Air Signs
Every one of the twelve astrological signs is affected by its element and its quality. These two things represent the basic characteristics of the sign and directly affect how a sign will behave in certain situations, respectively. The three qualities are Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. The four elements are Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Each of these will influence a person’s individual horoscope and astrological balance.
Air Signs tend to deal with intellect, relationships, and communications in general. People with Air Sign influence will be quick, animated, and able to apply their energies diversely. While Air Signs are thought to be the most “human” of all the signs, they are also thought to be the coldest and most emotionally detached, perhaps because of the tendency to intellectualize emotions and feelings. Air Signs must always examine the reasons behind an action, discuss everything, and emphasize both thought and sociability. The three Air Signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.
Gemini
Gemini, or the twins, is ruled by Mercury and is a mutable air sign. Typically speaking, the Gemini will have a changeable, light, and sparkling quality about them, which can be illustrated by the twin representation. The twin can be more like a split personality which makes it very easy for a Gemini to go either way in almost any situation. The Gemini tends to feel the best in the middle of exciting things though has trouble dealing with emotions. The location of Gemini will indicate where in life communications and information are the most important to you.
Libra
Libra is a cardinal air sign that is ruled by Venus. Libra is represented by the scales, which is a good indicator that when the scales are balanced and harmonious, things seem better to those with a strong Libra influence. Libra is the sign that rules art, charm, beauty, social graces, fairness, justice, and partnership. The person with a strong Libra influence will gravitate toward beautiful things and smooth communication. The appearance and location of Libra will help identify where in life your need for beauty is most apparent.
Aquarius
Aquarius is a fixed air sign that mainly represents friendship. All of the air signs represent relationships in some way – Gemini, the twins or brother and sister, and Libra representing marriage and partnership. Aquarius is constantly striving to stretch the boundaries and take things a little further. It breaks old forms and habits as it brings about the new and shocking. Aquarius is often a representative of rebellion and the bizarre. In your astrological chart, the location of Aquarius will help you identify where in life you can be your true self – the most original form of yourself – and where you can be the most independent. Aquarius indicates where the genius in you will come out, but it can also indicate the places in life where you will tend to shock people.
