To do this, you need to know the characteristics of the signs well.
Each zodiac sign is influenced by one of the four essential elements of life. They are: Fire, Earth, Water and Air. The signs that share the same element tend to have characteristics in common, however, each one has its own striking characteristics that define its individual sun sign.
Therefore, if you are interested in the subject or want to have a basis so as not to be left out of the subject when it arises, find out what the main characteristics of the signs in this matter are.
Zodiac elements
However, before moving on to the characteristics of the signs, we need to know the governing elements of the entire zodiac. The 12 signs of the zodiac are divided between the four essential elements: Water, Earth, Air and Fire.
Water: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
The water element represents what is mysterious and changeable, this is due to the transitory quality of water currents. Therefore, natives of these signs tend to share some characteristics such as: sensitivity, intensity, creativity, imagination, artistic streak and introspection.
Earth: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Earth is an element that refers to what is concrete and stable. Therefore, these signs share characteristics such as: resistance, stubbornness, rigidity, perseverance, caution and a practical view of the world.
Air: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Air is an element that highlights reason, idealism and sharing, at the same time as it remotes freedom, since it cannot be “imprisoned”. Therefore, these three signs have in common the gift for communication and socialization, they are smart and creative people, who tend to break the rules and have somewhat peculiar ideas.
Fire: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
Fire represents the action and vivacity of things, but, at the same time, irritability and fury, things that are literally consumed quickly, like a flame. So, in general, the signs that share the influence of this same element can be quite intense, controlling, extroverted and exploitative, and with a great sense of urgency.
