The first mentions of the location of stars, planets in the sky and their influence on people’s lives date back to the 5th millennium BC. e. They were of interest in Mesopotamia and Egypt, but the names known to us were given to the zodiac signs by the ancient Greeks, connecting them with the myths and exploits of the legendary Hercules. The zodiac signs were also divided by elements.
Many generations of sages and astrologers have sought the connection between a person’s date of birth and the main traits of his character. Their works often replaced the predictions of oracles, accurately describing the possible actions of people in different situations, as well as events in a person’s life related to the position of stars.
Chinese scientists became the founders of structuring zodiac signs by elements. Based on similar character traits, they came up with the idea of dividing them into four groups, associating them with metal, air, earth and water.
In the very first astrological treatises there was a fifth element, but it stood out from the general series, and was subsequently abandoned.
Zodiac signs belonging to the same element did not follow one another, but alternated at intervals of about three months. Thus, the 12 signs were divided into four main groups for the first time.
The Greeks improved the system by replacing metal with fire. In their opinion, the explosive temperament of the representatives of this element was more consistent with an unpredictable flame that easily turns into a fire and a natural disaster.
Main groups
Zodiac signs and elements give detailed description internal state a person and the characteristics of his interaction with others. Knowing the date of birth of a relative or friend and understanding the horoscope, you can predict their actions and reactions to various incidents. The main signs of different elements are described in detail, but to complete the picture it is better to study the features characteristic of the zodiac sign.
The three zodiac signs belong to the Earth element: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. Their similar qualities and characteristics:
- reliability;
- craving for material wealth;
- stubbornness.
Representatives of this element rarely commit rash acts; it is important for them to have a strong rear, Good work and stability in all areas of life.
Capricorn is not distinguished by a rich imagination, but he is persistent and persistent in any endeavor. He is characterized by a desire to occupy a high position in society, while Capricorn is not picky about his means. Heartlessness and composure are often the main components of his career success. However, he is able to become a loyal friend and support in difficult situations.
Of the three signs, Taurus is the most susceptible to hoarding and love of luxury. He is patient, but if you seriously anger him, the offender will get it in full. Taurus people care about their family and dream that their home will be cozy and that delicious dishes will always be waiting for them in the kitchen.
Virgo has one trait that creates problems in communicating and building long-term relationships with her. At first, she idealizes her new acquaintance, and then quickly becomes disappointed in him. If she manages to overcome maximalism, she will not find a better friend than Virgo. She loves to go shopping, where she tastefully chooses outfits. She is characterized by sophistication and sensitivity.
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius will not let others get bored. They are generators of all kinds of plans and ideas. Fire signs according to the horoscope are distinguished by:
- passion for travel;
- self-esteem;
- excess energy.
Representatives of the element of Fire are capable of sweeping gestures, which they regret more than once with the passage of time. They need to constantly discover something new, for which they go on long trips.
Aries does not tolerate being contradicted and will always passionately defend their point of view. Having a strong character, he does not strive to become a boss; rather, he wants to get a decent and exciting job that involves business trips. He is a faithful family man and loves children, whom he will mentor and guide in accordance with his views.
Leo behaves regal and proud. He will never do anything to the detriment of his person. He avoids people who do not recognize his primacy. Leo reflects the element of Fire, which gives the zodiac sign generosity and independence. He treats the mistakes of others condescendingly, considering it beneath his dignity to even point them out.
The main fidget in this trio is Sagittarius. Usually during his life he changes several houses, and often countries. He is uncomfortable immersing himself in routine. Extraordinary actions distinguish Sagittarius in any society. His clothing style can also be eccentric and flashy.
Water Group
Sensitive, emotional Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio are strikingly different from each other in many ways, although they belong to the same element. Their most common manifestations:
- compassion and empathy;
- flexibility in communication;
- need for approval.
Pisces are very artistic and easily get acquainted with the most different people. They are interested in views on life that differ from their own, they are not stubborn and are able to admit that their opponent is right. Artists and poets are often Pisces by horoscope, since this zodiac has the most developed sensitivity to emotions and beauty.
Sensitive, always doubtful, Cancer is attached to loved ones and reacts to any changes in their mood. He cannot be alone for a minute. He constantly needs support and a strong shoulder. Cancers are well versed in fashion trends, although they themselves prefer noble antiquities and classic outfits.
Scorpio is a sign of conflicting passions. He has a hypnotic gaze and a bewitching smile. Despite the apparent brutality and self-confidence, Scorpio painfully experiences any mistake or injustice in his soul. He begins to sting those who have offended him with caustic words, but to his real friends he is able to give the last thing he has.
The element of air includes such zodiac signs as Aquarius, Gemini and Libra. They have:
- passion for superficial knowledge;
- frequent mood swings and instability;
- impatience.
Aquarius loves equality in friendship and communication and does not try to adhere to traditions. He rather likes innovative ideas. He is very responsive and would like to help the whole world, so acquaintances often use this quality. However, Aquarius himself is not averse to manipulating people from time to time.
Geminis are constantly moving, not staying long in one place or with one person. For their grace and charm, those around them forgive them for their frivolity. Geminis tell fascinating stories, but do not like to listen to others. Their address book is filled with telephone numbers and names of people whom this zodiac sign considers him his friends and remembers them at the right moment.
Irresistible and gallant Libra does not leave representatives of the opposite sex indifferent. Many consider them ideal partners and do not want to share them with anyone. However, Libra needs access to theaters and exhibitions; they are not ready to sit within four walls, even with their loved ones. They extinguish any quarrel before it flares up and try to say nice things to people.
Knowing which element a person’s zodiac sign belongs to, it is easier to find common ground and understand the motives of his behavior.
The most dangerous is the union of Water and Fire, the participants of which are capable of driving each other into a frenzy with one word. Moreover, Water signs do not always show gentleness and friendliness in order to extinguish the anger of their fiery partner. Rather, they resemble a waterfall rushing quickly down a mountain, trying to win an argument.
All zodiac signs would like to get along with representatives of the Air element. Cheerful and cheerful, they captivate with their spontaneity and funny ideas. However air signs are not ready to tolerate routine and too strict control, so Air-Earth relations are complicated.
Feelings of the Air-Fire couple flare up quickly, but usually they are short-lived.
If you have wisdom and a desire to be together, any combination of elements and zodiac signs is acceptable. Small concessions and patience will benefit every union.

Before we talk about belonging Zodiac signs to this or that elements, I would like to give an initial idea of the elements themselves.
Many ancient philosophical teachings say that our world consists of two principles - male (active Yang) and female (passive Yin), and four primary elements (elements) - fire, air, water and earth. Moreover, the elements fire and air belong to the masculine principle, and water and earth – to the feminine.
If we state these ancient postulates modern language, then the following will happen.
Firstly, any action in the world is either active or passive in nature. These are the very two “principles” that the ancients wrote about - active (male, Yang) and passive (female, Yin).
Secondly, any object has an internal environment and an external shell, through which it interacts with the outside world. An object can be internally active and externally passive. For example, when a person sits in deep thought, then outwardly he is inactive. But many processes take place inside it - the brain, heart, circulatory system, etc. work.
An example of the opposite situation (when an object is internally passive and externally active) could be a mirror. There is no movement within it, it is passive. But at the same time, the mirror reflects surrounding objects, that is, it is externally active.
There can be only four such options for the state of an object. These are the four elements of our world.
Element of Fire - internally and externally active (Yang + Yang). The element strives for its expansion and interacts with the outside world.
Air Element - internally active and externally passive (Yang + Yin). The element expands, but does not interact with the world.
Water Element - internally passive, externally active (Yin + Yang). The element does not have internal expansion, but there is interaction with the environment.
Earth element - internally and externally passive (Yin+Yin). The element lacks both expansion and interaction with the world.
Zodiac signs correlate with principles and elements as follows:

Water Element(liquid state of matter) - feelings and emotions, psyche, soul.
Gives a person emotionality, romanticism, caring, sensitivity, diligence, hard work, responsibility, attention to detail. But it gives the character hysteria, subjectivism, pettiness, greed, jealousy, inconstancy of feelings, dependence of mood on the environment.
Earth Element(solid state of matter) - shape, structure, body.

And the third sign - Sagittarius, partially passes into the next element, therefore it has some of its qualities.
