Zodiac Signs Elements

Zodiac Signs Elements is a common term in western astrology and in Vedic astrology as well, and we all have come across some time or the other. There are four elements in astrology: fire, earth, air, and water. Each of 12 zodiac signs falls into one of the four elements. This way, 3 signs come under one element each.

It is noteworthy that just like the zodiac signs, even nakshatras are divided into four different elements. The zodiac signs alone as we know are not capable of giving accurate predictions and nakshatras play an equally important role in shaping an individual’s personality. Hence, the horoscopes used by us as examples are even based on Nakshatras and not just zodiac signs.

ZODIAC SIGN ELEMENT STRIKING QUALITY COMPATIBILITY
ARIES, LEO, SAGITTARIUS FIRE DYNAMIC, CHARISMATIC,PASSIONATE FIRE AIR SIGNS

These serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviors associated with the twelve zodiac signs. These elements also help us in understanding the compatibility between zodiac signs. These common astrology elements do help us understand and decipher the underlying nature of the zodiacs and the intricacies of their nature. Now let us understand a little more deeply about these zodiac sign elements.

Fire Signs- Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

As their zodiac sign element already suggests, fire signs are of ‘Agni tattva’ as the planets ruling them have a fiery nature. Aries is ruled by Mars, which is a hot, masculine planet, Leo is ruled by the Sun, and as we all know it is a ball of gasses and generates a lot of heat astronomically and is often termed as a ‘ball of fire’ and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter which is also termed as a fiery planet. The zodiac element of these signs and their ruling planets is fire.

Fire signs are born leaders who inspire others to become the best version of themselves. Those born under the Fire element often find compatibility with fellow Fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius). They can also get along well with Air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius), as Air adds intellectual depth to the fiery spirit. Likewise, nakshatras belonging to the Agni Tattva are: Uttraphalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha and Anuradha.

Air Signs- Gemini, Libra Aquarius

They are constantly in motion, inciting a whirlwind of change and excitement. You might suspect you're with an air sign if they're a fun, bubbly person who can effortlessly keep a conversation going. So people born under an air sign are adventurous, curious, and ever-changing, just like a breeze. Air signs represent intellect, communication, and social interaction, highlighting a focus on ideas, relationships, and intellectual engagement. The Nakshatras categorized on the Air zodiac signs elements are Jyeshtha, Moola, Purvashada, Uttarashada and Sravana. Let us again understand with an example of a famous personality.

Water signs are highly intuitive and emotional. When it comes to their loved ones they are super supportive. People like to talk to them, as they radiate a peaceful and gentle energy. Profound conversations are what water signs love the most. While fire signs are generally action-oriented, air signs tend to be focused on interpersonal and intellectual pursuits, and earth signs are pragmatic planners, water signs lead with emotion. Family-oriented dreamers and artists, water signs are the emotional — and sure, sometimes moody — empaths of the zodiac. They allow their sensitive, giving hearts to run the show and have no problem diving into the deep end of spirituality, often pouring their experience into their favorite creative outlets. The nakshatras falling under the water element are: Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Purvaphalguni and Magha. Let us understand this using another horoscope:
