The physical world is made up of four different elements. These elements interact with each other and are dependent on each other. These elements are Earth, Air, Wind and Fire. These are also viewed as temperaments in people.
These temperaments represent the different characteristics along with the strengths and weaknesses of the various signs of the zodiac.
The signs that align with Fire
Leo, Aries, Sagittarius
Fire is destructive as well as life giving. These signs are as powerful and energetic as their element. These signs also indicate impulsivity and great passion. They are persistent and goal oriented. They need to take care to avoid burning out.
The signs associated with Earth
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
These signs are grounded and the most stable of all of the elements. It is no surprise that these are connected with Earth. Those who are born under these signs make excellent friends and they are loyal. The down side to this is that they may be hard to shift from their comfortable environment.
Air Element Signs
Libra, Gemini and Aquarius
Movement and change are directly connected to these signs. Thus, people born under these signs are very persuasive. They also love to shake things up. They are lots of fun to take on and adventure.
Signs connected with water
Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio
Just like the fire signs, the water signs can be both hurt and help. They are very imaginative and extremely passionate. They crave security to help contain them.
