Twelve Zodiac Signs: Dates, Symbols and Element Classification

Dates, symbols and the four-element nature behind every sign.

In astrology, each zodiac sign has its own date range, unique symbol, and belongs to one of four elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Elements reflect the fundamental energy of each sign, offering deeper insight than dates alone. Aries ♈: Mar 21-Apr 19, Fire Taurus ♉: Apr 20-May 20, Earth Gemini ♊: May 21-Jun 21, Air Cancer ♋: Jun 22-Jul 22, Water Leo ♌: Jul 23-Aug 22, Fire Virgo ♍: Aug 23-Sep 22, Earth Libra ♎: Sep 23-Oct 23, Air Scorpio ♏: Oct 24-Nov 22, Water Sagittarius ♐: Nov 23-Dec 21, Fire Capricorn ♑: Dec 22-Jan 19, Earth Aquarius ♒: Jan 20-Feb 18, Air Pisces ♓: Feb 19-Mar 20, Water 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.
