There are a few distinct lenses through which you can have access to zodiacal knowledge. The most obvious method is to learn about planets, aspects, and houses based on your own narcissistic discoveries through the lens of your own birth chart. This is a perfectly valid route. I’ve completed the task. It’s something I’ve done to myself, my crushes, and even my celebrity crushes. I was ten years old and anxious to figure out how Gerard Way, the lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and I could finally make it work. One of the touchstones of my current astrological understanding was that romantic desperation.
But if I could start over, I’d start with the fundamentals: the ingredients. The 12 zodiac signs are split into four elements in Western astrology: air, water, fire, and earth. Each has its own characteristics and associations, which are included in diverse ways by the three signs an element rules.
You’ll have a good knowledge of every sign if you comprehend the ingredients. This will give you access to the full wheel of the zodiac. The planets in each sign become (kind of) easy to imagine from there. Even compatibility, which we’ll discuss later, becomes more straightforward. Earth and water coexist, fire and air coexist, water extinguishes fire, air hovers above the earth… It’s like playing Pokmon or Rock, Paper, Scissors on a cosmic scale.
Of course, it was an air sign who first introduced me to this ingenious strategy. Air signs are both communicative and intellectual. They are experts in the ephemeral, or things that do not have a physical shape in our world, and this is especially true of language and knowledge. Our breath is the air element, and it is the most important and unseen function of our bodies. The Chinese zodiac does not recognize air as a traditional element; instead, it is transformed into qi, the ultimate power that pervades everything. The Air, which represents the East on a Wiccan altar, can be symbolized by anything from a feather to incense; the Air is untouchable and immaterial because it has no tangible material form, even in devotion.
Air signals are especially subject to their own personal projections because air is formless and lacks a physical body. Air signs are unrestricted by space and can fly everywhere, from places to individuals; as a result, they’re prone to total imagination. They prefer theory to practice and can become engrossed in continually thinking or talking about something rather than implementing it.
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the three air signs. For the time being, consider each of them to symbolize a different stage of emotional and spiritual development. Gemini is the first sign on the zodiac calendar, and Aquarius is the last, making it the most mature of the three. So, in Gemini, we have a newborn, a nave variant on air; in Libra, we have a teenager who wants to try everything; and in Aquarius, we have a cantankerous, old soul.
The twins are GEMINI. I believe that the things we dislike the most in ourselves are the qualities that zodiac signs have the worst reputations for, and poor Gemini is a constant victim of that unjust slander. In Paprika, one of my favorite movies, a minor character transforms into a villain, splitting into dual heads and rupturing his seam with cerulean butterflies. “I never knew this side of you!” exclaims the heroine, horrified. “I have many sides,” our doppelganger responds, “and that is what makes me human!”
All of that bullshit about Geminis being two-faced liars is true, but we all do it to some extent. This is code-switching in its purest form. It’s “turning on for work,” having a “phone voice,” and avoiding the topic of your kinky sex life at the dinner table with your Evangelical grandfather. Our identity is fleeting, changing all the time. Gemini simply embraces its natural duality a little more forcefully and openly than the other of the zodiac signs.

What are the things that air signs are drawn to?
When it comes to love compatibility, air signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius have the most romantic affinities. Fire signs, like air signs, are both thinkers and doers. Air signs appreciate seeing their partners discuss and research intellectual matters, thus their passionate and driven personalities appeal to them.
What does it mean to be born under the sign of the Air?
The four elements (fire, water, earth, and air) are used to identify and characterize the 12 zodiac signs in astrology. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the zodiac’s three air signs, and they are the zodiac’s thinkers, communicators, and doers. They investigate, synthesize, and analyze. They fly through life, never pausing to take a breath. They have a “live and let live” attitude, and their intelligence aids them in making quick decisions. These knuckleheads take the lead with their *brains* (unlike say, water signs, who lead with their hearts).
Not to brag, but I am an air sign, and air signs are the society’s leaders. They have the ability to see circumstances objectively and without emotion clouding their judgment. They may appear cold or even unfeeling, but they do have feelings; they just prefer to hide them rather than wear them on their sleeves. Ideas, accomplishments, and accurate information are all represented by air signs. They’re always looking for the finer points, and they’ll point out every mistake. Call an air sign if you need someone to come up with a wonderful concept and then carry it through.
Why are air signs the most beneficial?
Air signs are recognized for being expert communicators and for disseminating ideas. They are “change agents” who are very intelligent but have their heads in the clouds.
As the twins point out, “When things get stale, air signals give everyone a breath of fresh air. You can’t quite catch them, like the air, and you never know where they’ll dump you once they’ve swept you up. However, it will virtually always be an experience.”
These signs thrive on fascinating discourse, and communication is a common element in both their love and non-romantic relationships, as well as their professional lives. They’re usually bright and funny people who enjoy socializing and don’t want to sit still for lengthy periods of time.
While their free-spirited attitude is bound to keep things exciting, air signs must be careful not to become dispersed, as their “all over the place” energy can leave them feeling ungrounded.
What are the characteristics of air signs?
Have you ever wondered what the zodiac signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius have in common? The answer is, of course, that they’re all AIR signs.
Air is an elusive element that is sometimes overlooked since it cannot be seen… yet that does not negate its importance. Air, like its significance in the physical world, is extremely important in the astrological sphere, and persons born under an air sign are known to have a variety of specific qualities and characteristics.
So, to help you comprehend the astrology of the air signs, let’s look at seven of the ‘core’ personality traits and attributes that make up the air zodiac signs… it should be rather instructive!
Air signs are typically extremely intelligent.
The air signs, despite their name, are far from being ‘airheads.’ Indeed, they are well-known for being hyperactive creatures whose thoughts are constantly racing and thinking intensely about various topics.
They have the ability to process information at breakneck speed and have been known to come up with total strokes of genius that have the potential to change and revolutionize the world. They thrive in jobs that require quick thinking and excel at everything that allows them to flex their mental muscles.
Air signs are elusive and hard to read.
Air signs, like a strong gust of wind rushing through the sky, are quick and elusive, making it difficult for others to ‘get a read’ on them.
Because they spend so much time in their heads, they can appear distant, making it difficult for others to figure out what’s going on in their heads!
Air signs are considered to be the “communicators of the zodiac.
The air signs are known as the “communicators of the zodiac” in astrology, and each has a special talent for communicating with and cooperating with their fellow humans.
The Gemini personality, for example, excels at one-on-one communication and is capable of sparking some of the most fascinating and rewarding talks. Libra’s personality attributes, on the other hand, enable them to function effectively in groups, and they have a knack for leading a team to a magnificent win. The Aquarius personality, on the other hand, possesses a rare ability to connect with any type of person or thought, no matter how abstract or strange.
Air signs have an adventurous and fun-loving nature.
The air signs are known for their ability to let their hair down and have a good time, and they’re almost always ready for a good distraction from life, especially when things become monotonous.
They have an impulsive and adventurous side that leads them to seek out new and intriguing experiences on a regular basis. They’re also great company because they’re continuously coming up with new ideas for things to do and keeping things interesting.
Air signs prefer to make decisions with their head rather than on sheer emotion.
The air zodiac signs are masters of critical thinking, and rather than making reckless decisions based solely on their emotions (like some of the other signs may do), they prefer to make logical and considered decisions based on their intellect.
They’re all about the facts and getting to the bottom of things, and they carefully consider all of the pros and cons before making a major decision. They may also remove themselves from problems in such a way that they can sit back and examine a situation objectively and open-mindedly.
Air signs are philosophical and they often ponder life’s big questions.
The air signs are some of the most inquisitive and curious personalities in the zodiac, and they are constantly asking themselves serious philosophical questions and considering life’s most pressing issues.
They can become so absorbed in their thoughts that they lose track of time and forget about the outer world. They simply have a lot on their minds!
Air signs are free-spirits who can’t be controlled.
All three air signs are known for their free-spirited personalities, and they’re the types of people who like to live life on their own terms rather than trying to fit in with other people’s expectations.
They don’t like it when others try to control them or impose norms and expectations on what they should and shouldn’t do, and they demand the freedom to think and behave as they like.
Are air signs the most intelligent?
Although being considered one of the smartest zodiac signs has its advantages, it also has its drawbacks.
Simmons says, “Air signs are such rational, mental people who have a tendency to overthink.” “Talk therapy, meditation, and writing may be beneficial to them.”

Are the signs of the zodiac flirty?
Purdy notes, “Air signs are notoriously flirty.” “It’s a pretty good bet that an Air sign will appreciate you if you can be flirty and flirt back.” It’s worth mentioning that Air signs have a proclivity for quickly losing interest.
What are the symptoms that don’t get along?
According to an astrologer, the most incompatible zodiac signs should never, ever date.
- CANCER AND ARIES. Aries is a fast-paced sign who thrives on the thrill of the moment.
- SCORPIO AND GEMINI
- SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN.
- AQUARIUS AND TAURUS.
Who is the air sign’s supremo?
Libra is cardinal, the leader of the air signs; Aquarius is fixed, able to stick to one line of thinking; and Gemini is mutable, as unpredictable as the planet that rules it.
