4 Elements in Astrology: Defining characteristics of the Zodiac.

There are 4 Elements in Astrology. The Zodiac consists of twelve Zodiac signs; each sign is categorized into four elements, also known as triplicities. The signs are grouped into– Fire, Earth, Air, and Water and have their defining characteristics.

Many signs are similar to each other for example, Cancer and Pisces are both very compassionate and intuitive - Virgo and Capricorn are very grounded and ambitious. These associations are the signs sharing the same element.

We call these groupings, Triplicities, three signs per element. When interpreting these elements as personality traits or qualities, they become essential features of the representation.

Each of the four elements—Fire, Earth, Water, and Air — have correlations over corresponding Zodiac signs. The signs of each group are 'trine'(120 degrees) to one another.
