Elements
The four elements (Fire, Earth, Air and Water) describe the inherent temperament and orientation of each sign of the zodiac. As the ancient Greeks taught, everything in the universe including the human personality can be examined in terms of these elements. Fire is your basic enthusiastic urge, Earth represents practical, material world concerns, Air is the element of abstract thought, Water represents feelings and the empathetic impulse. Fire and earth are primary and focused on the self. Air and water are derivative and focused on others. Fire and air are naturally extroverted, optimistic, active and freedom-oriented. Earth and water are basically introverted, pessimistic, passive and security-oriented.
The Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The Air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. And the Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
