Water sign traits: What are the water signs?

The elements are an important part of the zodiac and can help you to spot the differences and similarities between the signs. As astrology fans will know, your birth chart is made up of more than just your star sign. Your chart shows you which sign every planet was in at the time of your birth, and each sign is a different element. This means your chart can be lacking or abundant in certain elements.

Some of us have an obvious emphasis on some elements in our charts, and some have an under-emphasis.

For example, you may be a Sagittarius with lots of placements in Aries and Leo so fire dominates your chart.

Alternatively you could be an Aquarius with a Libra rising and Gemini Moon, making you very Airy.

Tompkins wrote: “An understanding of the elements and modes does more than foster an understanding of the signs: it can provide a starting point towards understanding the whole horoscope.”
