The Four Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water

As recently as a few thousand years ago, Western scientists considered the whole earth to be made of 4 elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Even though science has taken a different turn, we can still use this ancient wisdom to make sense of the world.

Aquarius

Aquarius is the fixed air sign. Fixed signs are the most persistent and unchanging. Air signs are the most mental and social.

Libra

Libra is the cardinal air sign. Cardinal signs are the most direct. Air signs are the most communicative. Planets in Libra indicate a need for one-on-one communication.

Gemini

Gemini is the mutable air sign. Mutable signs are the most flexible. Air represents mental and social energy. Geminis have an innate curiosity and mental flexibility which allows them to learn new words and absorb new ideas quickly. They also tend to pick up foreign languages easily.
