One With The Earth: What Your Element Says About You
The realm of astrology is a diverse body of divine knowledge that takes a lot of effort to know about. However, the common subject of interest amongst that masses is that of the astrology sun signs.
Learning about the ins and outs of the zodiac signs can be overwhelming at first, especially considering that the twelve signs each hold different personalities and attributes.
However, you can refer to how they are divided into different categories to make the learning easier for you.
First, you need to know that the signs are divided into two polarities (masculine and feminine).
Then they are further spliced into three astrological modalities (cardinal, fixed, and mutable).
Lastly, the most important yet easy to identify categorization of a zodiac sign is how they are divided into four elements.
In a world where everyone resides in the same universe, your energetic composition is a reflection of what the cosmos have made for you.
Thus, identifying your element is how astrology answers you when you ask the world 'what makes you unique.'
In a way, these elements represent the circle of life, and these are the essentials that people need to know about to balance the energies within that circle.
There are four main elements - fire, earth, water, and air - and an equal division of three zodiac signs falls into each category.
In discovering your elements, you are given a sneak peek into the key traits of each cluster, which can be helpful if you're curious about what your sign's element means to you or what a significant person's element means to your relationship with them.
Fire (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius)
Much like their element, the fire signs are always associated with intense and driven emotions.
They best exude a burning drive and competitive energy.
In a way, these signs are very bold and fearless, so they are the people that will do what everybody else refuses to do.
Also, because they are driven, their passion for starting new things and projects dominates their work ethic. Hence people like to make them the leader of doing stuff.
On the other hand, the downsides to a steamy and passionate fire sign are that much like how fire strongly puts everything around it into aflame.
Once it doesn't find anyone or anything to put that energy into, it will likely burn out. In addition, fire signs are known to be very quick-tempered, and they like involving themselves with a handful of hookups and relationships that don't last long.
So though they can be fun at parties, don't expect to have a LONG good time with them.
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn)
As much as the earth is steady and grounded, earth signs also derive from this sense of stability of their element.
They are stable, which leads them to be the most practical, sensible, and rational when faced with information that needs to be digested.
Since they are very sure of themselves, they can be very stubborn, but in a good way because that shows that they can stick to the plan because of their reliability, dependability, and loyalty.
The only con to earth signs is that they are very immovable. Sometimes they tend to disregard other people's emotions and thoughts on a particular topic because they always feel that they are right.
But, if you can look past that, they are perfect romantic partners because of their loyalty and ride-or-die attitude.
Thus, earth signs are the type of people that will help you through it all.
Air (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius)
The air signs are big thinkers and big talkers.
As an element, the air represents the breath of life, and thus it symbolizes communication.
These signs like to rely on mindfulness and intellect rather than emotion when making their choices in life.
Also, because they have a thirst for intelligence, they are the ones you can go to when you want to have a deep conversation about anything.
They are also very upright and just, so they are very involved with social justice movements.
The downside to an air sign is that they overthink.
Sometimes, they will have an overload of information in their brains which leads them to become indecisive.
However, pushing that aside, earth signs are great because of their confidence and rationality.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Cue the tears because water signs are the most emotional people out of the bunch.
The element 'water' symbolizes motion, dreams, healing, intuition, and the universal realm.
In ancient astrology, water also represents rebirth and death. The people in this cluster are many free-thinkers who are always in touch with their emotional side.
They rely on intuition (because underwater, you cannot hear people), and they use their feelings to decide on situations.
The only downside to a water sign is that they almost always let their emotions get the best of them.
Usually, their emotions could influence their judgment which leads them to make stupid decisions.
However, water signs are perfect company because they are willing to listen to your deepest and darkest thoughts without judgment.
