Accordingly to astrology, all the astrological signs are uniformly categorized into four ‘elements’ – Fire, Air, Earth and Water.
The professional term used to describe these categories is ‘triplicies’, since each of these elements includes three zodiac signs. If you figure out what element rules your zodiac sign, you can understand several of your characteristic personality traits. By finding out what elements govern which astrological signs, you can understand people better, which will help you in communicating with them in a more successful way.
When you contact a professional astrologer, he/she will evaluate your planets and your rising sign based upon your sign’s governing element. Also keep in mind that in astrology, all the planets revolve around the Sun and therefore it demands some extra attention.
