While reading your horoscope, you may have noticed the words “earth sign” or “air sign”. There is in fact four elements in astrology :
- fire
- Earth
- the air
- the water
Each of the 12 signs astrological belongs to one of these four elements. Knowing which element rules your sign can help you understand your nature. It can also give you an idea of who you get along with best. For example, despite their differences, both Scorpio and Pisces are water signs. They therefore make excellent romantic partners and friends as they can handle each other’s emotional nature.
The four elements also appear in tools other than astrology, such as tarot cards. As you get to know the elements, remember that you are so much more than your sun sign! You have a horoscope which contains the 12 signs with different levels of influence. Thus, one element, such as fire, may be more dominant than another in your chart.
