Astrological signs are divided into four categories or ‘Elements’. These are also known as Fire Signs, Earth Signs, Air Signs and Water Signs.

These are also known as ‘triplicies’ because each Element governs three of twelve Zodiac signs.

Knowing which Element you belong helps you to understand basic characteristics of your personality and the personality of others.

What’s your ‘sign’ or ‘star sign’?

Laziness does exist regarding use of words such as ‘sign’ and ‘star sign.’ Usually, each refers to a person’s Sun Sign. Basically, your Sun Sign is the sector in your horoscope chart that was occupied by the Sun at the time of your birth. Because it is the center of our universe, bringer of life and all other planets revolve around it, we give the Sun the most attention. However, it’s also essential to know the placement of every planet when compiling a horoscope chart. It all starts by determining if you’re a Fire, Earth, Air or Water Sign.

Fire Signs
