One of my oldest and best friends (an Aquarius, of course) issued the following announcement to all of their closest friends at the start of the year (paraphrased for length and privacy):
This year’s theme is ONLY EARTH SIGNS. Sorry, fire, air, and water signs, but I’m done. You’re fucked. I’m done with your nonsense. I’m busy TRANSCENDING realms and dimensions that you can’t possibly imagine. I require GROUNDING.
On the one hand, receiving this letter, especially in an unrelenting block of big neon text and shouting caps, was a genuinely disturbing experience. There are four elements that make up the 12 zodiac signs. water, fire, air, and earth are the four elements that make up the universe. Almost everyone in my friend’s family, including myself, isn’t an earth sign. Under the pretext of astrology, they were stating that they were removing practically everyone who cared about them.
On the other hand… I think I’ve figured it out. And I understand. We’ve talked about how air signs breathe ideas and information, how fire signals burn with force and passion, and how water signs swim in emotions and memory. All of these features, however, are personal sensations, actions of perception that are completely intangible. Earth is a genuine, physical entity. In the material world, the things that comes out of the earth-precious stones, harvests, clay-has genuine value. We can reach out and touch it, build with it, and share it. Beyond our particular psyches, Earth exists as something we can physically hold and be held inside. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the three earth signs, and they tend to be stable, grounded, and realistic.
Aristotle believed that earth was the heaviest of the four elements before there was a notion of gravity. The element of earth has traditionally been associated with matter, the biology of human existence, fertility, and the terrestrial. In tarot, earth is represented by the suit of pentacles (or coins, depending on which deck you’re using), which is the suit of money and materialism. The soil element is known as t in Chinese philosophy, and it represents stability, yin and yang balance, and seasonal change.
My friend finally texted me again a few weeks ago, this time with a different number, in a group text. I sincerely hope they discovered the earth for which they yearned for structure, connection to their physical bodies, and interaction with the world around them. These are the traits we need to withstand the pressures of the three other internal, ephemeral aspects, the anchor that binds us to humans and humanistic wants.

Consider them your most important astrological data. These three signs are quite essential in your horoscope, and each is in charge of a different aspect of your personality and total self. While the sun represents your core self and the moon your inner self, you might consider your rising sign to be reflective of your outward self.

What are the four signs of the earth?
- Warning signals for fires (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
- Signs of the Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
- Signs in the air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
- Watermarks (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
What is the third sign in the zodiac?
Capricorns are the third earth sign of the zodiac and the tenth overall sign. They are hardworking, practical, dependable, orderly, and stable. When it comes to achieving any given big picture aim, the cardinal one of the earth group has no qualms about taking the lead. They seem to have an infinite supply of drive and resolve, which they usually display in a calm, measured, and grounded manner. They consider every ambition as a mountain to be scaled one step at a time, slowly, steadily, and pragmatically. They’re not in a rush, and they’re focused on accomplishing whatever it is they’re doing right and in a controlled manner.
What is the meaning of an earth sign in the zodiac?
The 12 zodiac signs are split into four elements in astrology: fire, earth, air, and water. All human life depends on the elements, which cannot live without one another. We’re delving (get it?) into earth signs today.
Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the most grounded people on the globe, the ones that always keep it 100 percent real. They’re recognized for being steadfast, pragmatic, and unflappable. You’re calling an earth sign if you need someone to assist you move or edit your resume. They’re practical and dependable, and you can rely on them at any time. They’re also trustworthy, and they’ll tell you if your relationship isn’t working out. They really do make the best buddies. They take a long time to become enraged, so it takes a lot of effort to frustrate them. But be careful when they’re irritated!
Earth signs are anything but boring, despite their utility. They are sensual to the core and enjoy collecting material goods, especially when they are rewarding themselves for all their hard work. They’re extremely tuned in to their senses, which means they have delicious culinary recommendations, amazing fashion sense, and create incredible playlists. Never ones to give up on a project or a relationship, they’ll see it through to the conclusion while remaining pleasant.
What exactly are the big three?
At the Teheran Conference in 1943, Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (from left to right) met.
(LC-USZ62-32833, Library of Congress.)
“The only thing worse than having allies is not having them,” British Prime Minister Winston Churchill reportedly said. The three great Allied countries, Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, formed a Grand Alliance during World War II, which was crucial to victory. However, the alliance partners did not always agree on how the war should be fought and did not have common political goals.
When the United States entered the war in 1941, Churchill and US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had been working together for some time. Roosevelt believed that a British victory over the Axis was in America’s best interests, whilst Churchill believed that such a victory was impossible to achieve without American help. In 1940, the two presidents worked together to find a method for America to assist Britain in maintaining its neutrality without jeopardizing its neutrality. The following year, they gathered off the coast of Newfoundland to begin organizing the postwar world in broad terms. Stalin, the Soviet Premier, was a late addition to the Big Three. Representatives from all three nations signed the United Nations Declaration on New Year’s Day 1942, vowing to work together to fight the Axis forces.
The Big Three had a lot of difficulty coordinating their operations. Because their capitals were thousands of miles apart, critical decisions had to be made via telephone or telegraph. Roosevelt, Stalin, and Churchill only met in person twice during the war, despite the fact that their officials met frequently.
What are the signs of the moon?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
Who is the earth sign’s supremo?
Don’t you think of a tough and authoritative leader when you think about Capricorn? Because they are the rulers of astrology, they emit cardinal energy. Winter has arrived when the sun enters Capricorn, and Capricorn is in charge with the same serious and calculated power that is required to survive the toughest season of all. Capricorn, as an earth sign, leads with logic, reason, and long-term goals in mind. This zodiac sign is quick to devise a strategy and delegate responsibility within their society. It’s up to them to devise a winning strategy.
Is it possible to combine fire and earth?
Love may be the most perplexing, yet beautiful, emotion we have as humans. However, astrology memes and Instagram horoscopes announcing which signs are the most suitable appear to be conveying us the notion that our love lives are set by the stars, according to our social media feeds.
The most often asked inquiries I hear from clients as an astrologer are about their relationships. “Will I be successful?” is not a question many people ask. or “What’s in store for me in the future?” “Are we astrologically compatible?” instead. However, assisting someone in finding an answer necessitates much more than simply examining both parties’ Sun signs. It also necessitates a thorough examination of each person’s astrological chart, which is comprised of three elements.
Then there’s your Sun Sign, which most people refer to as their primary zodiac sign. This is the part of your horoscope that represents your ego. Then there’s your Moon Sign, which influences how you feel. Finally, you have a rising sign, which is the public face you present. (I recommend checking out if you want to figure out all three of your own signals.) Cafe Astrology’s website is css-1tm5c7k.css-1tm5c7k:hover.)
The sun signs of the zodiac that are the most compatible are:
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are Fire signs, and they get along best with other Fire and Air signs like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) frequently get along best with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, who are Earth and Water signs.
Signs in the air
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius go well with Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, which are all Air and Fire signs.
Watermarks
Water and Earth signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are often suitable matches for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
Even with all of this knowledge, the issue remains: Can we really trust the zodiac to tell us which signs are compatible? On the one hand, it appears doubtful that the stars are in control of us. On the other hand, the zodiac appears to be a useful tool when you remember that, before dating apps had algorithms, matchmakers all over the world used astrology to decide whether two people would make great companions. Perhaps the most common misunderstanding is that simply knowing two people’s sun signs allows us to predict who and what they should adore. Instead, the reality is that, while astrology can serve as a guide, we ultimately have complete control over who we love.
Are all Capricorns born under the sign of the earth?
The earth element is represented by the signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. According to Joyce, all three are practical and methodical. Because structure is a personal concern, they are known as the “builders of the cosmos.” But don’t get it all mixed up. While these indicators appreciate a well-thought-out strategy, they aren’t overly serious. (One in particular has a rebellious streak, so keep an eye out for that.) Earth signs value stability beyond all else.
These indications are even considered sexy by Joyce. She explains, “They’re attached to their bodies and desires.” “They are powerful because their ego does not come in the way of hard work and difficult decisions that must be made on the path to success.”
When things go rough, earth signs have the foresight to figure out which techniques will get them going and yield long-term benefits. They’ll also set aside distractions and do whatever it takes to finish the job because they’re not afraid of getting their hands filthy.
