Core traits of four elements
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Passionate, action-oriented, outward-focused. Value self-expression. Can be impulsive and straightforward.
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Practical and steady. Focus on reality and security. Good at execution, tends to be reserved.
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Strong in thinking and communication. Value ideas and logic. Emotionally detached, with shifting thoughts.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): High empathy, sensitive feelings. Prioritise emotional bonds. Introspective and easily influenced by moods.
Each symbol comes from mythology. Aries is the ram, Taurus the bull, Pisces two fish swimming in opposite directions. Symbols visually summarise each sign’s energy.
Note: People born on cusp dates may be affected by the Sun’s actual movement in a given year. Do not rely solely on calendar dates.
