![]() They also tend to seek out material comforts and success and place a high premium on dependability and stability. People with this element in their chart are often resistant to change, appreciating routines and rituals instead. What Earth signs value: Grounded, solid, and practical, Earth energy relates to the world on a deep and sensual level, says Gailing. They may be the ones to arrange meetings and focus groups to facilitate discussions and idea exchanges, says Gailing. How air signs present at work: Generally air signs are great communicators, so they tend to like collaborative work environments where they can bounce ideas off their colleagues. “They want to be intellectually challenged in a relationship where they can learn from or with them,” says Gailing. They also are quite intellectual, so a partner or friend with whom they can discuss and engage in conversation is something they'd like. What air signs are like in love and friendship: Air signs are very relationship-oriented, says Gailing, so they care about their social circles and networks (even if they’re only a few people)-a partnership that allows them to remain part of these groups is key because they’re social and like to meet people. Win them over water, being really caring. How to win an air sign over: win them over by being curious, asking them questions, wanting to get to know them and their thoughts and their ideas. Which planets are associated with air signs? Gemini is ruled by Mercury, Libra is ruled by Venus, and Aquarius is ruled by Saturn. They value intellectual curiosity and social connection. And they’re generally sociable creatures who draw energy from communicating and forming alliances with others, says Gailing. People who fall in this camp are often witty and thoughtful, while also prone to over-thinking. What air signs value: Linked to the agile and changeable nature of thoughts and observation, air signs are typically cerebral and intellect-driven. “For example, if several of the planets and pivotal points- like the ascendant-in your chart are in fire signs, you’re likely very spirited, catalyzed by intuition, and move fast or prefer to be in motion.” That said, if you have many planets in one element, you may be more likely to express that temperament and way of being to its fullest extent, says Gailing. "Someone could have several planets in both air and water signs, for example, and in that case, could reflect a blend of both temperaments."-Stephanie Gailing, astrologer and author The traits associated with the elements color all sorts of aspects of your personality, such as with whom you might be most compatible, and their location within your chart based on the signs and planets in different realms affect your horoscopes in various ways, for example what each new astrological season brings or how lucky you are. "For example, someone could have several planets in both air and water signs, for example, and in that case, could reflect a blend of both temperaments," she says. As Gailing points out, many components of your overall natal chart-and the various elements they reflect-can play into your style or nature. ![]() ![]() Just as your astrological sun sign doesn’t determine your entire personality, the particular element of that sign doesn’t have full sway over your temperament, either (and, not to mention, your zodiac sign compatibility). How modern astrologers interpret zodiac sign's elements So, if we can then extrapolate one step further from those terms to modern astrological interpretations, the classic tendencies of the different elements begin to surface: Fire is often connected to extroversion, independence, and radiance air is linked to communication and social energy Earth is reflected in responsibility and practicality and water is associated with emotional and ever-changing energy, says Gailing. ![]() “This then translated to the four temperaments: fire is choleric, air is sanguine, Earth is melancholic, and water is phlegmatic.” “Fire is dry and hot, air is wet and hot, Earth is dry and cold, and water is wet and cold,” Gailing says. While people all over the world have used elements to classify behavioral tendencies for thousands of years-consider the system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which includes water, fire, Earth, metal, and wood-several Greek philosophers are credited with pioneering the four-element system used in astrology including Empedocles and Plato, says astrologer Stephanie Gailing, author of The Complete Guide to Astrological Self-Care.Īround that period of time, a few centuries BCE, the elements also made an appearance in Hippocratic medicine (a system pioneered by the Greek physician Hippocrates), for being reflective of a person’s general constitution.
