Here is some info on the Elements and how they relate to Sun Signs


The twelve signs are divided into four elements: Fire, Air, Water, and Earth. Each element has three signs within it's group, and because of this, they are also named the triplicities, meaning groups of three. Fire and Air are known as the possitive or masculine elements, representing energy rising upward and extroversion. The Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire signs are enthusiastic, self-confident, assertive, courageous, and usually display a great love of life. The Air Signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Air is spacious and free-moving symbolizing thought and intellect. These signs love thinking, and can be quite analytical and detatched, but they also need to communicate. The feminine and negative elements are Water and Earth. They tend toward introversion, and represent energy moving downward. The Earth Signs are Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. These signs are very down-to-earth, solid, practical, and concerned with the material world. The three Water Signs are Caner, Scorpio, and Pisces. Water signs are in tune with their emotions, and usually have powerful imaginations and feelings. A strong affinity exsists between signs of each element group because they share many of the same characteristics. The six positive signs will have much in common, as will the six negative signs.
