Astrological Terms: Elements
In Astrology, there are four Elements—Earth, Air, Water and Fire—that characterize the basic nature of the twelve Zodiac signs. While each sign possesses qualities that are unique unto itself, signs of the same Element share a common thread in terms of self-expression.
For instance, Fire represents an exuberant, creative and impatient personality. However, all planets in the Birth Chart must be considered to determine which Elements are dominant or lacking to accurately characterize a person’s style of self-expression.
