‘Oh, I am a fire sign’ or ‘Oh, I am an earth sign’ are phrases that we often hear people say about themselves. But what does it mean to be a fire sign or earth sign? The elements of our zodiac signs often get overlooked, but they are as essential as the other planetary positions that affect our zodiac sign and astrology.

Fire signs
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the three fire signs. They carry the spark of life within them and are the most passionate of the lot. They are bright, warm, enticing and quite extroverted. Fire signs mostly work on the motto of ‘all or nothing.’ They are independent and always need some level of freedom to be truly happy. Another trait that resonates with them is they achieve everything they set their minds to.
Earth signs
Earth signs include Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. This element is the most reliable of them all, so an earth sign will always be a trustworthy friend or partner. They are very practical people and often become too rigid as they take their aspirations and goals too seriously. Earth signs are wise, stable, sensual and grounded.
Air signs
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are all air signs. These people are the hardest to pin down and they love that about themselves. They are quick, curious, intelligent and flirty individuals who make great writers and artists. They have charming personalities and often attract people to them. However, they are the most adaptable signs of the lot, so watch out for them floating off and ghosting you.
Water signs
Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are known as the water signs. They keep in touch with their heart and soul and are often a healer for people around them. This zodiac sign is intuitive and can read between the lines effortlessly. Sensitive to energy, this zodiac sign gets influenced very easily and, just like water, flows in any direction easily.
