While reading your horoscope on your astrology app, you may have come across phrases like “fire sign” or “air sign”. If you wondered what these phrases meant, they refer to the four main elements in astrology: Air, earth, fire, and Water.
Significance of the four elements in your zodiac signs
Each of the twelve zodiac signs falls under each one of the four elements. Each astrological element rules three zodiac signs each. Knowledge of which element rules your zodiac sign will help you gain insight into your nature and understand yourself better. Moreover, knowing which element you fall under can also be beneficial in finding out with which you will get along well.
For example, Aries and Leo are both fire signs or signs ruled by the astrological element of fire. Hence Aries and Leo make excellent friends or romantic partners as they tend to be more perceptive of each other’s emotional nature and, therefore, can take care of each other better.
Apart from astrology, the mention of the four elements occurs in occult practices and instruments such as tarot card readings alongside astrology. You are more than your sun sign. The more knowledge you gain about these four astrological elements, the more you will gain insight into their influence on your sign and nature.
Your birth chart contains all the twelve signs and can help you find out more about each element’s varying level of influence on each sign. If you do not have your birth chart, pulling up one is easy using your astrology app, you only have to know the time and place of your birth.
By studying your birth chart, you will learn which element is dominant in your charts and what might be its influence on your life. You can use the astrology chat available on the online Astroyogi platform for more detailed information.
