Associate the zodiac signs with the elements
The 12 zodiac signs were divided among the four elements already in the Renaissance, with three signs associated with each element. However, the first associations were by no means consistent. Different sources could provide wildly different groupings.
signs
Your sign is determined by the date of birth. According to the tropical zodiac, the most commonly used system in the mainstream media as a newspaper horoscope, the signs are:
Aquarius: January 21-February. 19
Pisces: February 20-March 20
Aries: March 21-April 20
Taurus: April 21-May 21
Twins: May 22-June 21
Cancer: June 22-July 22
Leo: July 23-August. 21
Virgo: August 22-September 23
Libra: Oct 24 23
Scorpio: October 24-Nov. 22
Sagittarius: November 23-Dec. 22
Capricorn: December 23rd-January. 20
Elements
In modern times, the grouping of signs with elements has been standardized:
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Air: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
This association is part of the complex network of correspondences used by occultists. People who attempt to attract fire influences, for example, may wish to do so during times of the year governed by a fire sign. Matches can also be used to describe people born under the signs of a particular element.
Fire
The fire element represents energy. Although water has great earthly energy, it cannot be compared to the energy of the sun, although both can be equally important to humans. Fire has strong male energy but often neglects female principles. Life without love, a feminine principle, is not worth living, therefore people on fire must respect their emotional side and recognize their emotional needs. The biggest challenge for those led by fire is to remain calm and peaceful, remembering that passivity is as necessary as an activity.
Aria
This element connects all other elements and is found in all. Life is not possible without fire, but fire cannot exist without air. The signs belonging to this element have strong needs to feel free and problems with the surrounding environment. Their goal is often to stop pleasing others and follow their more liberating ideas. But their biggest challenge is to find the base instead of staying in the higher spheres, where everything seems possible but isn't. Airy people have to stop talking and make concrete moves. They are balanced from the earth and need a healthy daily routine and physical activity to stay aware of their physical existence.
water
This is the element of constant, slow and constant, swirling movement within us, of conception and death, illusions and fairy tales. It is also the element of emotion. Perhaps embracing emotion is the biggest task of all, accepting the negative with the positive, anger and sadness with love. Aquatic people are said to be too emotional, but their sensitivity and fragility make them perfect therapists, helping those with deep emotional problems. Water is a pool of infinite possibilities, but it is almost impossible to find a direction if there is no contact with fire, which offers energy, passion and direction to talents. The water alone is magical and dreamy, but without direction, it could let us go round in circles without finding our way.
Terra
Earth is the basis for our existence and materialization of our desires. But it is rigid and immobile, it needs air for balance. Lack of land makes grounding difficult. The signs of the Earth value material things and hard work, making plans and putting them into action. People with this element could spend years following habits that do not make them happy, neglecting their intelligence and creativity. Earth's challenge is to recognize something as fast, unstable and transparent as air. Unbalanced Earthlings must change routines and stop questioning their decisions. They should take coffee breaks, walk aimlessly and socialize. They need people who change places and ambitions. Their best exercise is a spontaneous dance with a relaxed partner.
