Using zodiac for telling the future as well as personality traits of an individual involves a lot more than just the knowledge of one’s date of birth. Consisting of a deep study of earth and other celestial bodies like stars as well as planets and their effect on the physical and physiological state of an individual, astrology is something that has allured human kind for centuries. While the various zodiac signs that are used to predict the future of an individual share some common characteristics with a person, astrologers also use the knowledge of four earthly elements to complement their future telling.
As the basics, zodiac elements are nothing but the earthly elements that are used to represent the fundamental elements found on the surface of earth namely, Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Western astrology groups these four elements with the twelve zodiac signs to determine the exact personality of an individual. All the twelve zodiac signs are divided among these four elements so that each element has a three zodiac signs allocated to it.
This article will inform you about the impact of various zodiac sign elements on the personality of a person:
Air – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
People who belong to Gemini, Libra or Aquarius zodiac sign have air as their element and share the qualities of air. They are thoughtful and are thought to have a moving attitude. Even though air provides the ability to easily move on with life, people belonging to this element are thoughtful enough to know where they are needed the most. Also known for their tremendous puzzle solving abilities, these people are good strategists and future planners. Although such people think real hard about problems and the ways to solve them, they will not stay on a problem for too long and also have commitment issues.
Water - Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio
Just like water, people born under this sign are sensitive and emotional beings. Being companionate about their work as well as relationships, people under this element are always liked for their hardworking abilities and have the unique skill to get the work done. Although they are laborious and dedicated to their work, these individuals should not be relied in the decision making matters related to business because of their emotional attitude. Being emotional, people belonging to this element can also become jealous and possessive but are equally inclined towards spirituality.
Fire - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
Fire brings energy and aggressiveness to the people of this element. Being superiorly energetic these individuals are always ready to try anything new and thus are very exploratory. While this experimentation goes on for a while, their aggressive and restless nature provided by the fire element also makes them get frustrated very easily if the things don’t turn out the way they want.
Earth - Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Just like earth, people belonging to this element show signs of earth element. The primary thing that is noticed in a person belonging to the earth element is his ability to be calm, quiet and steady in any endeavour. Thought to be reliable, these persons make slow and careful but good decisions and should always be trusted for their decision making abilities.

More To Zodiac Signs?
Call them a window to the future or a way to know more about a person, zodiac signs can be used to know a lot more about us than they are thought to possess. While you may not know it, zodiac signs were initially used by merchants and seafarers to navigate through the seas. While astrology was used for more than future telling, today its use seems more or less concentrated to the field of future telling only. Using zodiac signs is very easy; almost anyone who knows how to read can easily have a peek at his future by going through the days’ horoscope in a newspaper.
People can easily find their zodiac by matching their date of birth with that of a zodiac, if they fall in the month range of a zodiac; they are ruled by that zodiac and its characteristics. People use zodiacs for various purposes; while some may use it to know more about their future, others use it to find out about the personality of another person. A common use for zodiac signs is to test the compatibility in relationship between two people. Even though you may feel that it is a bit too farfetched, millions of people around the world seem to base their relationships on the basis of zodiac compatibility. Think deep and you will surly remember a person that you know is bitten by the astrology bug.
Sun sign or zodiac compatibility is one of the most popular uses of zodiac and this fact is clearly evident by the fact that a simple search on an internet search engine will return thousands of results, each claiming to be a better relationship compatibility chart than the other. Mostly used to find love compatibility with a partner, zodiac compatibility charts are created by matching the qualities between two zodiac signs.
You may be a believer in zodiac signs or not, you must be interested in finding out whether zodiac is really an effective medium to know your compatibility in a relationship or not. People often ask questions like, how can my date of birth decide who will I live happily ever after with? Isn’t it more appropriate to study the upbringing and the personality of an individual to measure compatibility in a relationship rather than the day he/she was born on? There are many such questions that raise doubts about the effectiveness of zodiac signs to measure compatibility in a relationship.
While astrologists claim the effectiveness of astrology by stating the point that it uses various scientifically proven points, critics believe that astrology is nothing but a series of carefully thought rules that seem to be right for any individual. People are often allured by astrology of other cultures and the huge popularity of Chinese as well as Vedic astrology is a proof of this fact. Even though many cultures have their own astrological beliefs, almost every such system depends on the study of celestial objects for telling future.

Personality and Zodiac Signs
Not only for future telling, astrology can also be used for getting an insight of an individuals’ personality. If you want, you can use astrology to analyse the personality of a person by using not one but numerous methods. If you are reading this article, it can be surely assumed that you have already had a past exposure to astrology and are pretty familiar with the concept of Zodiac signs. While you may be content with the knowledge that you have about your Zodiac sign, many others feel that having a general understanding of other zodiac signs is also a plus. Even though you may be a believer in astrology, the world is full of people who think that astrology is nothing but a hobby generally picked up by pseudo-scientific people.
Believe it or not, astrology is credited with the development of astronomy. Not only astronomy, after having a look at the wide scope of astrology, many users feel that it can also be credited as the mother of many other disciplines like alchemy. For understanding ones personality, the rich and varied field of astrology is not only limited to zodiac signs but also spans to other techniques like palm reading, numerology etc.
It is a common misconception than astrology is an ancient science that was only related with telling the future of a person with the use of zodiac signs. While you may not know it, astrology also studies various parameters like the effect of electric field on objects of large mass, the effect of gravitational force on individuals along with space-time relationship and their effect on an individual, and many of the results are surprisingly equal to the results we see after scientific calculation using latest apparatus seen today.
With the earth constantly maintaining an electric charge of 0 volts and the atmosphere hovering near thousands of volts, we are trapped inside an electric field that spans from the earth below us to the earths’ atmosphere above us. This super charged zone above earths’ atmosphere is called the ionosphere and contains massive amounts of electric current.
Interestingly, the top of our heads also contains a voltage that is slightly more than zero. As you may have suspected, we are constantly exposed to the changing currents in the upper atmosphere. This constant change can affect our body, its functioning, our thoughts and even our emotions.
Apart from electric charge, our body is also exposed to gravitational force which can be a big determinant of our personality. We all know the effect of moon on the water bodies of earth; yes, moon is the reason behind the generation of tides in the water bodies. Since the gravitational force of moon can have such an amazing effect on the water bodies of earth, imagine its effect on our body which consists of almost 70% water!
Put simply, astrology takes care of all the minute forces by carefully studying the various forces that act upon a human body.

History Of Zodiac Signs
Millions of people around the world follow astrological predictions on a daily basis and for that they use their zodiac signs. Even though you may be pretty familiar with your zodiac and its applicability in predicting your future, have you ever thought about the history behind these zodiac signs and how they came into existence? In your previous endeavours of reading your horoscope, you may have noticed that almost all Zodiac signs correspond to an animal, human or some other thing. Zodiac signs are used in astrology in accordance to the characteristics they share with individuals.
As it has been forwarded from generations to generations in the form of books, manuscripts and in other forms, the history of zodiac signs is a bit tricky to explain. Even though it may be really hard for a person to understand how astrology came into existence, famous astrologers and experts of this field are of a common belief that astrology and the conceptualisation of zodiac signs came into existence nearly 3,000 years ago.
While there is no documented proof of the origins of astrology and the twelve zodiac signs, relics belonging to ancient Egypt and parts of Babylonia point to the fact that these were the first civilisations to use astrology for predicting the future. Even though astrology and the study of zodiac signs may have started in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, advanced research and in-depth analysis of the study of stars and planets for future telling is often credited to India and China. While Mayan calendar still holds its significance for the believers of future telling, Chinese astrology is famous for its use of symbolic animals to predict the future of a person with amazing accuracy.
Being something that was mystical and had the power to amaze people, astrology went to many places and was gradually transformed into local versions. After ancient Egypt and Babylonia, astrology has been known to travel far and wide to the Roman Empire. Adopted from Hellenistic astronomy used by Babylonians of the Chaldean era, astrology in the Roman Empire was mostly limited to kings and merchants who required certain safeguards for protection against unwanted circumstances.
According to astrology, the twelve zodiac signs that we all correspond to, are divided into four main elements namely, Earth, Air, Water and Fire. As every zodiac sign is associated with an element, it represents certain characteristics in each of us. Given below is a list of signs that correspond to each of the elements:
Since ancient times, astrology has based future telling on the effect of these elements on an individual. For example, as fire relates to sun, destruction and aggression, zodiac signs that belong to this element will share these characteristics but in a profound or subdued manner. Not only from earthly elements, astrology also looks upon the position of earth, stars and other heavenly bodies to predict the future of an individual. Among the heavenly bodies, sun and moon are known to have maximum effect on an individual’s future.
