A Brief Explanation of Zodiac's Elements

Well, I just copy and paste it from somewhere else, thank you for Hassam!

The four elements

Fire - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Earth - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Air - Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Water - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

The three signs in each of the four elements are further categorised as cardinal, fixed and mutable.

Fire

The three fire signs have in common the desire for freedom. Actually the air signs have this characteristic as well, but whereas the air signs tend to go for freedom of expression, thought and movement, the fire signs go for freedom of action and the power to do as they wish.

Aries - The cardinal fire sign is Aries. Here, the basic desire of the fire signs is seen in its most raw form, the desire to initiate, to get things going, and results in frustration when results are not as intended.

Leo - The fixed fire sign is Leo. The common peculiarity of fixed signs is to fix things so that they are preserved. Leo expresses its freedom by taking the results that

Aries has generated and arranging them to that they continue to be effective, while having authority for itself. Thus management is a function often associated with Leo.

Sagittarius - The mutable fire sign is Sagittarius. Here, the freedom of fire is expressed as the desire to expand one's horizons, the means used being religion, philosophy, advanced education and travel.

Earth

The three earth signs have in common the need for security. They have this need in common with the water signs, whose need is for emotional security. The requirement of the earth signs is physical security.

Capricorn - The cardinal earth sign is Capricorn. Capricorn is the one that seeks security within the world or social order.

Taurus - The fixed earth sign is Taurus. Here the security-seeking characteristic of the earth signs is seen at its most basic, the acquisition and preservation of money and tangible assets being felt as fulfilling that need. Taurus also enjoys the senses for their own sakes.

Virgo - The mutable earth sign is Virgo. Here the security need of earth is expressed by organising things so that they operate in the most efficient way possible, so that people always know where to find what they want.

Air

As mentioned above the air sign go more for freedom of expression, thought and movement.

Libra - The cardinal air sign is Libra. Libra is the one that seeks the freedom to live in a balanced harmonious environment.

Aquarius - The fixed air sign is Aquarius. The material fixed by Aquarius might be an ideal or some way of thinking that is seen as freedom giving. Unfortunately, with the fixing process the freedom is sometimes lost.

Gemini - The mutable air sign is Gemini. The moveable nature of air is here seen in its most basic form, with the desire to move from one thought to another, maybe from one book to another without finishing either.

Water

Whereas the earth signs need physical security, the water signs seek emotional security.

Cancer - The cardinal water sign is Cancer. Cancer is the one who acquires a sense of satisfaction through belonging to a family of some kind, whether a traditional human family or a group of people that can be perceived as a kind of family.

Scorpio - The fixed water sign is Scorpio. Here, the sense of security is sought, often obsessively, through a search for the deepest layer of a person or a society to which one is attached in some way.

Pisces - The mutable water sign is Pisces. For Pisces, the forms within which matter or ideas are contained do not offer any ultimate sense of security, a security which is sought more through a sense of the universe as unbounded.

This can lead to a sense of unreality in the tangible world, or, more positively, it can infuse the tangible world with a sense of the mystical.

Well that's all about the 12 signs and their elements, see which one you are in!
