How The Elements Of Astrology Can Help You Understand People Better

Have you ever wondered what is one thing that is unique about you that separates you from everyone else? Have you thought about which of your personality elements make you who you are? 

Whether you are often criticized for being too stubborn or praised for your kindness and generosity, astrology's elements play a huge role in your identity. 

And because everyone is part of the same universe, what you thought was just about you is actually a reflection of the energetic makeup of the cosmos. So if you think you are the only one who is kind enough to do things for others, but stubborn enough not to make amends, the reality is that you are not. 

The elements of astrology are very much alive in each individual in the world. While some may have become prominent in that trait, they share the same influence with all the rest who fall under the same zodiac sign. 

Personalities and characters are built, not just of individual experiences. The celestial activities that have taken part at the exact moment of your birth signify a lot about your life than you may be aware of. 

What Are The Different Elements of Astrology?

Fire, Earth, Air, and Wind—these are the four elements of astrology that significantly affect people and their personalities. Each of the elements comes with a yin (feminine) energy and the yang (masculine) energy, but striking the right balance between the physical and spiritual well-being is essential in individual growth. 

The twelve zodiac signs are further subdivided into the four elements of personality, each displaying their take on these influences. In truth, astrology professionals always emphasize the importance of understanding these four key elements of nature and their relation to every zodiac sign before one can truly understand individual personality. 

Acknowledging the presence of these four elements in a person's birth chart can determine the person's general approach in life. Is it possible for an element to be more powerful than the other?

This and many other questions will be answered when you learn more about how these elements transform into personality symbols. You'd be surprised at how seemingly accurate each reading truly is. 

Elements Of Astrology And What They Mean

If you are wondering what the implications of the elements of astrology are to the zodiac signs, here is some very crucial information as to why each sign acts and thinks the way they do.

Fire: Aries, Sagittarius, and Leo

Fire is a symbol of energy, passion, and creation. This is why people with the Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius signs are passionate. They always go over the top when it comes to being enthusiastic about what they do.

Active, competitive, and highly-passionate, this is what a Fire sign person often exudes. However, on the flip side, a Fire sign person could also be very impatient and quick-tempered. 

If you are under this element, it is best to tap into the deep inner creative muse. The inner child in you will help you feel a bit more confident.

Earth: Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo

The Earth is a sign of solidarity, stability, and abundance. This explains why people under the Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo signs are often practical in decision-making and very persistent in what they want to do.

A person under this sign is often pragmatic, realistic, and very dependable. On their dark side, however, they can be ruthlessly stubborn and inflexible. They hate changing their plans for others. 

Channeling this element could help you find consistency and stability in building a routine. 

Air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius

The Air sign symbolizes intelligence, communication, and versatility. These are attributed to the people under Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, which is why they are very friendly. They don't find it difficult to relate to other people at all. 

Because people with Air signs tend to go a little deeper when they get to know people, they are not afraid to open up to others. They can go in-depth in conversations allowing anyone to challenge their ability to speak their mind. 

In the birth chart, this element is prominent in people who prefer to think things logically rather than emotionally. However, these people can be very indecisive and fickle-minded. 

When you channel this element, you can promote your communication style and achieve mental clarity in its best form. 

Water: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces

Water is the symbol often associated with healing, dreams, and emotions. The sign also represents death and rebirth. It means that people under the sign of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are highly intuitive. The mysterious demeanor of these signs helps them get into a person's thoughts and emotions. 

People who are born under the Water element are known to be naturally alert of their surroundings. They are very sensitive to other people's emotions. 

People with Water signs make good friends and great partners. They are very open to discussing how they feel and what you can do to help them. Their sentimentality makes them perfect partners for each other too. 

However, at the opposite end of the spectrum, these people can be very hypersensitive and moody. When you decide to channel this element, you are bringing yourself closer to the real world. 

What Is Your Takeaway?

Knowing the elements that your zodiac sign falls in helps you a lot in knowing more about yourself. When you understand that your personality is not just based on who you are, but also based on the implications of the stars and other cosmic elements to your birth, you will be able to see the role that you play in the bigger scheme of things. 

Understanding the astrological elements that come into play will help uncover the innate characteristics that make you who you are. This is also the reason why you become more attracted to others based on your element.
