Fire signs of the zodiac. Water Signs: Water Element (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

The ancient Greek scientist Empedocles discovered the four elements, the four fundamental elements of the universe - fire, earth, water, air. The characteristics of the elements were given by Aristotle, whose works formed the basis of astrology, decomposed these basic elements in this way:

Water is the union of moisture and cold;
Earth - the union of cold and dryness;
Fire is the union of dryness and heat;
Air is the union of heat and moisture.

Four elements: characteristic

These four elements are in direct connection with the 12 signs of the Zodiac. So the elements of fire belong to Leo, Sagittarius, Aries. Air elements - Libra, Gemini, Aquarius. Elements of water - Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio Elements of earth - Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo.

These internal connections between the elements and signs of the Zodiac are very complex and multi-associative.

Fire. Characteristics of the elements: mobility, liveliness, internal energy, inspiration, desire for power, thirst for change, creative burning, suddenness, brightness.

Water. Characteristics of the elements: passive, impressionable, easily suggestible, receptive and plastic. But she is the main magical force, she is characterized by detachment from everything real and earthly, internal variability and purity.

Earth. Characteristics of the elements: inviolability, severity, sense of responsibility, concentration, rationalism. It is the basis of everything stable and unchanging.

Air. Characteristics of the elements: variability, information, communication, active penetrating principle. He is characterized by verbosity, lightness, independence.

Four elements of the zodiac and temperaments

The four elements also underlie the four human temperaments. Under the sign of water, cold phlegmatic people are born, air controls ardent sanguine people, gloomy melancholic people are closely connected with the earth, and, of course, fire is the basis of explosive and bright choleric natures.

The signs of the Zodiac are also associated with the division of all things into male and female. The female signs are earth and water signs: Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, Cancer, Virgo and Taurus. They are a symbol of the passive, perceiving beginning. Male signs - signs of fire and air: Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra They are active beginnings, the driving force of all transformations, a force that gives its energy to others.

In addition, each sign of the Zodiac corresponds to a certain part of the human body, on which it exerts its influence. Ancient physicians took this influence into account when prescribing the necessary treatment for their patients.

The twelve signs of the Zodiac are divided into four groups according to the elements, as well as into three groups according to qualities or crosses. The elements of the signs of the Zodiac show stable qualities and temperament, and the crosses show the dynamics of manifestation, the type of human behavior. Each cross contains all four elemental characteristics, and each element has its representation in all three crosses. Thus, trigons and crosses personify the unity of the Zodiac - four temperaments and three types of manifestation give the fullness of life.

Fire Release

The features of this element are warmth and dryness, which are accompanied by metaphysical energy, life and its strength. There are 3 signs in the Zodiac that have these qualities, the so-called. fire trine (triangle): Aries, Leo, Sagittarius.

The fire trine is considered a creative trine.

Principle: action, activity, energy.

Fire is the main governing force of instinct, spirit, thought and mind, forcing you to go forward, to believe, to hope, to defend your convictions. The main driving force of Fire is ambition. Fire gives zeal, impatience, carelessness, self-confidence, irascibility, impetuosity, arrogance, courage, courage, militancy. In the human body, it maintains life, is responsible for the temperature regime and stimulates the metabolism.

People whose horoscopes highlight the trine of the element of Fire have a choleric temperament. These people will never go unnoticed, they will achieve the recognition of others, especially in the environment that is congenial to them and is ideologically connected with them. These people have a creative spirit and unshakable will, inexhaustible "Martian energy" and outstanding penetrating power. The element of Fire gives organizational talent, a thirst for activity and enterprise.

The peculiarity of the people of this trine is the ability to be inspired and be devoted to an idea, cause, partner, up to self-sacrifice. They are brave, courageous and courageous. The rise of their soul and their inherent business activity help them reach the heights both in the spiritual and material spheres. They get real pleasure from their activities, are proud of the results of their work and expect universal recognition.

Fire people are innate leaders who love and know how to lead and order. They are, as it were, charged with a cosmic electrical voltage of a certain polarity, which they transmit to others in the form of attraction or repulsion, which keeps the people around them in constant tension and excitement. They try to win personal freedom, independence and independence, which is dearest to them, already at an early age. But there is one paradox: they do not like to obey and do not want to, but their ability to adapt to various circumstances is excellently developed.

They have strongly expressed such character traits as perseverance, perseverance, self-affirmation, waywardness, intransigence. Anyone who is associated with a person of the trine of Fire in partnerships knows well that these people always stick to their line. They can be chief conductors, performers of the main roles, but never extras. It is simply impossible to subordinate them to someone else's will, only they will command the parade and lead, although often from behind the scenes. They recognize only wise and just autocracy and most of all hate despotism and tyranny in any of their forms.

The people of the trigon of Fire at first quickly “light up”, are inspired by new ideas and people, without much hesitation, immediately get involved in the matter, involving their entire environment in it to achieve the goal they have set, which comes to them from outside, or is born in them. But they also quickly cool off to an already begun, old business, if they are inspired by a new, more significant idea for them, or if the business takes on a protracted nature and requires constant effort. These are people of a jerk, an impulse, waiting for them is like death. Fire is that creative force that can lift them up to the "seventh heaven" or "throw them into the abyss."

People belonging to the elements of Fire must restrain their negative character traits, especially ardor and impetuosity, militancy and aggressiveness. They must avoid conflict situations and confrontation with the outside world, so as not to harm their idea, for which they are fighting, not their cause, the implementation of which they dream.

The children of this trine are difficult to educate, often not amenable to education at all, and in order to have at least the slightest result in working with them, specific methods of education have to be applied. Violence and coercion are categorically excluded, as this causes stubbornness, obstinacy and resistance in them. They can only be approached with love and affection, with warmth and gentleness of the heart, it is very important to be fair with them, never deceive them, never belittle their self-esteem.

earth element

The features of this element are cold and dryness, metaphysical matter, strength and density. In the Zodiac, this element is represented by an earthly trine (triangle): Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

The Earth trine is considered a materialistic trine.

Principle: stability.

The earth creates forms, laws, gives concreteness, stability, stability. Earth structures, analyzes, classifies, creates a foundation. It has such qualities as inertia, confidence, practicality, reliability, patience, rigor. In the body, the Earth gives inhibition, petrification through contraction and compression, slows down the process of metabolism.

People of this trine achieve success thanks to such excellent character traits as perseverance, perseverance, endurance, endurance, determination, and steadfastness. They do not have such a fantasy and vivid, vivid imagination as the signs of the Water trine, they lack utopian ideas, like the signs of Fire, but they stubbornly go towards their goal and always achieve it. They choose the path of least external resistance, and when obstacles arise, they mobilize their strength and energy to overcome everything that prevents them from reaching their intended goal.

People with a predominance of the elements of the Earth stand firmly on their feet, prefer stability, moderation, consistency. They love a sedentary lifestyle, attached to home, property and homeland. Periods of recovery and well-being are replaced by crises, which can be prolonged due to the inertia of the trigon of the Earth. It is this inertia that does not allow them to quickly switch to a new type of activity or relationship. This shows their limited ability to adapt to anyone and anything, with the exception of the sign of Virgo.

People with a pronounced element of the Earth usually choose a profession related to material values, money or business. Often they have "golden hands", they are excellent artisans, they can be successful in applied sciences and applied arts. They are patient, submissive to circumstances, sometimes take a wait-and-see attitude, while not forgetting about their daily bread. Everything is done with one goal - to improve your physical existence on earth. There will also be care for the soul, but this is on a case-by-case basis. All of the above is easily achievable for them, provided that their energy does not go to such negative character traits as ultra-egoism, excessive prudence, self-interest and greed.

Air Release

The features of this element are heat and humidity, flexibility, divisibility, adaptability. In the Zodiac, these qualities correspond to the air trine (triangle): Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.

The Air trine is considered the trine of ideas and intelligence.

Principle: exchange, contact.

Air defines contacts and relationships. The element of Air endows a person with such qualities as mobility, activity, liveliness, changeability, flexibility, agility, receptivity, omnipresence, infinity, curiosity. The air is independent, free. He is responsible for the main processes on Earth - movement, reproduction, procreation, that is, for the transmission of life.

People whose horoscopes express the element of Air have a sanguine temperament. Such people can make an impression. They are quick in decisions and deeds, easily and quickly grasp any information, then they pass it all on to other people in a processed form in their own way. They instantly adapt to any changes and changes in life. They are characterized by spiritual flexibility, lability of the psyche, mobility of the mind, they are tireless, as long as they are passionate about some business. Monotony makes them tired.

The shortcomings of the nature of the people of the element of Air include the lack of solidity and depth in the sphere of thinking, in the sphere of feelings and activity, they are very unreliable, they cannot be relied upon. They are too superficial, nervous, indecisive, their goals and plans are constantly fluctuating, changing. But they can present their shortcomings as advantages.

No trine has such abilities for diplomacy and a secular lifestyle as the trine of Air. This is a virtuoso in the ability to establish numerous and diverse connections, to grasp, connect and use heterogeneous information. People of the Air do not tolerate a sedentary lifestyle, a business routine, most often they do not have a stable profession, unless it is related to information, travel and contacts.

The people of the trine of Air have the greatest success in the field of science, technology, the world of arts, especially literature. And journalism is just their element. The best assistants of these people in their work are their constant striving for more and more new impressions, new experiences, a continuous exchange of thoughts and ideas, views and opinions with people around them and their ability to establish quick connections and contacts. Their ideal is to be in the center of all events.

Most often, people of the element of Air do not fit into the generally accepted framework because of the craving for freedom, they do not like obligations, they avoid excessive dramatization of relationships. Even ordinary family life for them may seem like a certain "cross" from which they will try to escape or, at least, make it easier.
Monotony and monotony are their worst enemy, so crises in the field of love and marriage are a common story for them. Their superficial feelings can quickly ignite and inspire, and close contacts can be made even from the first meeting and with the first person they meet, but all this will continue exactly until the meeting with the next object of delight and admiration, to a new cause of inspiration and enthusiasm.

Parents and educators of the children of the trigon of Air should pay special attention to their excessive idealism, superficiality of thinking, susceptibility to other people's influence. Therefore, it is necessary as early as possible to lay in them that moral core, which will be their support in life. Since the child of this trine is very susceptible to both bad and good influences, it is very important who is next to him. The role of parents in choosing friends is very important. With such a child, one must be constantly in contact, participate in his affairs and be close during the holidays, then the spiritual connection between parents and the child will last until the end of life.

The biggest advantage of people of this element is the ability to contact the outside world, the ability to connect people and circumstances, and the biggest danger is mental and spiritual fragmentation, often causing unnecessary worries and disappointments.

Water Release

The features of this element are cold and humidity, metaphysical sensitivity, feeling, perception. There are 3 signs of this quality in the Zodiac - a water trine (triangle): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

The trine of water is considered the trine of feelings and sensations.

Principle: the constancy of the internal with external variability.

Water is emotions, inner peace, preservation, memory. It is plastic, changeable, secretive. Gives such qualities as uncertainty, daydreaming, imaginative thinking, softness of manifestation. In the body, it slows down the metabolism, manages fluids, the work of the endocrine glands.

People whose horoscopes express the element of Water have a phlegmatic temperament. These people have great sensitivity, are very receptive and impressionable, thinking, living more of an inner life than an outer one. People of the trine of Water are usually contemplative, they think both about their own good and about the good of their loved ones, however, at times they are indifferent, lethargic, lazy, with the exception of people of the Scorpio sign. Their external manifestation of feelings is not as pronounced as among the representatives of the trigons of Fire or Air, but they experience internal feelings with great strength and depth.

For people of the trigon of Water, businesslikeness, practicality, sobriety of thought, objectivity are not a strong point, but they do not hold fantasies, they have a rich and lively imagination, great internal and external strength, especially among Scorpios.

Water signs can also be great workers in service and food related areas. And Scorpions are also great detectives because of their subtle intuition.

The plans and moods of the people of the trigon of Water can change both from external circumstances and from the internal state of the soul. An insignificant detail, sometimes not even tracked by consciousness, can radically change their state of mind, which can lead to a complete loss of interest either in business or in a partner.

People of the element of Water have great spiritual sophistication, are kind, polite, courteous, very pretty and attractive. They are usually not aggressive, with the exception of the Scorpio.

Of the signs of the trine of Water, Scorpio is the strongest in body and spirit, the most substantial, the most aggressive, not amenable to undesirable outside influences and exerting strong resistance to everything that his soul does not agree with. His patience, endurance, tenacity and perseverance are simply amazing.

The weakest of the zodiac signs of the Water trine is Pisces. The middle between hardness and instability is occupied by the third sign of this trine - Cancer. Although his spiritual sphere is also very receptive and impressionable, he is distinguished by noticeable perseverance, endurance and purposefulness, therefore, of all the water signs, it is Cancer who most often achieves success in life.

The feelings of all three signs of the trigon of Water are approximately equally strong and, as a rule, prevail over the mind. These people are always ready to make self-sacrifice for the good of a dear person, as they always have deep and pure feelings towards loved ones and loved ones. If they are not appreciated, they leave their partner forever, which is a real drama of life for them. They are looking for a partner who is worthy of them. Love and marriage are of paramount importance to them in life, especially for women.

An excessive tendency to daydreaming and fantasies, too vivid imagination can lead to an internal contradiction - a collision of their illusions with reality. If a person does not see a way out of this state, depression, addiction to alcohol, drugs, other stimulants, even mental illness can occur.

Classification of the signs of the Zodiac according to 3 qualities (crosses)

Cardinal (main) signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

The cardinal cross is the cross of the will, the material basis of the universe, the new impulse of the idea. Its main quality is the desire for realization. It is always directed to the future. It gives dynamism, activity, striving for a goal. A person in whose horoscope the Sun, Moon or most of the personality planets are in cardinal signs will be a man of action.

Such people are energetic and live in the present, for them the most important thing is the current moment in time and the feeling of “here and now”. Therefore, their emotions and sensations are distinguished by brightness and great strength. Their joy is as strong and sincere as disappointment, but any emotions are short-lived, because soon these signs plunge into a new life, into new sensations, start a new business.

With age, their moods become more even and come to their usual businesslike mood. Obstacles do not frighten them, but only increase the pressure and desire for the goal. However, they do not have much strength to withstand the struggle for their goal for too long.

Therefore, if the struggle with an obstacle is too long or the results of one’s efforts are not visible at all, then such an obstacle begins to seem insurmountable, which leads to disappointment, causes a breakdown and can even lead to depression. Also detrimental to them is the lack of dynamics and the opportunity to take the initiative. Such a person will always strive forward and upward, captivating with his energy. He is always in sight, noticeably rises above his surroundings, achieves his life goal and reaches a high social level.

Fixed (stable) signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

A fixed cross is a cross of evolution, stability and stability, accumulation, concentration of development. He uses the experience of the past. It gives stability, hardness, strength, durability, stability. A person in whose horoscope the Sun, Moon or most of the personal planets are in fixed signs is distinguished by conservatism, inner calmness, steadfastness, perseverance, perseverance, patience, endurance, and prudence. He fiercely resists what they try to impose on him, and is able to rebuff anyone.

Nothing irritates him so much as the need to change something, no matter what area of \u200b\u200blife it may concern. He loves certainty, consistency, requires guarantees of reliability in order to be protected from any surprise.
Although he does not have sharp impulses, ease in making decisions that are inherent in other signs, he is distinguished by constancy of opinions, stability in his habits and life positions. He is attached to his work, he can work tirelessly, "till you drop."

He is also constant in his attachments to friends and relatives, firmly and steadfastly clings to someone or something, whether it be material value, social status, a faithful friend, a devoted like-minded person or a close and beloved person.

The people of the fixed cross are faithful, devoted and reliable, they are the knights of the word. You can always rely on their promises. But it is worth deceiving them only once, and their trust is lost, maybe even forever. People of the fixed cross have strongly expressed desires, passions, they act only from their own motives and always rely on their own instincts. Their feelings, sympathies and antipathies are unshakable, unshakable. Adversity, failures and blows of fate do not bend them, and any obstacle only strengthens their perseverance and perseverance, as it gives them new strength to fight.

Mutable (mobile) signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces

A mutable cross is a cross of reason, connection, adaptation, distribution. The main quality is the transformation of the idea. He is always here and now, that is, in the present. It gives mobility, flexibility, adaptability, complaisance, duality. People in whose horoscopes the Sun, Moon or most of the personal planets are in mutable signs have diplomatic abilities. They have a flexible mind, subtle intuition. They tend to be very cautious, prudent, alert and constantly in a state of expectation, which helps them adapt to any situation.

The main thing for them is to have information. When they feel not very competent or informed in any matter, they are excellent at dodging and dodging everyone and everything, although they are considered the most knowledgeable of the entire Zodiac. They are sociable, courteous, talkative, are interesting interlocutors. They easily and skillfully lose ground, confess their mistakes and mistakes, agree with their opponents, interlocutors.

People of the mutable cross strive for inner harmony, concord, mediation and cooperation, but are subject to strong internal unrest and outside influence. Their biggest passion is curiosity, which keeps them in constant motion. Their views and worldview are rather unstable and depend on the environment. Often they do not have their own point of view. This partly explains the reasons for their imbalance and inconstancy, changes in their lives.

The true goals and plans of these people are difficult to predict, but they almost unmistakably guess the plans of others. They use any opportunity that can bring them benefit or profit, skillfully manage to bypass the blows of fate. People of the mutable cross are born realists. To achieve their goal, they use numerous friends, buddies, neighbors, relatives, colleagues, even unfamiliar people.

Life crises are easily experienced and quickly forgotten. If there is no direct path to a life goal, then they will take a circuitous path, considering each step, bypassing all visible sharp corners, bypassing all pitfalls. What helps them with their natural cunning and cunning, flattery and deceit, the ability to cheat. Mutable signs will help out of any emergency, unusual situation, such a situation will not make them nervous, they will only feel their element in which they can finally act. At the same time, their psyche and nervous system are very unstable. Serious obstacles can quickly disable them, unsettle them and push back the achievement of the goal. In this case, they do not resist, but go with the flow.

Astrology for beginners - video

ARIES. Yang, Fire, cardinal. Mars rules, the Sun culminates, Saturn is debilitated, Venus is imprisoned.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac. The zero degree of Aries is the vernal equinox, the beginning of a new solar cycle. Aries manifests itself brightly, unambiguously, straightforwardly. Aries has no halftones: you are either a friend or an enemy; love - either his whole life, or not love; he is either full of energy or plunged into an abyss of depression. The Aries look is global. He has no attention to particulars and details. He looks at the world, the idea, the partner in general - and instantly makes a decision whether it is “his” or “not his”. Aries lives here and now - in the past they were owned by completely different energy flows and it was not quite him, in the future they will be owned by others.

Aries moves through life on strong energy flows (“an adrenaline addict” is about Aries). The disappearance of the stream is unbearable for him. He immediately begins to look for a new one, and if he does not find it, then he falls into a deep depression. This dependence on external energy flows makes him an easy prey for more stable, but less energetic signs. In moments of energy breakdown, Aries can agree to what is frankly not useful to him.

The rulership of Mars gives Aries direct access to energy. This is the position of "I see the goal - I see no obstacles." What will be the goals, and what obstacles he casually tramples with his hooves - this is a matter of the level of development of a person in general and / or a planet that is in Aries.

The culmination of the Sun during the study gives a more subtle and consistent embodiment of their ideas - Aries no longer jumps from one energy feeder to another, but can steadily carry out the same flow despite natural fluctuations in the energy level.

The imprisonment of Venus - the shadow side of Aries - gives a picture of "they wanted the best, but it turned out as always." Deep inside, Aries is driven by lofty ideals of beauty, harmony, and justice, but lacks the subtlety and precision that is required to bring those ideals to life.

The fall of Saturn is manifested in the depressive states of Aries. Actually, these states are given to him in order for him to comprehend what kind of firewood he messed up again and learn more conscious flow control. But since the lack of involvement in the flow is completely unbearable for an undeveloped Aries, he, as a rule, cannot do spiritual work, but urgently looks for where to connect. He connects to streams of less and less quality, and gradually falls into a very severe depression, where, there is nothing to do, he has to deal with these disgusting particulars and subtleties.

To work out, Aries needs to learn to regulate the intensity of the flow in order to hear subtle Venusian indications, endure low-energy states and exit them with Saturnian wisdom, distribute energy over a long distance, hear the rhythm of one's destiny.

A LION. Yang, Fire, fixed. The Sun rules, Pluto culminates, Uranus and Saturn are imprisoned, Mercury is in the fall.

Being a fixed fire sign, Leo has already mastered some of the skills to control the energy flow, but is also more dependent on it. If Aries just brings the idea into the world, then it is important for Leo that the idea is accepted. He is associated with what he is trying to embody, and the defeat of the idea means a personal defeat for him.In practice, this means that the undeveloped Leo looks (and is) an extreme egoist ("The state is I!" - said the French king Louis XVII, The Sun King)

On the other hand, Leo already sees the nuances: the flow can be stronger or weaker, change direction (not drastically, but in detail) over time, be modified. For Leo, followers are very important: he is extremely dependent on their assessment (of himself and the flow), greedy for flattery, especially when things are not going very well.

The Sun as the ruler of the sign gives Leo the feeling that his will is the law. However, his task is to figure out whose will he is pursuing at any given moment: his Self or the egregore he serves. In the first case, Leo will stop at nothing to stay in the stream - any measures, up to criminal ones, can be used. In the second, he needs to be conscious enough to listen not to his beloved, but to what the direction of his flow dictates to him.

Pluto's climax means Leo is referring to a very practical rearrangement of reality. His ideas change the world (even if, given the level of development, his world is him and his egoic consumer desires). Leo easily gathers followers around him for such a restructuring, he is a born leader and knows how to lead people on his stream, infecting them with his leading idea and charging them with his energy for its embodiment.

Imprisonment of Uranus does not allow Leo to see new opportunities and unexpected twists. If Leo rushed somewhere, it is almost impossible to lead him astray, but it is also an impossible task to convey something new to him.

The imprisonment of Saturn is expressed in the desire of Leo to ride on the energy flow, not taking into account the practical reality and subtleties of the task before him. The problem here is that for the time being (often before the second return of Saturn) Leo succeeds, but then he has to work out all the mistakes at once, and this ends in severe depression, heart disease and serious career failures.

The fall of Mercury gives Leo a disregard for the purely mental planning of his actions and interaction with people. Leo is more inclined to push through his idea than to agree. However, without a rational assessment, one can easily lose touch with reality, which happens to Lions from time to time.

SAGITTARIUS. Yang, Fire, mutable. Jupiter rules, Venus culminates, Mercury in its fall.

Sagittarius is the softest of the fire signs. Of course, this does not mean that Sagittarius is not greedy for flattery, does not neglect the world around him and people (which, however, like other fiery signs, is easily forgiven him) and is not absorbed by the fiery idea. But this means that he does not insist on anything, is not inclined to break through the wall with his forehead and is almost independent of his fiery flow. More precisely, he knows how to regulate and modify it almost as he likes, and on occasion even change it. But almost never completely without energy and extremely rarely (except for a severe defeat) gets depressed.

Jupiter's rule gives Sagittarius generosity and cheerfulness. He always has a couple more ideas in reserve, if for some reason you didn’t like the first one. And if nothing suits you at all, he will calmly turn around and leave, not at all disappointed, because there are always a lot of fans around him. Sagittarians are happy to give out promises, and sincerely strive to fulfill them. But if it doesn’t work out, they won’t be upset at all. "To whom I owe - I forgive" - the most that neither is a Streltsov expression.

Jupiter's rulership means the ability to synthesize and a good understanding of the situation, which makes Sagittarians extremely lucky. They, like no other sign of the Zodiac, know how to be at the right time in the right place and charm the right people there. Perhaps only Capricorn knows how to stand on his four hooves and not succumb to the archer's charm. Sagittarius is also extremely idealistic. When implementing his ideas, he is not inclined to go into details and details, so he often gets into trouble, but as usual, he shrugs his shoulders and goes on some new adventure, not at all caring about cleaning up the chaos left behind.

Venus in exaltation adds charm to Sagittarius (although, it would seem, far too much). As democratic as the Gemini (albeit with a fair amount of snobbery), Sagittarius can infiltrate any company, and then lead it along to the next adventure. However, Venus, without elaboration, gives a certain inertia of views and the ideas that Sagittarius pursues turn out to be a rather flat expression of the ideas of the social circle to which he belongs.

The fall of Mercury gives Sagittarius a dismissive attitude towards mental constructions and an unwillingness to comprehend their actions. However, it is precisely this Sagittarius that needs to be learned, because only attention to detail gives him the ability to accurately and subtly convey his ideas precisely to those who need them.

In astrology, all the signs of the Zodiac are divided into four elements of the elements according to the strength of their influence, in the understanding of ancient astrologers, the four elements correspond to the four basic concepts that characterize the manifestation of life:

space
time
Matter

Each of these concepts has its own 4 gradations and its own interpretation, despite some overlap with other divisions of the signs of the Zodiac. So, the zodiac is also divided into four periods according to the seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter), quarters of the day (morning, noon, sunset, midnight), etc.

The elements of the zodiac signs influence the formation of temperament and the features of its manifestation. According to the teachings of the ancients about the 4 elements that determine the state of matter, the signs of the Zodiac were divided into Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

The element of Fire determines the Spirit, the element of Air - Space, the element of Water - Time, and the element of Earth - Matter. Thus, all 12 signs of the Zodiac have a strict regular connection in terms of the qualities of manifestation, the strength of which depends on the sign's belonging to a certain element and is repeated in the circle of the Zodiac every three signs. Each element forms a trine or three symbols of the signs of the Zodiac - a kind of triangle of relationships.

The names of the elements should not be taken literally in the sense that they mean by themselves, but should be treated as a philosophical symbol denoting a set of certain qualities.

Trigons are indicated in astrology by triangles with their tip (point) up - the Elements of Fire and Air or down - the Elements of Earth and Water, the Triangles of the Elements of Air and Water have a line in the middle, as if crossing out the triangle.

Fire Release

The element of Fire is the trine of will. It includes Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Under this Element, smart and energetic people, leaders, enthusiasts are born. They are carriers of high energy. This is the temperament of the intellectual and the artist.

The ideal representative of this element is Aries, therefore, sometimes the element is referred to as the "element of Aries." According to ancient astrologers, Leo's energy is greatly influenced by the pituitary gland, so the release of its energy manifests itself "epileptiformly", impulsively, violently, sweeping everything away. The Leo-Man cannot be teased, angered; however, in their person you can have both a strong enemy and a true friend, on whom you can rely on in difficult times. Sagittarius is attributed by the ancients to a mixed type or “biliary-hepatic” in manifestation (in the terminology of ancient astrologers), which predetermines him with strong tendencies towards authoritarianism (dictatorship).

The ancients believed that the element of Fire reflects inner burning, the eternal upward movement in development, the desire for self-improvement, the constant desire for manifestation, the desire for life. In Eastern philosophy, this Element reflects the powerful influence of the will of Heaven, cash (“self”), gives it vitality and increased survival.

The element of Fire is always individual, since the individuality of existence is the main life principle, and, according to ancient philosophers, “Fire helps to ascend from the Earth to the Sun of the energy of the human soul after his death” (for materials on incarnation and its calculation, see the corresponding chapter). It is believed that the element of Fire symbolizes the vital fire and the power of the growing seed, the energy of the Kundalini spirit, which directs the inner aspiration of the heart to Divine Wisdom, to the Cosmic Mind.

It is no coincidence that the vital energy that is inside every person has a huge energy incarnation in the form of a “fiery plasma”: fire burns the old, unnecessary and renews a person, reincarnates him. The image of fire underlies all creative processes, at the source of any activity (it is not for nothing that they say “burning at work”).

The extinction of cosmic fire in a person is associated with the weakening of his flesh: he begins to get sick more often and seriously, he is threatened with death, as his survival rate decreases. In spiritual terms, this is associated with the weakness of the spirit, the possible influence of "impure forces", the service of evil. The extinction of a living fire is a manifestation of the hidden death of an individual in whom there is nothing to awaken, and he can become a toy in the hands of representatives of the devilish world.

Not without reason in ancient times the cult of Fire was worshiped by many peoples of Europe, Asia and America. He was given great importance in the knowledge of the world. Through it, people got the opportunity to penetrate into the essence of the complexity of human relations with Nature, the Cosmos. It is no coincidence that many hymns are dedicated to the God of Fire in the ancient Indian Vedas. In the Avesta - in the sacred books of Zoroastrianism, the God of Fire was one of the main gods. He gave a person a spark for life, a particle of Divine Fire in the temple of the Spirit* of a person, awakening him to vigorous activity.

The ancients gave the following characteristics to each of the signs of the element of Fire:

Aries - pioneer, architect
Leo - organizer, generator of life
Sagittarius - builder, performer

earth element

The Earth element is a trine of action. Depicted as a triangle, pointing down and symbolizing the tip of a shovel, pick. This element includes Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo. The elements govern the birth of practical, cautious, punchy and respectable people who affirm traditions. A typical representative of the elements of the Earth is the Bull (Taurus), whose head symbolizes his image in the circle of the Zodiac. Virgo has a “thyroid dominant” (a tendency to increased activity of the thyroid gland), that is, she is characterized by rapid excitability, irritability.

The "pituitary" temperament is in Capricorn, whose thyroid function is more stable. The ancients attached great importance to the influence of the hormonal glands on human activity. So, one of the most important meridians along which the bioenergetics of the human body passes, they considered the meridian of the “triple heater” (“endocrine meridian”), which is used in acupuncture and modern medicine for correcting bioenergetics in the body, redistributing it between organs.

It is believed that the elements of the signs of the zodiac determine the behavior of a person. People belonging to different Elements find it difficult to converge, often have many fundamental disagreements, and quarrel over trifles. They often show "internal friction", a fundamental mismatch of views and tastes, since they are antipodes. Such a mismatch in children can lead to the search for new companies, partners. As adults, they create a family at the behest of "emotions and hearts", but later, at the behest of the mind, they often get divorced.

It should be remembered that the zodiac circle has a peculiarity - it observes the principle of duality, or polarity, the principle of complementing opposite principles (male yang and female yang), opposing forces. As you know, life develops through the struggle of opposites. Secrecy and strength coexist with openness and gentleness, cruelty with kindness, mercy.

In the zodiac circle, the polarities are clearly marked and alternate one after another: if Capricorn is a male sign, then Aquarius is female, Pisces is a Yang sign, Aries is Yin, Taurus is male, and Gemini is female, etc. From this it follows, that all the signs of the Zodiac with the masculine principle are the elements of Fire and Air (a triangle pointing upwards), and with the feminine - the elements of Earth and Water (a triangle pointing downwards). One should not be surprised that the masculine principle falls on Virgo, and the feminine on Leo, since this is only a philosophical symbol in astrology, and not a sign of gender. Beginnings have their own content, mobile power, energy essence.

Signs related to the elements of the Earth have other qualities. So, Capricorn belongs to the so-called "animal" signs, which also include Aries, Taurus, Leo, Sagittarius (from the second half of its action, since this sign is depicted as a half-man above and animals below), Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Virgo belongs to the "human" signs, as well as Gemini, Aquarius, Sagittarius (the first half of the sign), Libra.

All three signs of the Zodiac that belong to the elements of the Earth (these are Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo) and all three signs of the elements of Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are nocturnal, “magnetic”, negative signs in astrological terms. The remaining six signs of the Zodiac, on the contrary, have alternative qualities in relation to those listed: they are daytime, "electric" and positive.

These signs are distinguished by special talents that can be successfully developed, since their owners are endowed with a "God's spark" from the nature of birth. So, Capricorn (like Aquarius) is inclined to philosophy, Virgo (and Libra) has a “pedagogical warehouse” mind, and Taurus has a musical talent, like the signs Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius.

Under the signs of Virgo, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius (up to its first half), beautiful people are often born, and under the signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Cancer - with various deformities, anatomical defects.

If you look closely at the circle of the Zodiac, you can see that the signs of the elements of Fire and Earth are antipodes in parts of the horoscope and are endowed with the corresponding content. Thus, the elements of Fire and Air have great internal energy, dynamism and mobility, adaptability. Despite their flexibility, the ability to adapt to external conditions, they almost do not succumb to other people's pressure (these people are stubborn, they rarely change their decisions). They themselves are able to influence the world around them, people.

All Yin (female) signs belonging to the elements of Earth and Water are more permanent and stable, enduring to external influences. For them, the spiritual world is very important (including in a partner, friend, colleague) and subjective concepts: family, home, friends, team, nation, state, country, homeland and their place of residence (especially the place of birth). However, they are also more susceptible to outside influences. They “hear” their partner better, they perceive him spiritually more subtle. They enjoy greater mutual understanding than the signs of the yang group.

The signs of the elements of the Earth carry a creative beginning, conceal inexhaustible riches of the soul, opportunities, like the planet Earth, which has an abundance of opportunities and treasures. According to Karma, which, according to the statements of astrologers and bioenergetics, controls a person, it follows: if he went through a previous life on a superficial, unkind or unspiritual path, his spirit during the subsequent incarnation (incarnation) is directed to the feminine. The spirit of this person soars in time according to the signs of the Zodiac and the elements in order to incarnate again into the flesh and atone for past sins. Losing spiritual Karma, people of Yang signs in order to achieve their spiritual goal incarnate in the months of the signs of the Zodiac of the elements of Earth and Water. That is why, when calculating incarnation, it happens that a person born in this life turns out to be of the opposite sex, and this may indirectly indicate certain karmic debts that he has to pay in real life.

Those born under the signs of the elements of the Earth are characterized by such qualities as reliability, concreteness, high efficiency, diligence, perseverance and perseverance in achieving the goal. People of these signs are passionate natures: for noble purposes, they use all their strengths and capabilities, both spiritual and material. Often, out of gullibility, they fall into the traps of dishonorable people. They have reduced practicality, lack of selfishness, self-interest and cunning, which creates certain life difficulties.

High endurance and tolerance, however, help them find a way out of the most difficult situations. They remember grievances, but are usually generous, easy-going. In their feelings they are distinguished by constancy, attachment to people.

It is noteworthy that people born under the sign of the element Earth, it is difficult to get along with other people, although they make new contacts with a desire, since they are characterized by curiosity, emotionality and sensuality. Sometimes they are impulsive, temperamental in expressing feelings and thoughts. Often these are intellectuals who are complex, but very interesting in terms of spiritual content, and it is important to understand them in order to get the maximum benefit from communicating with them.

The karmic task of the people of the elements of Fire is usually struggle, active creativity, and for the people of the elements of the Earth - creation, strengthening of spirituality, intellectual positions, inner content and physical strength that influences it. They prefer the rhythm of action, so they like to plan their day - they should be encouraged in this. It is easier for them to show their abilities and realize themselves when the life around them has a clear structure, order, rhythm, somewhat coinciding with the biorhythm of their body.

According to the astrological characteristics, these signs of the elements of the Earth mean:

Taurus - creative perseverance, patience and strength
Virgo - thoroughness in the performance of work, their duties
Capricorn is a leader who takes responsibility

Air Release

The element of Air is the trigon of thinking, its symbol is a triangle, pointing upwards and crossed out in the middle with a horizontal line. This Element includes Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. The element governs the birth of thinking people, geniuses and individuals who are very susceptible to change, to everything new.

According to the ancient philosophers, in terms of its elements, the element of Air is close to the element of Fire (therefore, their designation symbols are similar - triangles, the tops of which are directed upwards): both carry an active principle, entrain, set in motion. But their difference is that the element of Fire has a constant activity, a directed action, and the element of Air has a variable, inconstant activity in direction and strength. Such people often change their mood dramatically, for no apparent reason. After sleep, when most people feel rested, full of energy, the carriers of the signs of Air are irritable, especially Libra. Such people can do you good, and after a while they can hurt you. They often grab onto several incompatible cases, scatter: without finishing one, they grab onto another. It is useless to re-educate, reproach these people - such is their astrological nature.

The element of Air is in constant motion in relation to the all-encompassing space (since its symbol is Space). The manifestation of the action of this element depends on the specific situation. It transmits ideas and thoughts, connects people with each other and with their past, present and future - with the space of time. In the human body, the Element connects the work of the lungs and the movement of blood into one whole, saturating the latter with oxygen necessary for combustion, to release energy (proximity to the element of Fire).

The element of Air makes contacts at different levels, joins various, sometimes opposite ideas and the people who create them. This element is of great importance for the production activity of a person, for the realization of his business qualities and for obtaining quality products. The element of Air is a connecting principle, personifies contact, connection, induction in society.

The element of Air also has common features with the element of Water - both are considered mobile, unsteady, changeable.

The symbolism of the signs of the Zodiac themselves in the group of the elements of Air is not accidental: Gemini is designated as a symbol of the union of a man and a woman; Scales are depicted as a woman holding scales in her hands; and Aquarius - the image of a man. The ancient sages thus emphasized that the element of Air contributes to the manifestation of the basic qualities of a person: the ability for spiritual communication and mutual enrichment, the internal development of the individual, sociability, the desire for mutual understanding in the family, society, social environment, country. Thus, the element of Air contributes to the erasure of caste and class boundaries, switching attention, adaptation to various conditions, to the mutual satisfaction of requirements.

People of these zodiac signs are in constant search. They are drawn to novelty. It is difficult for them to perform monotonous, non-creative work, which depresses and overworks them, hinders the initiative and the manifestation of their best qualities. Diplomats and politicians are born under this sign. They are best used for relevant activities in which they can be realized, show their abilities within the framework of carrying out the main idea, work. They need control, but it should not be intrusive or humiliating.

The signs of the element of Air are associated with Spirit, with Divine Breath. The ancients believed that people of this element draw ideas from the air (according to Eastern philosophy and the doctrine of the elements, “ideas are in the air”, and bioenergy confirms that the energy of thought can be transmitted at a distance). They can be carried away by abstract ideas, be mistaken and stubborn in their views, despite the fact that life will repeatedly refute them. Relatives and relatives can find it very difficult with these people.

People of the signs of the elements of Air have a great influence on the development of society, which adopted the slogan put forward during the French Revolution: "Liberty, equality, fraternity." In astrology, freedom is symbolized by Aquarius, equality by Libra, brotherhood by Gemini. The signs of this Element also determine the main position of forces on Earth, the cultural, political and other relationships between the leading countries of the world: Russia is under the auspices of Aquarius, the development of England takes place under the sign of Libra, the USA is patronized by Gemini.

According to the astrological characteristics of the element of Air:

Aquarius is a man, father, freedom
Libra - woman, mother, equality
Gemini - symbolize children, brotherhood, unity

Water Release

The element of Water is a trigon of feelings, the symbol is a triangle pointing downwards, crossed out in the middle with a horizontal line. This element includes Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. The element controls the birth of emotional, very intelligent people with a well-developed sense of the subconscious, intuition.

Cosmological myths and ancient wisdom reflect "the embodiment of the Living Cosmos in the waters of the oceans." The image of Pisces symbolizes the embodiment of life itself on Earth. Water is a cosmic material principle, it has always symbolized the beginning of life, the earthly world. Therefore, water has always been held in high esteem, and the ancients worshiped it.

Astrologers believe that the element of Water is also associated with Karma. Each incarnation is the result of past earthly and planetary life. A lot of valuable information can be given to a person by his personal horoscope: it is “the passport of incarnation, shows where the soul of a person has been”, you just need to be able to read its astrological signs. All signs of the horoscope are karmic, but it manifests itself most strongly in the signs of the elements of Water - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

People of these signs always remember or subconsciously feel their past lives. They often have burdened Karma. What explains this? Pisces, which are the most characteristic representatives of the Element of Water as a sign of the Zodiac, carry the key to the puzzle. This sign is the last in the circle of the Zodiac and completes its cycle. The souls of incarnates go through the last stage of their reincarnation, they get the opportunity to materialize in life on Earth. According to the square of the division of the sectors of the Zodiac circle into the elements and according to the periods of human ages, this is the period of Old Age, the weakening of the perception of the Cosmic Forces by the human body, which affects the fate of people born under these signs: they tend to suffer, sacrifice themselves, experience tolerance and, it would seem, random (but karmic!) life failures, overcome them. Not understanding the meaning of the suffering that has befallen them, some people of these signs go into masochism, self-torture. They themselves create trouble for themselves, underestimate events, as they say, "seeking adventure." But only when they overcome difficulties does their karmic healing come.

The signs of the elements of Water are associated with emotional Karma, with the consequences that resulted from the unbridledness of one's own emotions and feelings in a past life. According to Karma, all the troubles that the man of the element of Water brought to people in a past life, their experiences, torments, emotional upheavals should pass on to him in this life - he must now experience all these sorrows himself. During incarnation, as the ancient astrologers assured, the Great Justice of the Cosmos is observed: to each according to his merits.

For example, it is believed that if in a past life a child tormented parents with whims and deliberate bullying, the unseemliness of which he realized with age, then in this life he himself will become a parent who will have a child, a copy of himself in the past. If in a past life he was a slave to his erotic hobbies, as a young man or adult he was fed up with love and betrayal, then in his present incarnation he must experience the fate of the victim or the person to whom he caused a lot of trouble. If in a past life he was a drunkard, then in this life he can become a woman who will marry a drunkard and will herself suffer, not being able to free herself; the latter can also affect the child: born a child of a drunkard father, most likely physically or mentally handicapped, he and his parents will know all the suffering. If in a past life his actions were distinguished by sadism, then in this life he will be born a person who will experience the same actions from another person.

People of the element of Water are distinguished by high emotional susceptibility, they subtly feel those around them, they feel well the frequency signals of the Cosmos. The symbol of the element is a triangle turned upside down, crossed out by a horizontal line, reminiscent of the image of a glass filled up to half with energy liquid. People of this element have good occult, meditation and other abilities that connect a person with the other world. On the other hand, in comparison with the signs of other Elements, they are more immersed in the world of their own experiences. Emotional connections are more important for them than business ones. They are distinguished by greater constancy in their feelings. At the same time, they are not only emotional, but also impulsive, sometimes capable of rash acts: at the beginning they do, and then analyze what has happened.

Such personalities are also endowed with great survival and resistance to the onslaught of life storms. The mighty life force of their symbol of water helps them, the ancients believed, to relatively quickly restore the Cosmic energy perceived by the body and get back on their feet after crushing defeats. People of these signs have the ability to accumulate huge potential forces for future development.

Astrological characteristics of the signs of the elements:

Cancer - intuition, development of feelings
Scorpio - it is characterized by a concentration of feelings and emotions
Pisces - the transformation of their feelings and suffering into spiritual strength

Astrological knowledge of Karma, Fates give a person the opportunity to be more tolerant of the inevitable difficulties in life, failures and defeats. From a philosophical and astrological standpoint, they should be perceived as a test given to a person, which he must overcome, and not panic, do not give up, do not torment yourself with remorse, which could be otherwise, “if only, if only ...”.

According to the doctrine of Karma, one should show character and overcome the difficulties that have arisen to the best of one's ability, endure them steadfastly. Apparently that's why there are "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The “unlucky” are still unlucky, although they seem to try no less than the “lucky” ones and do the same thing as them.

The twelve signs of the Zodiac are divided into four groups according to the elements, as well as into three groups according to qualities or crosses. The elements of the signs of the Zodiac show stable qualities and temperament, and the crosses show the dynamics of manifestation, the type of human behavior. Each cross contains all four elemental characteristics, and each element has its representation in all three crosses. Thus, each sign of the Zodiac is a unique combination of elements and qualities.
