Air

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are considered air birth signs. Since air symbolizes opportunity for growth and the exchange of ideas, people born under these signs are both sociable and creative. They possess active analytical minds and work hard to make sense of the natural relationships between objects, people, and information.

People born under an air birth sign often struggle to manage their emotions. They are natural communicators, but may lack emotional depth. They prefer to avoid discussions that involve unpleasant feelings. Many astrologers also believe that they find it hard to make commitments.

Water

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are considered water birth signs. Since water signifies the concept of intuition, people with water signs are in tune with their emotions and feelings. They are empathetic, protective, compassionate, and nurturing. They possess a strong desire to help others and make the world a better place.

People born under these signs are often accused of being over-sensitive. They sometimes have trouble distinguishing between their own feelings and the moods of those around them. Since many people with water signs value their personal privacy, they may sometimes be accused of being isolated and withdrawn.

Earth

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are Earth signs. Since Earth represents the physical world, these people are well-aware of their senses. They are practical, determined, and disciplined. Many astrologers also believe that they are blessed with above-average physical strength.

People with Earth signs are most often criticized for being unimaginative. Since they are drawn to the comfort of a familiar routine, they may be reluctant to take risks.

Fire

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are fire birth signs. Since fire is symbolic of the “spark of life,” people with fire signs are passionate, assertive, spontaneous, and energetic. They approach life with youthful enthusiasm. They are often blessed with the ability to motivate and inspire others to achieve a common goal.

While they make natural born leaders, they often find it difficult to pay attention to the details of a particular task. They are impulsive, lacking in restraint, and prone to risky behaviors. When pressed to make an important decision, people born under the fire birth sign will often rely on a “lucky guess” over a logical conclusion.
