The Elements of Astrology

Hello visitor! Thank you for taking the time to read this article.


In astrology, each zodiac sign is associated with the elements. There are four classic elements: water, fire, earth and air.

Fire signs are said to be positive or extrovert masculine signs. Fire represents desires and creative energies. Zodiac signs associated with fire are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Earth signs are also positive masculine. Earth represents material resources, possessions and environment. Zodiac signs classified under the Earth element includes Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Air signs are negative, introvert feminine signs. Air stands for the intellect and the ability to reason and communicate. Signs under this element include Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

Water signs like Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are also introvert feminine signs. Water corresponds to imagination, human feelings and the ability to love and sustain.

The group of astrological signs belonging to the same element is called triplicity. Each sign in a triplicity is believed to form angles that are 120 degrees apart called trines. In Western astrology, the elements follow a sequence. It is always Fire, then Earth, then Air and finally Water in that exact order.

The zodiac signs that are in the same elemental triplicity are believed to have a free-flowing connection, making them compatible with one another as they tend to have the same qualities.

Triplicities also have planetary rulers. Fire is ruled in the day by Sun, at night by Jupiter, Saturn is a participating ruler. Air is ruled in the day by Saturn, Mercury at night and Jupiter is a participating ruler. Earth is ruled by Venus in the day, the Moon at night and Mars is a participating ruler. Water is ruled by Mars for both day and night while the Moon is a participating ruler.
