THE ELEMENTS AND QUALITIES OF ASTROLOGY


And the Corresponding Signs
Astrology divides the zodiac signs into four elements of FIRE, EARTH, AIR and WATER. Because there are twelve signs, three
have been assigned to each element. These are referred to as the Triplicities, three signs that exhibit the same element. The
element of each sign also corresponds to the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter). The Elements speak of the
basic nature and temperament of a Sign, whereas the Qualities address their manner of expression.
Below you will find tables describing each signs element and quality with basic characteristics. Knowing the qualities and
elements of each sign ensures a far better interpretation of the horoscope.
