most about ourselves are what give zodiac signs their worst reputations, and poor Gemini is constantly the target of this unfair slander. One of my favorite movies, Paprika, features a villainous supporting character who splits into dual heads and has a seam bursting with cerulean butterflies. The heroine exclaims in complete repugnance, “I never knew this side of you! Our double adversary responds, “I have multiple sides, and that’s what makes me human!
Even though it’s absurd to think that Geminis are dishonest liars, we all lie on occasion. This is code-switching in its purest form. It involves “turning on” for work and having a “phone voice in order to avoid discussing your sex life with your Evangelical granddad over dinner. Our identity is transient and always changing. Simply said, Gemini embraces its innate duality more forcefully and without fear than anyone else.

What does it mean to have an air sign?
The four astrological elements of fire, water, earth, and air are used to identify and describe each of the 12 zodiac signs. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the three air signs, and they are the zodiac’s thinkers, communicators, and doers. They synthesize, investigate, and analyze. Never pausing to gather their breath, they whiz through life. They have a “live and let live” attitude, and their intelligence makes decision-making simple for them. These brainless snots take the initiative (unlike say, water signs, who lead with their hearts).
