Read on to see what it says about you.
The Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Like fire itself, these elements shows traits of passion and strong emotion. Temperamental and quick to anger, fire signs can be known to lash out and ‘burn’ you, either physically or emotionally. However, with this explosive energy to them, fire elements can achieve a lot of things in short amount of time.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Aries Fire element are the ones responsible for being the most pure and interesting people. Often found plotting or engaging in some sort of adventure, these enthusiastic signs have a spark in their soul that ignites with enough happiness and love to fill rooms. Just don’t get on their bad side, because an Aries fire sign will attack if provoked – whole-heartedly.
Leo (July 23 -August 21)
The Leo is the most balanced of these three striving to attain the middle ground in every situation or confrontation. Leo firers love to be in the spotlight and be the center of attention, often performing at their best when found in these situations. Not one to shy away, this fiery persona radiates with dependability and quiet leadership. You’ll always know when a Leo fire element enters the room.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 22)
Of the three, Sagittarius is the most gentle and nurturing. The Sagittarius fire element holds true to fire’s ability to produce new life. These firers are often acting in symbolic ways, leaning towards a philosophical inclination. Often interested in some form of mysticism, their life force is devoted to searching the answers to life and pondering philosophical ideals. This leads to a myriad of creative exploits and ideals.
The Water Signs: Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio
The water signs all show signs directly related to water itself. They can either be a refreshing source of sustenance, the kind that keeps you alive, or it can drown you in its heavy, murky depths. These elements tend to be very mysterious characters, valuing their privacy, but are also seen to have a psychic like appeal. Usually over sensitive and emotional, water elements use this to their advantage in regards to their intuition, but can be dragged back by it at the same time. Like water held in a container, water signs value security above all, hence their attraction to privacy.
Pisces (February 20- March 20)
Small creeks or rivers that flow through the land don’t just go in one direction. You can see for yourself that many break offs appear and the creeks can split off into other areas. So it is the same with Pisces water elements and it is quite indicative of their zodiac sign too (Pisces = Fish). Pisces are adaptable and are known to be quite flexible in many regards. Great leaders who inspire others and use their charm to succeed, some Pisces have also been know to be highly mystical and have this entrancing effect on others.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Another sign that thrives of nurturing and caring for others, Cancer water elements are always worried about the wellbeing of others and will try to help in any way that they can. Just try to remember not being on their wrong side as when they get angry or feel threatened, the river banks can be flooded within seconds. Don’t cross a Cancer water sign, especially if it’s to do with family or close friends. You many end up regretting it.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
As intense and dangerous as a raging river, Scorpios can destroy and run through anything in their path, with little notion for self-control. Most Scorpio elements need to learn the power of self-restraint, and must be constantly leashed in. Even with all that however, pointing a Scorpio in the desired direction and properly establishing their motives will drive their ferocious energy to create successful endeavors. If you are friends with a Scorpio water sign, then stay close to them because they will use this hurricane to protect you no matter the cost.
The Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
True to their signs, earth elements are ‘grounded’ people (at least more so than their counterparts). They have been shown to bring others back down to earth and ensure a strong foundation is implemented in everything they do. They also strive to teach others their way. Being dependable and reliable friends (not to mention loyal), Earth elements are practical beings who love to use their hands. The only problem is that most Earth elements have the tendency to focus on superficial notions a little too strongly and become materialistic. In spite of this, there are no greater friends than an earther and will stick by your side (most of the time).
Taurus (April 21 – May 21)
Taurus earth elements are THE strongest sign in all of the zodiac. These earthers are always assisting others to establish a foothold in their lives and take control in building themselves. Taurus earthers benefit from this because they improve themselves at the same time. Caring, smart, and reliable to no fault, Tauruses are great friends but can be stubborn in their ways. Good luck changing a Taurus earther’s mind – it just doesn’t happen. They have been classified as “Earthly Sensual” and will cling to those they hold dear, if it matters to them.
Virgo (August 22 – September 23)
Representing middle earth (and no, not the one from Lord of the Rings), Virgo earthers are usually found caught in the middle of doing a multitude of things, unable to decide on a single project/idea. This however has made them very flexible, helpful, observing, and grounded in some way. Virgo is the element situated between Capricorn and Taurus, not quite upper level and not quite lower level, rather – just right. Virgo earthers have pinpoint analytical precision, which may be the reason why.
Capricorn (December 23 – January 20)
A mysterious sign to say the least, Capricorn earth signs are relatively ‘deep’ people (no pun intended, okay maybe a little). Capricorns envision that of the deep, lower regions of the earth, where purity is abundant. Capricorn earthers have also been known to love practical engagements and hobbies, and can find comfort in materialistic possessions and high status. Capricorn earthers tend to be conservative in nature, and focus a little too strongly on career success, negating most other aspects to life. With this drive however, comes a fantastic working ability and the need to succeed in their work.
The Air Signs: Aquarius, Gemini, Libra
Ever heard someone mention the winds of change? Yeah us too, but little did we realize how much it applies to air zodiac signs. Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra are all part of this group and strike hard when they attempt to move you in any way. They strive on constant creativity, movement, ideas, and actions. With all of these characteristics, you can find that Air elements can be perceived as a bit of an airhead, but don’t get on their bad side as they can be quite powerful when moved to purpose. Adventurous and just plain fun to be around, Air elements are some of the more exciting friends to have with you.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 19)
At the top level, soaring above all other signs (including the air ones), Aquarius can be found to live life at full speed, securing others in their whirlwind of clarity, cooperation, and understanding. Aquarius air elements love to unite people together, and look for harmony in everything that is. Aquarius stands for creativity, originality, and positive change but while they have these positive traits, a few negatives include the fact that they can be unpredictable, or bounce around erratically. Analytical and critical thinkers, Aquarius airers are seemingly constantly focused on humanity’s survival and its future, sticking to anything that progresses life forward.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21)
Gemini airers are a tornado force to be reckoned with and is the kind to fly the most compared to their counterparts. These elements are shown to have a dual nature, comprising of indecisiveness and a constant need for fulfillment. Not ones for doing things slowly, this can be a great advantage or detriment to whatever they wish to pursue. They are inquisitive and curious minds who strive to learn all they can about people, and the world.
Libra (September 24 – October 23)
Caring and nurturing, Libra air signs are the oxygen/air that keeps us alive, circulating around us and calming the surroundings. These airers tend to bring a sense of peace and balance to all situations and friendships, and are commonly looked to for essential advice and conversations. Relationships come first and are at a top priority for Libras so don’t discount their importance to you!

You may have noticed that a lot of the zodiac signs and their corresponding element signs can be quite similar in many ways and find that the majority tend to be well-balanced. This is so human beings can cooperate together and achieve great things, without giving too much power or control to a certain group. As each element is codependent on the others, so too it is with us.
