The air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. The element of air
conceerned with the intellect ; it is adaptable. Air is good at
rationalizing things and dealing with ideas, but air can have
difficult with emotions.
The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. The earth signs
are stable and practical, and they are sometimes thought of as
stubborn. They are concerned with the mudane details of the world,
and what really exists. They can have trouble with non-tangible
ideas, however.
The fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of fire
represents action, spirit, and vitality. Fire signs warm whatever they
are around with their large spirit, but they can sometimes lack a
sensitivity to others.
The water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Water concerns
emotions and sensitivity. Water signs are good at feel and being in
their emotions but they can sometimes have difficulty dealing with
the mundane world or expressing their feelings in words.
The cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Cardinal signs are
initiatory, very good at beginning things, but perhaps not so good
at continuing on-going processes. The cardinal signs represent the
four quarters of the zodiac, the beginnings of the seasons, the
equinoxes and solstice points.
The fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These are
the signs following the signs representing the beginning of the
seasons. Cardinal signs can be very stubborn ("fixed" in their
opinions), but are relatively unconcerned with external opinion.
When a fixed-sign person changes his or her mind, the decision comes
from an internal source, so the decision is usually strongly
adopted. While fixed signs are not good at beginning things, the
are very good at carrying out a process for the long run.
The mutable signs, also known as the common signs, are Gemini,
Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. The mutable signs are concerned with people,
thus the name common. While cardinal signs can be seen as originating
energy and the fixed signs as concentrating energy, the mutable
signs distribute energy. Mutuable signs can be seen as flexible or
changeable.
